This is the movie made about my day yesterday. They made it before the actual day, though. Weird.
Okay, so even though I don’t work in an office anymore, I still dread Mondays. I think I was born with this hatred for Mondays. I’ve tried to be positive on that wretched day of the week many times, but within 10 minutes, I’m done. I can’t get the coffee made fast enough and the kids are screaming that they’re hungry (such audacity!) and the dog is barking at a rock outside and all of it just leads me back to hating the start of the week and wanting to run away.
Nothing good ever happens on Mondays. Nothing. Any other day of the week, I can find something to look forward to, like coffee with my friend Heidi (Tuesdays), getting out of the house alone for an hour (Wednesday nights), watching the shows I DVR’d (Thursday nights) and then, it’s the weekend. (I just read that sentence; how pathetic is my life?) So can someone please give me a tip on how to at least tolerate Mondays? I mean, if I could sleep through the whole day I would, but I don’t think the kids would last more than 10 minutes without me (they’re so needy).
And nobody else seems to like Mondays either, so we’re just a bunch of cranky people roaming the planet trying to make it through the day without punching each other in the groin. And Mondays seem to last forever. It’s the longest day of the week. It’s a mystery to me. Maybe Scotland Yard should give up on that whole “Great Train Robbery” thing and work on why the hell Mondays last longer than any other day.
Every Monday I wake up hoping it will be different, that I won’t dread that day. I also hope the wrinkles on my face will be gone every time I look in the mirror, but that has yet to happen. When will I learn? I know, I should be thankful for my beautiful children and my dashing husband and my lovely home and I am, really. Tuesday through Sunday.
I don’t like Mondays either!!!! People seem to be just a little more annoying on that blasted day. I have been trying to tell myself to work on a more positive attitude for 2010…..so maybe we should try that together?? I could just follow Sydney’s lead…..she LOVES Mondays when she gets to go and see her Kindergarten teacher
I am a little worried about summer, but we shall see how it goes. Let’s start with lunch next week and have a mini session 
Happy weekend Jen!!!
