Why Do We Hate Mondays soo Much?


Don't get my wrong I get it
I don't care for Monday for the most part either

WHY?

1 - I don't like going to work - love my job - hate going to work
2 - I seem less focused on Mondays
3 - Mistakes happen more because of #2

So why not find reasons to like Mondays?

1 - I am breathing, I could never experience a Monday again.
2 - I am healthy not sick in bed
3 - I do get to work - whether I want to or not I am blessed with a job I do like
4 - I have the weekend to look forward to
5 - I just enjoyed a weekend
6 - There is always coffee


So I vow to stop complaining about Mondays.
I mostly appreciate life anyway so why not find a new ways to appreciate it.
Why do you love Mondays?

I Heart Sundays

Ok first let me remind you
I did an interview on Messy Bessie with a giveaway
If you want in time is running out
here is the piece that is being given away
So you if you want your chance to wear this cute one of a kind piece
Go leave a comment on the interview
Now moving on ..
I do love my Sundays.
I know it means my weekend is winding down & tomorrow takes me back to work
I don't hate my job at all
I actually like it
I just would love being home all the time working on what I really love
But Sundays are nice.
I enjoy the slow pace of it
The being around my people
It is just peaceful
I haven't shared some of my new pieces on here lately so I will leave you with some eye-candy
These will be finished up today
I really love the bottom piece .. my favorite at the moment.
This was made for an old high school friend of mine.
This is a gift for her sister for Christmas.
I love the huge statement with the simple look.
This is for another dear high school friend of mine.
She was one of my closest friend through my high school years
Her honey just joined the military & they are having to spend time apart
I love the way it turned out
wasn't sure I would but I do.

Have peaceful Sunday!

Things I Learned This Week - 11/19/2010

I am always trying to think of new things to blog about
It shouldn't be that hard really
My mind goes non-stop
I have a hard time shutting it off at night even.
But when I sit down to blog it goes blank.

So I decided to start doing some standard weekly post.
For Fridays I am going to reflect on what I learned that week.

I work with an older lady that I just adore
She is always saying she still works because her grandmother always told her:
If you aren't learning your dying.

What a great saying to live by.
I don't know a single person that knows everything
I know I am not an idiot but far from knowing it all
I learn something new almost daily
Not always necessary knowledge but I learn.

So this week what did I learn?

I learned that getting a shot for dental work can actually be done with NO pain.

I learned that I still hate the cold.

I learned that no matter how hard you try to make someone smile sometimes they just won't.

... boy I came up with the idea to do this later in the week & didn't take notes ...
So more next week!

Thursday's Thoughts ...

I am definitely a positive thinker.
I refuse to use the word fail or failure.
I don't see myself as failing at anything
I read this quote yesterday & it says it perfect
Failure isn't falling it is refusing to get up
I believed for a very long time I was a failure in a lot of things
If I wasn't exceeding my expectations right away
I must have been failing.

WRONG

Failure only happens if you let it happen it
Otherwise it is a learning experience
A stepping stone to bigger & better things
The result of your training for what it in your path ahead

So stop using that nasty word
And start using positive words
Positive thinking
SUCCESS
SCORE
WIN

Parenting 101

Somehow I made it home without this booklet?
But even had I received this booklet I am not sure how such booklet would help.
Having 5 children I can assure you not one thing  works for all.
So with each departure from the hospital I should have received a new version.

Our kids are amazing little creatures.


They come to us without any expectations
It is up to us as parents to teach them how to expect certain things
We bring these sweet little armful of joys home with us
Then it hits you -
Oh my - they shit & it really stinks
AND
it is my job to clean that mess up


My kids are now older.
I have completed my days of poopy duty.
Now it is figuring out how to continue being their parent
and not encourage those things that we really think is very funny
BUT
know they really shouldn't do.


I mean really that is funny right?
Oh wait - no police officer I had no idea he was doing that!
He said I told him to?
Shit!
No really I told him he would get in trouble
then I snickered and said-
But it is funny!

Not only do we as parents have to read their minds & see with that so called eye we have in the back of our heads
We have to figure out how to explain why your a boy & she is a girl.
Oh & word to the wise-
If you are going to teach your son to pee while standing & decide taking outdoors so he won't sprinkle everywhere
EXPECT
that is what he will do for the rest of his life.
THIS is why men pee off the back porch.
Not because they are just a bunch of hillbillies-
But because us mothers didn't want to clean the sprinkle up everyday.

Then after you teach them why boys are boys & girls are girls-
They want to know more


Sure its all gross at first
Then one day you are fetching your daughter from her boyfriends house.
Or your other daughter is asking you what an orgasm is-
ONLY after she already asked some random teacher at school because her older brother found this to be a good idea & encouraged her to ask!

Where do you go from there?
Oh yea thats right -
then you have grandbabies!

Tee hee - don't tell my kids - but I shall encourage my grandkids to give their parents HELL!
