no coffee for me thanks

This past weekend my mother-in-law came to visit us, she is an absolutely lovely person. I described her to a workmate as Donna Reed meets the Care Bears, she is That nice. (yes, I am very fortunate) We had a great time and yesterday morning she flew back home. Her flight was Very early, she and blu eyes had to leave the house at 4 am. (yuck)

Blu eyes woke me up, as he always does, to give me a kiss and say goodbye, and most mornings 'I love you'. (I know - awww but he is not a mushy person by nature, unlike me, so it is a nice thing to hear when he says it) After this little ritual I drift back off to sleep. Zzzzzz...

In the clouds of slumber I felt something being laid over me, I woke up slightly - the room still dark - and hovering over me was a tall shadowy figure! Ahhhhh!
I start flailing at whatever was over me!!

Only to then hear blu eyes rumbling laughter,
"Easy baby, it's just me."

Me: groggy voiced, still half panicked and very relieved,
"But I thought you left"

Blu eyes (still laughing): "We did but it didn't take as long as we thought, so I came back by for some more coffee and to turn the AC on, it's going to be hot today. I didn't want you to be cold so I was just covering you before I headed to work."
(In hindsight this was very sweet, I was less grateful at the moment.)

Me: "You scared the heck of me!" (halting sigh)

Blu eyes (yes, still laughing): "I am sorry baby - go back to sleep."
(me thinking 'Not VERY Likely')
"Oh, and I took all the coffee, you will have to make more." he said as he was leaving.

Flopping back down on the pillow I thought to myself, after that adrenaline rush - who needs coffee!? Maybe an herbal tea :)
