My Mondays

This was a busy summer at the Comer house. I am in recovery mode. I don't know about you all, but I don't feel like I really was able to enjoy summer. It was so crazy busy that I barely remember moving from May to July. I'm glad we don't start school till September, maybe we can grasp at a little peace before school starts. How are your Mondays? I personally, used to hate Mondays with a passion. Troy has all his meetings at church on Mondays. He has like four or five meetings on Monday and he doesn't get home till around 8:30 or 9. I hated it, because I was on burnt out mode by the time he got home and inevitably after a whole day by myself with kids I was ready to scream and some catastrophe had taken place. Not now though. Mind you, I have my weeks when Mondays are such a dread, but not very often. I came to realize that it's like anything else, I can get used to it and get over it, or make every one's life miserable. I choose to get over it. Now, I enjoy Mondays. I'm giving away some of my secrets here, but on Mondays, I don't clean other than laundry and feeding and playing with the kids till Mollie's afternoon nap. I enjoy the morning time and relax. This sets a great precedence for the week for me. I don't feel like it has to be spotless before lunch this way and I can recover from our crazy weekend schedules. I put more into Tuesdays and so on. I want it clean by Friday when Troy is off, so we can relax a little or do other small jobs and not focus on clutter. Today, I have fed the kids, made them clean their rooms, and made our lists for school supply shopping tonight. I'm gonna lay Mollie down and clean up, then tonight we're going to buy school supplies. Sounds exciting to me and the kids! This will be our first year to home school and we are all very excited. Crayons, pencils, and paper, have never been more exciting to buy. I can't wait to get started. I pray it's always this way, however I know we will have days when we don't want to do school, we all have those days, but we will plow through. God is good and has given us many blessings, this being one of them. God bless and happy Monday friends!
