While most people love Fridays, I love Mondays. So, Sunday night after my children go to bed, I take a deep breath, and say a prayer that I have made it through yet another weekend. Hail Mary! Monday is just a few short hours away and my children will be back in school for the week! I don't want to sound like I don't love my children and that I count every second of the weekend (although on occasion I have) until Monday, but with four children trying to accomplish anything can be a task. Just when I sit down at my computer to work on my latest essay, someone is walking in my room, "I'm hungry" or "what are we doing today?" I just need a little time to myself, when my five and seven year old run in my room screaming at each other. "Please, I beg of them, I just need five minutes to concentrate." Not happening, my eleven year old wants to go spend her allowance at a store and my seven year old is "bored" even though that word is banned in our house, because if she is "bored" she can clean the garage. With all the running around we do during the week, I enjoy having time at home. I would think they would like that too? Not if I have things I need to get done. I seem to be on their radar if I pick up the phone or sit at the computer. Suddenly, I am needed. So now I know, there is always Monday, when my children have gone back to school and my toddler is sleeping, I can have time for myself. Hail Monday!
