Monday Blues

What a day, I remember when I dreaded Mondays because it meant the beginning of a new work week, trying to figure out what I was going to wear into the office and just the thought that I had to do this same routine 4 more times consecutively was enough to just upset and depress me. Nowadays I cherish Mondays because that means my 2 older kids go to preschool and I get to enjoy a cup of coffe, listen to the morning news and wash, tone and moisturize my face before it's even 12 noon. I'm sure many of you have been in my shoes, well those of you who work outside of the home maybe don't love Mondays as much but I know that work at home and stay at home moms can definitely empathize. It's not that we love our kids any less but we need our time to just do adult things even as simple as enjoying a nice cup of coffee. I'm not a big TV person, but nowadays I find myself leaving it on past GMA just so the house won't seem as quiet, speaking of which I caught a part of Martha Stewart and I must admit although I'm not a big fan of the lady, she's got some great guests that have really quick and simple dinner meals.
I started today saying I would exercise, I would eat better, I would approach things differently, but I did none that I said I would. Instead I savored my time, indulged and relaxed. Oh well, the day's over, and although the kids behaved once they came home, within 2 minutes of picking them the first meltdown broke out. Oh well if you can't fight them...join them and so I did!
