Seven Reasons I Know It’s Monday:
1. I had to scream at Nathan to get him to leave for school this morning. And by “had to”, I mean, had to.
2. I am out of coffee, and Boca Java can’t get me another shipment until the end of the week. Which means I will have to drink (shudder) coffee that is not Boca Java. I am a spoiled brat.
3. I have 837 emails in my Outlook inbox. I’m not kidding. Eight Hundred Thirty Seven opened emails that I haven’t deleted or moved to other folders for whatever reason. I am attempting to remedy that situation today.
4. Kaitlyn only picked at her cereal this morning, so I spooned a couple of bites into her mouth. Then I took her out of the high chair, she walked over to a basket of clean laundry, leaned over, and threw up into it. Happy happy JOY JOY. I don’t want to do laundry! I want to sit here on my butt and surf the ‘net, looking up dumb sites like the 25 weirdest celebrity babies names-seriously, John Mellencamp, what is WRONG with you?
5. I had one goal this weekend-get all of my product review posts written. I wrote ONE. I have piles of DVDs that need to be mailed out, bills to pay, phone calls to make. I need a secretary.
6. My husband hasn’t slept more than a few hours in two nights. I know he is worried about our money situation, specifically, that pile of bills we can’t pay. Bill paying is supposed to be my job, so now I feel guilty for not handling it so he doesn’t have to worry. He’s also worried about my depression, which is bad this year and not improving even with Wellbutrin. I hate that.
7. I want to mail out Christmas cards, but I want them to have a photo on them, and I can’t get a photo that looks even halfway decent. I don’t know what it is about Kaitlyn, she WILL NOT smile for the camera. I wonder if Casey would let me borrow Moosh and pretend she’s mine? (Kidding!)
BUT, on a positive note, I’m giving away a cute DVD on MomReviews, and on this blog, I’m giving away a weekend rental of a Dell digital projector! And giveaways make me happy, so that’s a plus 
Oh honey, I sympathize about the bill/money situation. Now rather than being kept awake at night worrying about money, I’m just kept awake with horrific heartburn and having to pee every 30 minutes. And wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could all have a maid or two? Ah, that would be nice.
837 mails? That is tough. I’m really sorry about how you’re feeling right now, Elizabeth.
I can’t imagine you screaming? Really?
It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day
Oh sis
If there’s anything, anything at all I can do, please let me know.
As for Nathan, as long as you don’t take it personally then just keep in mind that you were EXTREMELY blessed with your first child and his manners, etc. MOST kids at some point decide that they want to see how far they can take something before Mom’s head explodes. It’s natural, it’s normal. It’s frustrating as hell I know.
As for Princess Muffinest, I’m so sorry for the laundry. My dog always ends up laying on baskets we haven’t put away, effectively turning them all into gross dog hair sweaters. But hey look at it this way, at least you have a working washer and dryer (our washer broke and we’re STILL trying to remember to stop and get a new one while we’re out.) Therefor you didn’t have to sit with vomit laced laundry until “Visiting the local freak show” – er – I mean “Laundry day when we take it down to the corner laundromat”
Make yourself some yummy muffins. Nothing comforts someone better than a warm buttery sweet yummy muffin, and I KNOW you can cook
Love you – wish I lived close enough to come sit with the kids and give you a break.
Sorry to hear that. Indeed Monday is always difficult for many, but with your case it seems worse. Sorry there is nothing I could help you with, we are in the same boat now. If not because of the stupic drop in pr!
Hi! Just found out you are member of Maya Mom as well? What’s your member name there? I am also a member.

How long have you been on the Wellbutrin? If it has been over a month and its still not working, you need to talk to your doctor.
Oh, sorry to hear about you Monday ickies.
Really, she threw up in the laundry basket? That right there would have put me over the edge.
Oh, and I am terrible at organizing my inbox. I have well over 1000 emails sitting there uncategorized.
Hope your week gets better!

LifeAsIKnowIt-Yep, right onto the top of the clean laundry. It was gross.
And 1,000 emails? Glad to know I’m not the only one! lol Thanks so much for reading and leaving a comment!
I have the same monday problems! My 6 yr old went around barfing in different spot like one of my cats yesterday. i was trying to be sympathetic but i was like, “Can you please just barf in one spot?”
BIlls, still feeling your pain… I am looking into other ways to make moolah because the jobs i want to apply for aren’t available anymore right now.

That Celebrity kids names list is fun. I would never call my child I.P. Freely, but David Carradine does. What a weirdo!
