30 Days of Thankfulness Day 15

Today I am thankful for Mondays. I used to hate Mondays and dread them. I see people on Facebook every Monday morning stressed and complaining. But, now that I'm a stay-at-home-mom, I love Mondays! Our weekends are usually pretty busy and Sundays always start earlier than other days, so Monday is the day to recover. It's always nice to have Monday to recharge and (usually) catch up on cleaning, laundry and down time. Mondays are usually very mellow and pleasant. A lot of Mondays Kalaya and I stay in our pjs until the afternoon and just veg. I realize that when we have a second child, life will not be so simple. I also did not have such a simple time in Kalaya's first year. And, when she's teething or sick, I still have tough days. But, so far 18 months is a very pleasant age. She's old enough to entertain herself and play for long periods of time, but still needs a mommy enough that I feel special. I probably just jinxed it, but oh well. Today and next Monday are a bit more crazy, because I'm packing boxes and cleaning, but still nice and calm. Sorry Garfield, I like Mondays!!
