Monday's suck
Ok, so I know that everybody knows that Monday's suck, but sometimes it's usually bad. Like not getting any sleep the night before and then when you wake up, you find that your son has wet the bed and you've been sleeping in it for the two hours of sleep that you did get. Not to mention, you just put clean sheets on the bed before trying to sleep in it. But that was Sunday and this is Monday, so back to the point right? I think every weekend should be a three day weekend, so you don't have to work on Monday. Some how the sun seems brighter on Tuesday, maybe it's because you only have four days til Friday instead of five. Whatever the case, kids whine and fight with each other seven days a week and don't take the weekends off as they should. That's why they can put TV's in cars now, so you can actually drive around without listening to one whine that the other is touching them, the kids, (not TV's or cars). Oh, the wonders of technology! Which brings to mind my childhood, I would spend all day outside on the weekend when I was a kid, why don't kids do that now? Mine are too young to be going to friends houses just yet, but we have a nice backyard and we practically have to torture them to go outside and play in it. Probably because of the TV in the car. Why go outside when you can sit in air conditioned comfort and watch your favorite movie, while your parents take you to McDonald's for a happy meal?

Shopping with small children
Mood:  don't ask
Shopping with small children should be an Olympic sport. Clearly it takes endurance, strength, and the ability to think quickly on your feet. It helps if the store you're shopping at doesn't have toys, candy, or anything related to Nick Jr. or Disney characters. So basically, you can't go anywhere because now everything from paper towels to fruit snacks has some kind of popular character on it. But, getting back to the point . . . it is not for the faint of heart. It takes all of the planning and strategy of going into battle, because that's what it is. A battle to get in and out of the store without losing your mind or yelling at your kids in the middle of the store. You lose points for buying the expensive toys or the bulk size bag of candy and it is certain death if you have to leave the store without getting what you came for. There is however a bonus for making all the way to the car before giving the finger pointing, grounded for life speach and if you can do it without spit flying from your mouth or ripping your hair out then your reward is the bottle of wine waiting in the fridge when you get home.

Hold on it's going to be a bummpy ride!
Mood:  caffeinated
So here we go, I have to leave work right now, so it's going to be short. It's Friday and I'm off to the races. Let's hope the weekend is relaxing and not as stressful as the week was.
