I used to hate Mondays. I used to dread going to bed on Sunday night because Monday came next. A long, tedious, week of work lay ahead of me.
Well now I love Mondays! Aside from the days that James is home, Monday is my favorite day of the week! This is because Monday is my cleaning day and I am always so productive. After a weekend of doing no housework, the house is usually starting to get on my nerves, so I pop the iPod into the speakers and tidy, vacuum, mop, dust, and clean the bathrooms and the kitchen.
In addition, today I did two loads of laundry, ironed James' work shirts, and went to the library. It is a gorgeous day and Casper has been especially good today. My house smells like the fall candle that I have burning, and I have baked tortellini and acorn squash in the oven.
I love that satisfied feeling when you know you've done a good job, and that other great feeling when everything is clean. And lest anybody think too much of my accomplishments, I still have a pile of papers to file, a pile of dirty clothes on the floor, and my fridge is getting awfully empty. That will be tomorrow.
It's such a nice feeling to not dread the beginning of the week!
Funny!! Sunday is our big "chore" day because it's easier to get things done when Derek is here to help. Then on Mondays I do the "easy" chores like grocery shopping and laundry. If Mona and I are lucky we squeeze a playdate in there too. Today however, we skipped grocery shopping and did playdate instead. Naughty, I know, but so much more fun!!
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm a stay-at-home-mom I love Monday's too :) It's our day to relax, have fun, get some shopping done and other stuff around the house. It's nice to know I don't have to leave the house if I don't want too.
