Manic Mondays....lots of people hate Mondays. The start of a brand new week and everyone usually gets started late and then spends the rest of the day trying to catch up. When I worked I hated it, it meant the end of my weekend and the beginning of a dready work week, plus it meant that I would have limited time with my kids, I used to commute for 2 hours and would leave home at 6 and get home at 6-7. So now I work online and sometimes I dont even know what day it is ..lol So I guess me and Monday have become pals. I don't hate it anymore. What about you.. Love it or HATE it????

I used to love Monday's. Even when I worked outside of the home, I actually enjoyed going back to work and getting into a routine. Now that I work from home, I do enjoy Mondays when school is in session, however, now that it is summer I am cursed with the "what are we going to do today?" "I am bored"...and stuff like that. I guess the kids are at that age now where our lifes are hectic and turned upside down. I always seem to be taken one here and another one there. Gone are the days of the wonderful little routine that we used to have when they were younger. I am glad I get a bit of a break on the weekend when my hubby can help out and be the taxi cab driver for 2 days.

Yes I can totally sympathise with you. Thats exaclty how it goes here. Having teenagers is pretty time demanding. Same goes when they are little but it seems when they are older they need even more time and now even transportation to and from everywhere. Well I hope you got that car all gassed up and ready to go! :O)

Yeah, no kidding. I just filled up this morning and by the time I got through carting around the younger of my two kids I was down to almost 1/2 of a tank (and I get pretty good gas mileage). What really makes me crazy is the fighting that goes on. My son and daughter (the two youngest ones) fight all day long!!! Today I had a bit of reprieve as my husband was off work - the kids didn't fight and I practically didn't even know they were in the house today. Now tomorrow will be a different story. Oh well, at least I got one day of rest!!!

:O) You love you son very much and that is so sweet to hear. You are a great mom, I can tell. I feel more like some of the others posts , once they are all home its so hectic. They all spend the day saying they are bored and need something to keep them busy. So I become a taxi and that takes me away from my work. Seeing as we need this income it becomes highly stressful and I become cranky. We are all home today and are gonna develop a game plan that will keep them busy and out of my hair for at least a few hours. Enjoy your day with you little one and have fun. And Happy Monday :)

Not enough coffee on Monday - Not enough coffee on Monday for discussion
I like Mondays as long as I have enough coffee to carry me through, It is tough to start a whole week being sleepy. Must have lots of coffee!

Hello virtualmirage: I mostly still hate Mondays myself main reason is; Nothing ever goes right for me like today everything I touch seems to fall apart need fixing or just break on me; I've had a monday from Hell I swear; It's a long boring story but I got myself all worked up and just had a good old cry... a pity party for myself...and now that I've ranted and yelled and cried today I feel a tad bit better, but I still hate Monday's Always did for some reason;

Ohhh, it's okay...yes ranting helps. You can tell us about it if you like, help get it out of your system. Mine is not going all that great either. Seems I just cant get myself organized. So in the end I am doing a whole LOT of nothing!! Hopefully tomorrow is better. Somedays just are horrible so lets hope for a nice day tomorrow for both of us.

I like monday because it is the start of a new week. but this is the first day of the week, this is the most hectic day of the week after a weekend. This is the time people have the time to go on to the office.

The day of the week doesn't really matter to me anymore either, except when I need to conduct some sort of business and I realize that it's the weekend. It bugs me that I forgot and then have to wait two more days before I can attend to it.

monday is the start of the week and i can bet that most people do not like it but it will be ideal to get used to mondays because it dictates how the remaining days of the week will look like, sometimes i try to do my best on mondays while sometimes i just feel like dragging the whole week even from mondays

I also hate Monday. I have to get up early in Monday, and have to go to classes, do a lot of homework. However, for me, now, I do not hate Monday that much, because we also have classes in Saturday and Sunday, so every day is the same to me. And the classes a day is not so much, so I do not feel so busy every day.

Well, Im indifferent to Monday. Sometimes I hate them depending on what is scheduled but other times Im alright with it. Monday is the start of anothe work week. When I feel tired when I wake up on Monday mornings I just tell myself, the sooner I get out of bed,get to work and start my day, the sooner I will be home again.

i definitely hate monday...i always got inflicted with Monday sickness wherein i almost drag myself out of the bed to go to work.you are right, if you really love the job you're doing, monday will not be a big deal of a day anymore. you won't even notice the days go by.
