Matthew and I had a great night out on Friday. Miss Emily was a good companion; ate at convenient times and either slept or looked around the rest of the evening.
We went to Starbucks at the mall for a warm beverage. I ordered my standard coffee shop drink:
Non-fat, Decaf, Sugar-free Hazelnut latte
Which makes Honey shake his head and smile. He asked if I’d just like some flavoured water. I know, I know – what’s the point, apart from not laying awake all night? I can’t drink caffeine that late or I can’t sleep. At least that was the case before I was waking for nightly feedings.
The non-fat, sugar-free part is my attempt to regain my pre-pregnancy body…and then maintain it once I get there. It also helped balance out the calories in the brownie we shared. See – there IS a method to my madness.
Then there’s another standard bevvie…caffeine-free Diet Coke. Again – what’s the point? I do prefer the caffeine variety of that particular beverage, but one can’t live on caffeine alone. Or can they?
As my sleep deficit goes deeper into the red I may be inclined to find out.
I’m glad you had a good night out with your husband.
My husband gets on me about the same things… since i love caffeine-free Diet Coke as well… he thinks i should just drink water too… But i love the fizz of Diet coke, and don’t really want the caffiene.

The point is that they’re still delicious! I order them like that too, and I do tend to feel a little awkward, as well as make my friends a tad uncomfotable, but it always makes for a good laugh afterward.
Mmmmm…lattes…

Amen and Amen. Glad to hear the sleep deficit exists somewhere other than our house. It makes it easier to bear.

Yesterday I ordered a non-fat pumpkin latte with whip. The whip is just so good! But I felt kind of silly because isn’t that sort of like ordering a big mac meal, supersized, with a diet coke?

Just cause they don’t have to worry about calories and fat intake. It just isn’t fair, so enjoy however you like your coffee. By the way he is just teasing you cause he likes you. lol, cause that is what husbands do.
