Monday check in

How is your Monday going so far? Do you have anything to rant and/or rave about today?

Serious question: Do you ever feel like a two-day weekend is actually long enough? Do you get out of bed ready to tackle Monday mornings with a smile on your face?

    I called in pregnant to work today. I haven't done this before, and I got some serious comp time recently, so I don't feel too bad about it. I didn't sleep well last night. I was flopping around like a fish trying to get comfortable from about 2:00 to 5:00, and just managed to fall back asleep when my alarm went off. I had no trouble sleeping through the night and getting up at 5:00 on Saturday or Sunday, of course! So this morning I let myself stay in bed until almost 7:00, then got up and walked the dog and called in to work. I'd say that's a pretty good day so far.

    I kind of go back and forth on Mondays. I really like my job, but I'm just not feeling it right now. I think Mondays would be a whole lot better if I could work from home and just not have to deal with my coworkers and customers for one more day.

    How is your Monday going so far? Do you have anything to rant and/or rave about today?  So far so good!  just a little stuffy today.  I forgot to take my allergy medicine this morning... 

    Serious question: Do you ever feel like a two-day weekend is actually long enough? Do you get out of bed ready to tackle Monday mornings with a smile on your face? I'm pretty much always good to go on Monday morning.  I love my job and the people I work with.

    I feel pretty good, though I am starting to wake up really achy even with using my body pillow all night.  Nothing really to rant or rave about. 

    Today even though I don't have to work, I have a lot of random odds and ends I need to take care of, so I'm not digging the whole Monday thing.  I'm allowing myself to push them off til this afternoon, but overall I'm just not feeling it.

    I am excited for our kitchen to be (almost) done!  i am so tired today! Lots of trips to the bathroom last night! I want to go home and sleep. This Monday could be off to a better start.

    I think a three day weekend would be wonderful! 2 days just doesn't seem like enough! I do not get out of bed with a smile on my face.  I have a pretty cushy job and NO reason to complain, I am just really tired lately.

    How is your Monday going so far? Do you have anything to rant and/or rave about today?  Returned to the US from Paris on Saturday, took a car took a wedding in Maine, spent that night at my IL's in CT and finally got home Sunday evening.  I'm a bit exhausted at this point and the first thing my boss asked when he saw me was to inquire why I came into the office today when I should have worked from home/taken a comp day.  He just learned I'm pregnant last week while we were abroad, and now he is handling me with kid gloves. I guess I can't complain about that because it's better than the alternative, but it has its own  +/-.

    Serious question: Do you ever feel like a two-day weekend is actually long enough? Do you get out of bed ready to tackle Monday mornings with a smile on your face?  I'm not any amount of weekend would make me get out of bed ready to tackle the work day with a smile on my face - that motivation comes from the type of work I do or the project I am working on at the time.  Even after a 5 day weekend or a 2 week vacation, if I don't like what I am doing there isn't going to be a smile on my face when I wake up in the morning.

    How is your Monday going so far? Do you have anything to rant and/or rave about today?  Aside from the pregnancy insomnia last night, Monday isn't going too bad.  Have my Endo appointment in about an hour, so I am thinking that my answer might change after that.  

    Serious question: Do you ever feel like a two-day weekend is actually long enough? Do you get out of bed ready to tackle Monday mornings with a smile on your face?  It depends on what we did over the weekend.  If we had a restful weekend (like this weekend), I don't mind getting back to work on Monday.  I may not wake up with a smile on my face, but I am not normally too grouchy.
