Somebody's got a case of the Mondays

I heard once that the most common day/time of the week for people to have heart attacks was monday morning...because most people would rather die than go back to work after the weekend. I don't know if that's true, but lots of people hate Mondays. I am not one of those people. Monday might be my favorite day of the week. There are several reasons why I like it. It is definitely my most productive day...I work the hardest and feel the most accomplished. It is cleaning day... I do laundry, and try to clean every room in the house. I got the idea of a "cleaning day" from one of my old college roomies (Marlyce). She blogged about her cleaning day once a few years ago and I thought it sounded good...and monday seemed like a good day for it since our house usually gets the messiest over the weekend. I must admit, I don't clean it perfectly every week, but I try...and it feels so nice to actually have most of your house clean at one time...even if it only stays clean for a couple of hours. Then I don't get so stressed out about how trashed the house gets sometimes since I know it will all get cleaned again on Monday. This also makes my weekend more enjoyable, since I don't worry about doing chores on saturday when I would rather be playing! Monday is also the day I regroup after the weekend...I recommit to all my goals (to-do lists, exercise, eat better or whatever) and basically start over. And it certainly doesn't hurt that monday night is also soup night...so dinner is really easy to plan/prepare. The list could go on, but I've got some laundry to fold! So here's to the coolest day of the week...Happy Monday!
