Monday, Monday it wasn’t all I hoped it would be.. Okay I’m totally exaggerating, but it totally sucked getting up earlier than the past two weeks. Moreover, not only did it suck for me, but it really sucked waking up the boys. After all, outside of Sunday morning for the Mayor, they haven’t seen a 6:00 hour wake up call for weeks. It was everything I expected to be and more – i.e. it was brutal for everyone.
I’m not a morning person, which is why my 5:30 am fitness class aspirations are such a big commitment. This morning I hit the snooze at least three times before finally rolling out of my nice, warm bed to wake up the kids. They fought the wake up, but acquiesced only to fall asleep again the couch. Consequently, you can imagine the forlorn looks on their faces when I woke them up again.
Fortunately, both the boys and myself made it to the bus top/work despite the general awfulness that can accompany an early morning especially a Monday morning. Unfortunately, with the return to normalcy and kids in school, we also enjoyed (not so much) a return to normal South Florida winter traffic. I would just like to say F you to the snow bird driving 50 in the left lane. You’re a dick.
Now that I got that out, boy oh boy do I feel better, work was great. The team and I had a productive day and no tears were shed. Put one in the win column for me! I’m not letting Monday (or an annoying snow bird) get in my way! After work I headed to spin class. I promised my podiatrist I’d stay in the saddle. Nevertheless, I think some promises are meant to be broken. I didn’t go into 3rd and I had to lower my resistance in 2nd, but I pushed it to my limit. If I felt any pain at all, I went back into the saddle. I left the studio with wet hair, super sweaty and having burnt 387 calories. Another notch in the win column for me!
After spin, I was able to wrap up yet another productive shopping spree on Amazon. Thanks to Amazon Prime all my goodies, hand warmers included, should arrive before we are northward bound. #Winning. As you can see, my Monday wasn’t too bad. In fact, it was pretty fantastic. Honestly, if that alarm had gone off just a little later, it would have been darn near perfect!
Tonight’s song is in honor of everyone’s least favorite day of the week. As you reminisce about the Monday that was enjoy The Mama & the Papas “Monday, Monday.”
I’m just impressed that you EVER wake up at 5:30 to exercise!! That is blooming impressive!
At least now the hardest Monday of the year is done. It can only get better!
