Monday, Monday

*Sigh* It is Monday, and do you know what that means?  It means the start of yet another homeschool week, the end of another week at college, one day before MOPS, three days before my discussion answers are due for college, and it means that we stayed up far too late last night and no one is cooperative this morning!  I do not like Mondays, but it has not always been that way, I used to look forward to a Monday morning for it was the promise of new things to come that week.  However as an adult I have found that Monday brings nothing new any longer, it only brings the start of a predictable routine and generally much resistance from the rest of the family.  Perhaps one day I will be able to convince them that Monday is really Tuesday, thus skipping the Monday troubles altogether. 

For now however, Monday is predictable.  Today is no exception, the children are balking at every request and dawdling in their completion of just about everything except perhaps breakfast, I am tired from not enough sleep, and the littlest one is cranky for no other reason than it is Monday.  This Monday is the same as all the others, except that today we have clouds and chilly weather, which for Arizona is rare.   Today seems like a good day for doing a whole lot of nothing, but somethings must get done and so those things will be put on the list and everything else will wait. 

Birbitt thinks there should be no such day as Monday, can we make a petition to rename Monday?
