It's Monday, Again.
It's Monday, again. The day greets me with laundry hampers running over with dirty clothes, towels, and the like. I just did the laundry Friday. There wasn't even a dirty sock in the house when I finished Friday! Obviously, my children must be gathering dirty clothes from the neighbors. Surely we couldn't have accumulated all of this in a couple of days. But, then it came to me again, it's Monday - it's always like this on Mondays.
Its Monday and the house is a mess! No matter how hard I try to keep it together over the weekend, by Saturday evening I throw up my hands and allow the chips to fall where they may.
It's Monday and Issie's ready to eat. He's not particularly interested in getting up. All he really wants to do is eat and resume sleeping off the weekend. On Tuesdays, like the rest of the week, he'll want to eat and then play - but not on Mondays.
It's Monday - my eyes hurt. My head hurts.
If I had a nostril that was actually functioning, it would probably be hurting too.
I'm so sleepy.
It's Monday, again, and I have 40 lbs. of "baby fat" that's still clinging to me.
I've come to the firm conclusion that "baby fat" only looks cute on a baby.
I really need to lose about 60 lbs., but if I could shake 40 lbs., I'd look so much better, who'd worry about the other 20 lbs.?
I don't know what possesses me to think I'm going to wake up one Monday morning and suddenly be slim and trim.
So here starts another week of trying to figure out which ingenious plan am I going to think up to help me lose weight.
It's Monday, again. I dread Mondays, but for some strange and Divine reason, I'm looking forward to this particular Monday. Yes I still have all of the work to do plus some. But, this time it's different. Although it's cloudy and yucky outside, there's joy on the inside. Instead of seeing the laundry as the mountainous chore that it is, I thank God for the privilege of being at home and being able to do it. I wrote a song some time ago called "Joy in Servin' the Lord" There is!!! There is so much joy in serving the Lord. Joy is constant, but happiness is dependant upon the situation or circumstances.
Although I may never say "It's Monday, again and I'm happy," I can say: "It's Monday, again, and I've got joy."
