Monday?

Why hello there, Monday.

I see you've come around again.

I'm in no mood for you today, Monday so back the heck off until I drink my coffee.

I much prefer Thursday to Monday. 

Thursday is our day off. No work for Mama, no school for the Big Boy.  Just me, the kiddos, and a day to reconnect. 

Last Thursday, I got a head start on the weekend, and took the boys out for pizza for lunch. 

Where is the pizza you mentioned?

A pretzel is really not an effective object to hide behind. 

If anyone would like to take my children out for lunch, here are a few critical pieces of information:

*Arrival time: 11:15

* Seating: 2 high chairs, out of striking distance.

* Requirements: Snack bag, sippy cup, and small, interesting objects (i.e. car keys)

* Time frame: You will have approximately 15 minutes of acceptable behavior in which to order, eat, and clear out. 

* Reality check: the Big Boy will most likely eat nothing - no, not even strips of pizza dough covered in cinnamon-sugar. 

Sure, you have to handle the whole operation a bit like a coordinated military maneuver, but it's worth it. 

And that was just the start of our weekend. 

How was your weekend?
