I despise Monday. This Monday at least. I’m not really a fan of any Monday’s though.
-This morning, I woke up at 3am with horrible nightmares. The kind that scare me so bad, it then takes me two hours to fall back asleep. Then my son woke me up an hour later.
-I hate that my boss has this one thing that I managed to forget to do, so now I’m on her shit list. It’s not even like it’s a real thing. It doesn’t matter. It has nothing to do with the job. It’s her green M&M. You guys know that story right? The rock star who wrote into their contract that they wanted a bowl of M&M’s with all the green ones removed. It wasn’t like they cared about the green M&M, it was just a way to see how well one read the contract. It’s dumb. I am a great employee. I’m fast and efficient…but I don’t have time for her stupid green M&M.
-I hated leaving my son at daycare this morning. We only had two days together. They’ve been gone for two weeks. He was a clingy mess all weekend. I know he was fine the second I left. I know it because he is him and because I called to make sure. But leaving a screaming toddler is not how I wanted to start my morning.
-I hated leaving my girls at camp this morning. One clingy, the other quietly crying. It broke my dam heart.
-I feel like a moron. I’ve forgotten my allergy meds for two days. I itch so bad, I can barely stand it. My hands are huge and and feet itch. I just want to scratch my dam skin off.
-I read a post this morning. A post that made me realize I was a pain in the ass at BH. I want to email the person and say I’m sorry, I didn’t think about how hard that weekend was for you. But I don’t know if then, I’m just even more annoying than I’m sure I was then.
-I hate that my dam sprinklers are on again. Sixth time in two days. They are set wrong. I don’t know how to set them right. That is obvious. I’ll need to call someone else to do it. Or beg my ex.
Mostly though? I just hate Monday.
Anyone else care to share? Make me feel a bit less alone.

I’m a joiner
I have a whole set of “ugh.. mondays” posts. I’m grumpy today because my kid’s 103.5 fever on Saturday was gone by Sunday morning, but now I’m sick as a dog.
It does help to write ‘em out though, doesn’t it? Hope the day improves….

@mosey, That always happens. Sheesh. Sorry friend. Feel better.
When I come to power, Mondays will be outlawed.
Babe? I will guarantee you – Nobody is thinking you were an ass. At all. I read the post you’re talking about, and trust me, I really don’t think you need worry.

This morning, Bob wanted his dad to stay home. He told Jeff, “You don’t have to work anymore. We just won’t spend any money.”
Mondays can be rough.

@Lisa Rae @ Smacksy, Oh he is so cute. Sigh. If only it were that simple.
i’m glad you posted the ‘monday hate post’ … can’t relate to all of it, but it DOES feel good to know that I’m not the only one hatin’ on the first day of a l-o-n-g week.
My monday blech? Having kids that really got spoiled this summer with being still in pj’s at 3:00 in the afternoon and sleeping until whenever they felt like waking up. Starting school has been rough — and my schedule (that I wanted SOOOO badly to have back with the return of school and my commitments) just has me WORN out.
Lest I hijack, I’ll shuddup now …. Hope your Tuesday is better!

@naomi, Oh yeah. The school schedule is so hard to get back into.
We will have trouble next week, I’m sure of it. Even thought they’ve been going to camp…I’ve been taking them later.
I too hate Mondays. Especially those that start with me realizing at midnight that I have an 8 am conference call. Or the one where I have to drop my kid off for 5 days with family because we’re all out of daycare options (and money) by the last week of the summer and the next time I see him will be the weekend before he starts school. THANK GAWD there was a cute little guinea pig in Bop’s class this morning because I FINALLY got a break from the screaming, clinging drop offs that are the norm for us. I don’t know what post you were talking about but I saw you at BH and I didn’t find my ass to be in pain at all.

@EmmieJ, I so get this. I sent mine to my mom for two weeks…and yeah, if not? I couldn’t have afforded that two weeks of day camp.
My kids did have a blast though. I know D does too.
I am so glad your ass wasn’t in pain. lol.
I hate THIS monday at least.
I am sorry about the crying kiddos. That is SOOOO hard.
I hate this day so much in fact, I may just actually post something.
I love you.
NO GO GET SOME ZYRTEK.

I hate Mondays. So much that I actually get into a funk come around 6pm on Sunday when I know it’s creeping up on me, AGAIN. I lie, maybe the funk starts around 4pm. Either way, I want it wiped from the calendar.

Ugh. So sorry to hear your Monday was so bad. The boss thing? Been there, totally hear you. It’s a power trip thing. It sucks. I truly hope your Tuesday is much better. Remember to take your allergy meds girl, at least that is something you can control. Maybe put them right next to your alarm clock along with a glass of water? Get it out of the way first thing in the morning. My allergies have been especially bad this summer. Itchy eyes, rashes that come and go. I think having a dog who finds it necessary to share my pillow with me every night doesn’t help matters.
As for being a “pain in the ass” at BH? I’m sure ‘Avasmommy’ is absolutely right, and as she guaranteed, no one is thinking that of you. My guess is that this is you being too hard on yourself again. Second guessing yourself. I bet this is one worry you don’t need to have hon.
Hugs and wishes for a week that goes better and better. For you and the kidlets.
Oh you definitely sounded like you had a doozy of a day. I hope it got better!
Mondays for me are pretty much like every other day – basically like Groundhogs day with NO routine.
