It has been over a year since I worked out in the 'real world', but I still remember Mondays. Especially those Mondays after a nice long weekend. I know some people had today off since New Years day was on Sunday and your Monday will still come... tomorrow. Oh I remember how hard it was to get up those mornings and force myself to get ready and go to work. Then the day just seemed to drag on and on. Of course Monday is always the day that most everything seems to go wrong. It seems that everything just piles up over the weekend and waits for you to start your work day off and then it all falls on your lap. I don't miss 'real world' Mondays.
Mondays are now just any other day for me. I wake up to kiss my sweet husband goodbye as he leaves for work. Then I get to crawl back into my nice warm bed and sleep another hour and a half. I try to be up and about the house by 7:30 so I can get a little time in either cleaning or catching up on computer work before my sweet little one wakes up at 8:30. The funny thing about it is I actually wake up earlier now that I stay home than I did when I had to go to an office to work. I suppose it is that feeling of dread that kept me in bed all those years when I should have been getting ready for work. You know that feeling, I'm sure. It may not be for your job, you might actually love your job! But there is almost always something that we dread facing. Then it was going to work, now it is the pile of dishes in the sink. I really did enjoy working for the most part and I had a wonderful co-worker who I am happy to call my friend (and 2nd mother), but I always felt like something was missing. I don't have that feeling anymore. I feel like I am where I was meant to be and it is wonderful.
I hope your Monday was stress-free and relaxing!
