I had a doozy of a weekend (and Monday morning if you count being dressed for the rain while the sun beats down on me as I wait for the train which is running ridiculously  late).

– I’m glad it’s Monday because it means the cleaning lady comes 🙂
On crazy busy weekends I’m not the most homemakerish  (when am I ever) Aidan takes advantage of me being distracted by work by being extra messy. This is why the floor of his room looks like the war scene in the lego  movie. The rest of the house is not far behind, he particularly loves to fill his play shopping trolley with various items in our house and drive them around. I stumped my toe on a tea canister this morning – need I say more.
We have been doing very well with the clean up after play thing but on crazy busy weekends the house usually takes the brunt of the attack.

– I’m glad it’s Monday because all doctors and things are open.
It looks like Rob is allergic to bees, here we were faffing over Aidan who got his first sting when Rob started breaking out… He went to emergency room and meds meant he couldn’t keep his eyes open for most of the weekend. Last night we thought he was finally better but during the night he became so swollen he is practically unrecognisable…so back to the Dr and thankfully this time without the weekend pay in.
Meanwhile we are running a bee holiday resort in our jacaranda tree and Aidan has been stung three times in two days … so not good.

– I’m glad it’s Monday because I finished an order list which looked impossible and now I get to give it over to customers 🙂 I had a lot to get done so I was expecting a bumper weekend. I didn’t expect to have emergency dental work done and then lose a whole day from feeling sick and drowzy due to to the injection though (my body never reacts well to that). I didn’t account for the heat getting to Aidan and him wanting mommy the whole time. Then when I pull an all nighter I am woken up by a husband who needed to be rushed to the hospital…So I was very glad (pleasantly surprised even) to see packages ready for delivery this morning.

-I’m glad it’s Monday because Aidan goes to school and can burn off some energy. He was so hyper this weekend I can’t even explain it…I can say that at some point someone came to the house looking for me. He heard his dad say I was in the shower so Aidan thought he would be nice and open the bathroom door to prove to them “mommy is in the shower” not sure who was more embarrased me or them!  (Me it was me).
At some point I heard him use the full phrase OMG (repeating after TV in the next room) and when I told him it was not nice to say he asked if it was a bad word like Sh!t. I HAVE NO WORDS. Oh he was playing with Caleb when I noticed unhappiness. I asked him why Caleb was crying and reminded him to be gentle he then responded that he was gentle and only hit Caleb softly as they were playing boxing. NO WORDS

– I’m glad it’s Monday as I can restart the healthy eating thing; because somewhere between sewing my butt off (if only that was literal) running after a hyper kid who has too many questions (who is Santa’s family and why Christmas trees not Christmas flowers) and looking after a stubborn – I can do everything despite being too swollen to bend a finger – husband, I decides junk food was a good breakfast option and things went downhill from there.

– I’m glad it’s Monday because it means we have made it through a busy weekend unscathed.
HAVE A GOOD MONDAY ALL 🙂 do share your favourite part of starting a new week
