Fatigue is common place in my life. <\/p>\n<p>Now I struggle with putting naps off.  The idea of not being with it enough afterwards, for my kids sakes, is a real difficulty.  This inner conflict meets its match with the promise of fresh espresso to help with the wake up process.  I am super thankful for my little stove top espresso maker.  It doesn&#8217;t break down like the fancy new ones often do.  It is fast and makes nine shots at a time!<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-KXLJhyHpMfU\/TmLJSXktV8I\/AAAAAAAAMwY\/iqU3PdmezeM\/s1600\/SSPX1268.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-KXLJhyHpMfU\/TmLJSXktV8I\/AAAAAAAAMwY\/iqU3PdmezeM\/s320\/SSPX1268.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5648298200078833602\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>After years of this fatigue stuff I still manage to smile as I work at shacking it off, because I really really like my espresso treat and the espresso making process.<\/p>\n<p>I have to serve my wake up espresso with something substantial to avoid going from a walking ton of bricks to jittery jabber-y nut.  I find the process of setting it all up a sweet encouragement to my weary self.  It is almost as pleasant as the slow morning routine of setting up a breakfast and not just scarfing something down.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Sun coming up&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/>patter out to the kitchen in favorite robe&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/>make favorite hot beverage and set up you breakfast in style so you feel pleased to sit down to it&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/>crack open the Bible and breath in and out as much as possible before the kids wake up!<br \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-lcVeOAUbI60\/TmLJSsiRs0I\/AAAAAAAAMwg\/iXASBmEM4gI\/s1600\/SSPX1263.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-lcVeOAUbI60\/TmLJSsiRs0I\/AAAAAAAAMwg\/iXASBmEM4gI\/s320\/SSPX1263.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5648298205705777986\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Speaking of the process of presenting ones self with more then a meal but a moment&#8230;I just purchased a book, long ago recommended to me.
