I have an uber case of the "Mondays"..if any of you have seen the movie "Office Space" then this reference will bring some chuckles, if not, then you can certainly appreciate the obvious meaning behind this statement...
The "Mondays" for me actually start on Sunday evening. Every Sunday I whine about having to do the ironing and make the lunches for the following day. I even find myself having adult temper tantrums in protest to the inevitable week that is ahead. My husband just shakes his head and reminds me that I'm a "big girl now" and then has to tell me to go to bed because I will stay up late just to avoid waking up and having it be Monday.
Then Monday gets here. I find myself doing a great deal of self motivational speaking in the 45 minute car ride to work. I try to make sure that my I Pod is well stocked with upbeat songs that will energize me for the day ahead of me. I walk into my work place and boom...there it is - Monday.
As I continue the self-motivation I begin to either become super productive at work OR I become Queen Procrastinator. Today I was a Queen! Ha!
As the day unfolds I get some things accomplished, listen (pr pretend to listen) to my co-workers stories about the weekend, and frequently day dream about anywhere else but work. It's like the weekend never happened!
After lunch is when true misery settles in. Like clock work, I get a headache EVERY Monday at work. No matter what preventative actions I take, such as eating frequently, keeping hydrated, or even proactive Tylenol, I still find myself suffering from the pain in the frontal lobe of my brain! Ugg!
But alas, I survived another Monday and I know that my Tuesday will be better. Wednesdays are usually decent and Thrusdays are typically a good day at work. On Fridays the "Queen" may make a reapperance but overall Fridays are my fav. Then there is a brief moment of bliss called "the weekend" and poof...we are back to the same old scenario Sunday evening.
So if anyone has figured out a cure for the "Mondays" remidies are welcomed! Maybe Obama will fix this too after he pays off my mortgage and creates world peace. Oi vey!
