Monday Morning here and we have had our coffee and are listening to Miles Davis. So peaceful. My mind has had the opportunity to rejuvenate and my kitchen awaits.

Mondays for me signal how many days to go before the weekend gets here. They used to be full of torment for me because many of the jobs I have had through the years, were in the accounting field and working within the restrictions of corporate America. That is a cruel place to be sometimes, mentally, especially if you have creative talents that you have to press down.

Sunday nights used to feel like a ball and chain around my ankle. No more ... Thank God. :)

So very true, but in another level so rewarding especially when a lot of that work is for your children!

hello friend: the life of a woman is to be working all the time, whether at home or outside it, when you have a family is impossible to have time for yourself.
I have no children, only my kittens so I can not say much about it.
I can only say what I see women wearing a home forward as tireless fighters, which never can get sick or leave something for later.
Sadly that is not recognized and valued the work women do every day at home.
I hope the translator to be true to my words :)

hola amiga: la vida de una mujer es estar todo el tiempo trabajando, ya sea en la casa o fuera de la misma, cuando se tiene una familia es imposible disponer de tiempo para una misma.
yo no tengo hijos, solo mis gatitos asi que no puedo opinar mucho al respecto.
Solo puedo decir por lo que veo de las mujeres que llevan un hogar hacia adelante, como luchadoras incansables, que jamas pueden enfermarse o dejar algo para despues.
Es triste que no sea reconocido y valorizado el trabajo que las mujeres hacen a diario en el hogar.
Espero que el traductor sea fiel a mis palabras :)

I'm an anomaly, I guess. I don't get blue on Monday! I finally get a moment or two when the kids go back to school :)

It's Sunday and for most of us we need to fit in lots of things before the beginning of the week.

There are meals to plan, grocery shopping to do and general maintenance around our homes, in providing care for ourselves and those of our families.

The tug of Monday starts at differing times, sometimes as soon as we get up Sunday morning, or as late as when we put our heads down on our pillows Sunday night.

How do you fight off the Monday Blues and what sustains you throughout the week?

How do you balance what you do?
