Why I like Mondays

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!
