MONDAY BLUES

I have always found Monday morning to be a difficult time to get going. I always think it is because the weekend seems to have a different pace even though I am now alone and the days kind of flow together in meaning and activity. Nevertheless, here I am again wanting to postpone the week--maybe because I have a lot of child tending to do this week and even though it is a for pay job, unlike my nephews who I keep for free, these boys are brats. They are about 2 and 4 years of age and they pay no attention to what I say. I have never experienced this before so it is a challenge for me. I think that this will be a long week.

Yesterday was a good day. Church was interesting in that we have a guest priest while ours is away on a 6 week study sabbatical. The intereim is slow and obviously not as with it as he probably once was but the music was nice. This could be a long six weeks. I got one of those luxurious Sunday afternoon naps which I think I have written about before. I fed a friend and we went to a movie--one I'd seen before but was eager to see again--during which we had a wonderful rain storm. We could hear the thunder roll inside the theater. Before bed I talked to Natalie in Chicago and one of my best friends in Indiana. I went to bed feeling that all was right in my world. Thanks be...Amen.

I have had comments from friends that they are reading the blog besides the ones who comment to the blogspot so it is nice to know that I am being read. Primarily this is a way that my children and I keep up with each others lives but I'm glad for anyone who wants to check in on my hum drum activities. I hope that you get an occasional laugh.

On to the week ahead. May it be full of good things for all of us. I have to decide what to read next since I have finished my last book--so many books so little time. I'm trying to read Leon Uris's THE HAJ but I keep putting it aside since it is long and involved like THE EXODUS was. Sometimes I'm not up to keeping so many facts straight. I guess that says something about my intellect but I keep trying to stretch myself. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and spend more time at the gym stretching. As I said, on to the week ahead.
