However, every once in a while, I still wish upon a star and daydream about House Cleaning Fairies, Laundry Godmothers or bunnies other than the dust ones that frequent my house. I sometimes long for the days when the excitement of a legendary holiday visitor would tear me out of bed at the crack of dawn with fulfillment of wishes I didn't even know I had. These guardians of childhood innocence took a personal back seat and faded with each calendar year I added gleefully to take the reins again when the addition of my own children reinvented my love for them. But, this morning at 3:02 am precisely, I was visited by my very own mythical fulfiller of wishes: The Starbucks Fairy!
When I woke up this morning at 6 am and was lazily perusing my email, pondering how I was going to function today with five kids under 5 years old, no working dryer and piles of laundry, I came to this email:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy your Starbucks Card eGift
Hi Jennifer,
Your Priority Motivator wanted to make your day so they’ve sent you a $25.00 Starbucks Card eGift to spend on your favorite beverage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How phenomenal is that! No name, just "your priority motivator." I giggled! Yes, giggled, when i read it and I got out of bed with a spring in my step!
I guess this means I should accomplish the things I said I would if I had $25 in Starbucks money. I wouldn't want the Starbucks Fairy to think I'm ungrateful or unworthy.
Starbucks Fairy, wherever your caffeinated home is, I hope you heard my child-like giggle and know that you made my day!
