Misty Monday

We've all heard that song "Manic Monday."  { come on, admit it.  You totally started humming - or singing it - to yourself }  If you didn't start singing it....here, please do - sing along...

There, now don't you feel better!

This is the start to something new.  That's what this blog represents.  We all hate Mondays, and if you don't hate Mondays, you're in the minority.  Quite frankly, you're weird.  In an attempt to get away from "a case of the M-un-days" or anything resembling a "Manic Monday" I decided to create "Misty Mondays"!  Misty Mondays will now be a place to list the negatives about Mondays - or life in general - and then find follow with a list of positives.  I'm going to challenge myself to see through the mist of exhaustion from a weekend cut to short and experience the beginning to a new week, a week full of life yet to be lived and beauty yet to be discovered.

Here's my Misty Monday:

The Mist:

- The alarm clock didn't have a chance to go off this morning.  I was awake, against my will, by my body (it's achiness), my daughter (having a private dance party in my womb), my husband (up early to go to the gym....Kudos for his dedication), and my stomach (really?  Must you growl?  I had a big dinner, I swear.  I need sleep, not breakfast!)

- Tired.  So very tired.  Can't drink coffee?!? (*le sigh*  3 more months, then I can drink that heaven sent coffee again!  *day dreams about vanilla flavored coffee creamer pouring into a steaming cup of joe*)

- To do list.  Write, list, add to list, add more to list, answer phone call, add more to list (so much for blogging from work!).

- Checkbook.  Must track down invoices.  No one answers the phones.  Emails are not returned.  It's Monday.

Through the Mist:

- Early bird gets the worm, right!?  Well, I'm not into worms - gross! But I did take time to enjoy my single waffle, and hubby made it home from the gym in time to remind me that I'm taking a full unpaid day off of work to go to the beach, therefore, I should go into work early (since I was ready) to make up some time.  It's only 15 minutes early, but it adds up.  

- A long To-do-list = lunch time already?  Score!  My turkey and cheese sandwich was delicious.  Thank you, Lunch break for allowing me {{finally}} surf thebump and other favorite sites.

-  5:00 PM came around quick.  Time to clock out!!!  Woohoo.  That To-do-list paid off twice today!  First lunch, then home time.  Thank you, co-workers and owners for giving me more work than I originally planned for.

- Dinner - I had enough energy to cook dinner!? SAY WHAT???  Dinner was delicious, and even better, I was able to eat most of my chicken.  Baby Girl isn't a huge fan of meat.  Tonight was a success!

- The best part about Mondays:  they come to an end.  What does Tuesday bring???  The Hunger Games!!! So excited.

Happy Monday - it's almost Tuesday!
