Monday blues?

Do housewives have Monday blues? When I was working, donkey years ago, I did have the sad kinda feeling when Monday arrived. Actually I had that when I was in school too. That kind of depressed feeling when you woke up in the morning with that annoying sound (the alarm of course!) and realizing "dang it! It's Monday! Where did the weekend go?". Now, since I don't go to work, do I have Monday blues? No, I don't!!..Haha..the perk of being a housewife, I guess. Yes, I still have to wake up early and wake the kids up and make sure they get ready on time, but that is not a problem. In fact I know that some moms really look forward to Monday because that means the kids (and the husband) are out of the house which equals to some peace and quiet after the maddening weekend! Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy weekends with my family but hey! who wouldn't want some me time after the "have you done your homework for the weekend? Weekend doesn't mean you can watch tv all day! Can you please go and take your bath already? and so on and so forth." After a long school holiday, you really can't wait for school to open but after the havoc of getting ready for first day of the new school year (making sure the kids are getting up early after two months of sleeping in is no easy task, let me tell you that!) and after the kids have been safely ferried to school and you came back to an empty house, some degree of "Monday blues" will kick in. You could almost hear their voices saying "I am bored or I am hungry (ten minutes after having lunch) or Mommy, Abang is bothering me and of course Abang was just sitting there watching tv. And you can't wait to pick them up from school and hear their stories. It would be good to let them know that you missed them. I told me kids that recently after the first day of school and it was nice to hear them say that they missed me too. But of course they just had to spoil the moment by adding "We wish school holidays are longer!". What? You had two months!!! Go to school already!!!
