Tell Me Why We Don't Like Mondays

Like most people, I dread Monday. I would like to spend more time at home, with my family and bond some more. When it's time to spend some me-time, I'll realize only a few hours are left so I'd rather spend them with my daughter. Just being together, out or at home. I just like to do things which are not work-related and things I am not able to do on weekdays like cook, redecorate the house, whatever that comes to mind. Or sometimes, I'm too exhausted with weekend activities that I'd rather take a rest. It's like the weekend just flew by. It's Monday already.

But we can't get away from Monday. It wil always be there. I have come face-to-face with Monday. Face what you dread and it will go away, the dread I mean. 

I thought of just facing Monday head-on. I prepare for it. It's the first thing I do on Sunday after church or on a Saturday if I know my family will be out on Sunday. 

I prepare the clothes that I wear. I prepare the food I'll take with me. If I know I have a meeting on Monday, I take care of what I will be needing on Friday, if any. Just let the hours pass on Sunday and hey, it's Monday. 

Preparing helped me a lot. Monday is still not a favorite but at least I don't drag myself early Monday morning like I used to while I am preparing everything. I got Monday covered and the basics are taken cared of. I can rest my mind and just savor the rest of my weekend.
