Monday

Why is Monday always so hard? I am a stay-at-home mom. I home school and write. Yet, Monday is always rough. Many of the writers I know don’t really take the weekends off. I never have.

But anyway, today was definitely a Monday. Not just any Monday either, but the one just after we switched to daylight savings time. I drug myself out of bed this morning and found my toddler had eaten my “homework.” We are having a fence installed. I called around town to get quotes and wrote them all on a scrap of paper. Well, my son thought it looked tasty, so before breakfast he chewed it up. Then, my older son gave me the, “Is it a school day?” routine when I gave him his first assignment. Sometimes I think it would be easier to teach him seven days a week and not have to recondition him EVERY Monday. We also had to run errands, get haircuts, and take advantage of the beautiful weather. Then, I had to squeeze in time after dark for writing and housework. I am sure glad Monday only comes once a week.
