Monday Blues

I hate Mondays. I think it has something to do with a week of work ahead of me. With 6 kids the homework is overwhelming and then there are all the places to be, appointments to keep, etc. It makes me tired to look at the calendar for the week. So, who knows why but here I am on a Monday morning feeling particularly ornery. I think I need a change of attitude. Surely, Monday can't be as bad as I have made it out to be. Ok, so on that thought I am going to list good things about Monday.

1. The kids are gone so I can get the house picked back up after the weekend.
2. I didn't get sick so I could go to the gym this morning.
(I am stretching it, this is harder than I thought)
3. Ah, the house is quiet for a moment (see number 1)
4. New week new opportunity for growth?
5. ?

Alright, I think I am done for now. On to the next thought.

Have you noticed that Drew Carey is such a nerd? The morning news just ended as I am sitting here writing and The Price is Right show just came on. So, Drew Carey is the new host and I can't believe he ever got to star status. Bob Barker at least had a presence of refinement about him. And, I can't believe with my memory that I just pulled Bob Barker's name out of my head. Shocker! I do need to clarify though that I don't watch The Price is Right. Boring!

So, I am going to start my day now and my goal for today is to work on being positive. Wish me luck.

Cute header! I agree that I have a love/hate relationship with Mondays! I hate that my house is a disaster after the weekend, but I love getting it clean and back in order! And the semi quiet part- someday!!!

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
