The Monday-est Monday EVER
by Kym on February 22, 2010
Oh. My.
Teething baby at 6am.
First post-baby period started.
Voice just a painful froggy remnant of its former self.
Nasty stuffed up sinuses.
Girls up at 6:30am.
A sick Emma staying home from school.
New plotlines and characters bouncing around in my head demanding to be written.
Too many demands.
HOWEVER…
Making pancakes for Becca as a promised reward for using the potty right before bed (woot!).
Claira has been marginally happy.
Weight is down again to 204.6 despite evening snacks last night and despite first day of period.
Girls have not fought once. Err…yet.
Haven’t burned any pancakes. Err…also “yet”.
Yes indeedy. Monday can be fought with a few good thoughts and an appreciation of the absurd. I want to hug my sense of humour this morning, because I think it has saved me from skirting the edges of despair and possibly, just possibly, plunging in.
Happy Monday!

So I’ve been wondering (that’s code for “nosy”) if you’ve ever tried Yoga. I can’t do it in public, you know, because of the insane giggling, but it has helped me drop pounds. Just a thought.
Go, Monday! (I brought Kid 3 home this morning from the hospital. Sigh. Happy Monday!)

Congratulations on not plunging. I’m so happy for you!

Happy Monday to you! And yay for the weight loss!

OH, can I just tell you how many of those same things I’m experiencing today?
First PP Period, check.
Sick kid home from school, check.
Teething baby, check. (So EARLY!)
Kids up too early, check.
However. I got back on the treadmill this morning. Finally!

I hate days like that! But you are ever so strong! That sense of humor will get you through much.

Shoot. I got my first PP period a few weeks ago. Rude.
Happy Monday! Mondays are hard and wonderful, aren’t they?

Hug that sense of humor. Great idea! All those cute baby moments, like hugs and tickles and kisses and chubby cheeks, comes with a price I guess.

Thank goodness Monday is only once a week.
Wait, I don’t know if that makes me feel better.

How did I miss this?
And that is an accomplishment, losing despite starting a period. I always retain about 3-4 lbs when I get mine. Though who knows when that’s coming back!

Awwwww, I want to hug your sense of humour too. Glad it wasn’t such a ‘Monday’ Monday.

Your perspective is warming to me :) !!
