Mondays need to be removed from the calendar.

I think for one year they should swap the Mondays and Fridays. Fridays should be the start of your week and Mondays the end. I think more than anything the word has embedded itself in our vocabulary as a term which means...suffering through 5 days of sheer H-E double hockey stick. If they were only to switch the words for a while maybe the word would lose some of its bad reputation.

Anyway... My Monday started out very typical. Paul kisses me goodbye as I, still with my eyes closed, half sit up in bed and say our normal byes and I love yous; see you tonight when we get home and continue with the yard work (a 2 month process so far - if it grows back God wants it that way let him do his job, dang weeds) and then come in and lay down, him on the couch me on the chair in utter exhaustion and await an hour that deems appropriate to actually go to bed. See I think we wait around to go to bed because we do not want to admit that we are getting older and need the sleep. "Look at me I can stay up until midnight" - I will just need a nap sometime tomorrow, a coffee, and 2 mountain dews that's all. After Paul leaves in the morning I go back to bed until my alarm rings usually 15-25 min. later and then I spend 2 minutes trying to talk myself out of getting out of bed just to get my phone to call in with a headache. "Get up you need the money, soon mom and dad will be giving you ALL of your bills, since your getting married and it is not appropriate for a married woman to have her parents still paying her car insurance, cell bill, and school loans." - but they can do it as long as they like I don't want them to lose all there responsibilities, that is when roles start reversing and children start looking out for and taking care of their parents - I am not ready for that!

And so I rise out of bed, do the usual routine, which only takes me 5-10 min. since I do not have to look like anyone important for my job and out the door I go by 7 am (oh I am not a morning person). I do not think I am completely awake until I actually get to work, which is a 30 min drive, you know what I think I am still half asleep and I am and hour and 1/2 into my day. I wonder when I will wake up. Maybe after my afternoon nap since I was up late telling myself "see I am still young I can stay up till the AM's, I am NOT getting older."

I think tonight I will pull an all nighter!!!
