Happy National Thank God it’s Monday Day!
Today is National Thank God it’s Monday Day, which is my kind of day, because I love Mondays! I am unapologetically THAT girl! So annoying, right? I haven’t always been a Monday loving gal. I used to roll my eyes at people like me. Such a Pollyanna. What is she part of a Disney movie? Ugh! Stay away, I don’t want your sugar sweet syrupiness getting on me. Just bring me a cup of coffee, for the love of God, it’s MONDAY! When I worked for a large corporation and had to put on a navy, black or grey skirted suit with pantyhose and sensible heels, not flats, not stilettos, no peep-toes….I was not a fan of Mondays. When my husband traveled and I had to get the kids up, ready, drop them off at daycare all by myself, I was not a fan of Mondays. At all. I always liked my job and the people I worked with, and of course, I loved my kids, but Mondays were just part of the grind for me. And, I didn’t like it. Truth be told, I was a different person back then. I wasn’t always content with my life, I was more often than not in a negative frame of mind, looking at what I didn’t have rather than all the wonderful things I did have. So, hating Mondays was just part of who I was at that stage in my life. Geesh…that’s sad. Today is National Thank God it’s Monday Day, which is my kind of day, because I love Mondays!
