Braxton Hicks contractions are the worst, but spilled coffee is even worse-er

So I was a wee bit stressed out today. I woke up with some mild contractions - braxton hicks - not the original stress-er but close. I tried to eat something but nothing sounded good. Spilled my coffee on my jammies, got dressed. Refilled my coffee cup with fresh coffee, spilled on my outfit. CHANGED my clothes, and my son says "mommy the doggy drinked your coffee". SERIOUSLY I am wondering if Karma hates me today. ANYWAY My contractions got a little stronger - not really painful just uncomfy. I worked through them, got myself cleaned up, fresh coffee-ed and got my son cleaned up. We headed out the door to meet up with friends to walk. I walked till my feet hurt. Got home and put my son down for a nap. I was still having a few mild contractions, so I made some lunch and poured a glass of coke - my caffeine consumption was low and I needed some STAT! I spilled THAT as I was walking to the sofa to put my feet up and enjoy some lunch in front of the DVR.
Then I decided to give up, and take a bath/shower. Our tub is teeny so the only way to really relax within it is to have the stopper stopped and the shower running. The contractions have stopped. I feel better now, but I could seriously go for some caffeine in a spill proof sippy cup preferably! Do you think they make those for adults?!
If you have made it through that rambling I would share my coffee with you, but I would probably spill on the computer today! Sorry ladies!

Oh man, if it weren't for this I would spill my coffee all the time. Its a spill proof insulated coffee tumbler. I LOVE IT.
Thanks for the concern. I am sure she put her face in it and snorted - it was pretty splashed over the side - because it was HOT. I love my dogs (and my cats) and wouldn't do anything to intentionally harm them in any way. I don't think she consumed any this time, and she has consumed coffee in the past with no ill effects to her well-being.
LOL! I will DEFINITELY have to look into it, because spilled coffee really makes a day BAD!
I've got a habit of trying to open/close a door with the same hand holding my coffee... I don't know why, you think I would have learned, right? Well I got that and I don't have to worry about it any more. Spilled coffee is NOT how I like to start my day. It's totally worth it, and I highly recommend it!
