It's Monday and horray is not usually a word you hear about Monday's, but I will say it. Horray!
When I was younger my favorite days of the week were Saturday and Friday. I hated Sunday because you couldn't do anything and Monday you had to go back to school. The rest of the week was all right, but Saturday you had all day (not including chores) to play with friends, and Friday's usually meant no homework.
These days my mind is changed 100%. I LOVE Monday's! For some reason Monday's seem to be my most energetic and productive days. I feel like I accomplish so much. It's the start of my time to get things back into order after the weekend. I also generally enjoy Sunday's now too because it is my day to reconnect with family and the Lord. When Sunday is over I always feel that it just wasn't quite long enough. I have to admit Sunday's when Kent isn't around to turn on the TV are NEVER long enough. I love Kent, but he and I really differ on Sunday attitudes. On Sunday's I feel like I have a one-year-old and a ten-year-old. Kent really struggles with Sunday's if he doesn't take a five or six hour nap he gets VERY bored. So I have finally come up with a comprimise. Kent can watch football on Sunday's if it is not all day long (excluding church) and the volume is turned down so I don't have to listen to it. I think until February we may be able to live in the same house on Sunday's peacefully!
So back to my change in feelings about the days of the week. The funny change is that now a days I hate Saturday's. For me Saturday is only an extention of my week where everyone else gets to have fun with their husbands at home. Saturday is the one day when my life is the same but no one else's is. This is all due to the fact that we need Kent to work Saturday's to help store up the money that will help us through Christmas and the winter months when he can't make overtime. Aside from that often times at this time of year Kent's work needs him on Saturday's because they have jobs that need to be done on Saturday's.
Friday's are still all right if we have money to go out on a much needed date, but I have to say that sometimes Friday's I am just hanging on by my fingernails! So today I am going to go and make some Banana bread and use the Strawberries I have to make more Strawberry freezer jam. Yeah for Monday's!
P.S. Braxton is taking a nap today too and that rocks!

Amen to everything that you said. I too feel like Mondays are so productive, probably because the weekend is spent trashing the house and so Monday there seems to be so much more to clean. I've often wonderered why that is and I figured out that Phil is home and so I don't clean as much. I also know what you are saying about Saturdays...the days where you can't call your friends because all of their husbands are home but yours isn't. I'm in the same boat. If it isn't work, it's school. Does it ever end? Becca Walker
