Manic Mondays???

Not anymore! I used to love Mondays when I was in school. (I was one of those goofy types who actually loved back-to-school time, too) Mondays were always a fresh start. It didn't matter how awful last week was, Monday was a chance to start over. Clean slate.

When I left school, Mondays became my worst enemy. They marked the start of a long work week and the end of a fun weekend. Work was never as enjoyable as school for me. I never woke up on time on Mondays. Never had a weekly plan. Never could focus on anything but how far away Friday afternoon was.

Then I became a Mommy. Now Mondays are my clean slate-day again. I start the week by getting my house in order & planning my week. I use the early morning hours to plan what we need to accomplish as a family. Mondays allow me to put whatever failed last week behind me & start fresh.

The only thing missing now is my back-to-school plaid jumper & a new backpack!
