Mondays

Some Mondays, you really should just not get out of bed................. Today was my month end which is always hectic, trying to get everything finished for the end of the month, trying to finish on time so that no one has to work late, trying to remember to do everything that needs to be done at month end so that you don't get in trouble the next day, well today was month end.
I worked last night so that i could start Monday ahead of schedule, ja, right like that was going to happen, so i only got to bed late, i then didn't sleep much because i had broken my tooth on a Beechie on Sunday.................who breaks there tooth on chewing gum, i am sure it was the world conspiring to turn me into a raving lunatic,............. anyway so i had some tooth ache during the night............... i knew i should have taken that pain killer.
Levy the dog decided that this was the night he was going to go to the toilet as many times as possible, so woke me up 3 times to go out, i think he just pretends, and is being bribed by someone, to keep me awake as long as possible you see the consipiracy thery makes sense. And then the alarm clock went off and it was MONDAY........................
I got up as usual nothing strange, i had my bath, and then when i went into the cupboard to fetch my body lotion, it was gone....................... i never take it out of the bathroom, i am sure that we have goblins that sneak into the house in the middle of the night and take what every they want, they rearrange all my posessions........... actually it was my youngest daughter who at 16 and has still not learnt to put anything back that she uses.............................. i then had to brave her room i am afraid that if i go in there i will never come out ........................ because that is what happens to everything else that goes in there, but the alternative was have dry skin all day and itch and that was not an option. Even the fact that i would have to brave those pink, pink, pink, pink , pink walls, could not seperate me from my body lotion................................
I put on cream, and then started my hair, putting on gel as usual before i blow wave forgetting that i had residue cream on my
hand still and so no matter what i tried i ended up with a hair style that looked like i had lived in the 60's used brylcream, and just got out of bed........... the mood was set.
My daughter decided that today was the day she was going to tell me all the news she had been saving for the past 16 years, she just did not stop and this while i was trying to decide what i was going to wear, well after changing about 6 times, i found something i was comfortable in, only realising hours later at work, that i was wearing a black bra with a white shirt, that my housekeeper had burnt the trousers that i had on, and the shirt being slightly shortet than i usually wear to work, showed the top of my trousers which showed my underwear, which i normally don't wear with trousers.
Then came the cherry on the top, a lady from church had asked me to fast with her for her marraige, no problem i do it with pleasure, there is always strength in numbers, at about 2 o'clock i sms'd her to find out how it was going it was only her 2nd fast, well the reply said she had felt dizzy so had rather eaten........................ she stays at home.......................... and here i am with my toothache, a hair style that would frighten Casper, a black bra with a white shirt, burnt trousers month end and fasting................................................
Sometimes you really should just stay in bed on Mondays.

The week that was

Wow, i cannot believe that it is a whole week, since i last had time to chat, it was just one of those weeks. Monday was my husbands birthday which was enlightening, last year he would not come to my party because I had invited all my friends, now he invites all my friends to his party, since we weren't exactly talking, i think it was a ploy to get me there..... because he had invited his own two friends, who really work for him, so i am not sure if that even counts as a freind, that being the case, it was a lovely evening, went to a brand new restaurant really nice food, nice people nice ambience. Tuesday to thank us for Monday was back to friends house another late night, nice food, nice people and nice ambience and so the triedness begins to set in............ Wednesday was cell and we are going through the book The Shack, wow, it is amazing what we are learning about ourselves, it is amazing what people are sharing.......... Thursday was Ascension day, and although it is really a serious matter, the service was "horrific" and this word is not used lightly. Our normal minister is way, so we had a Lay Preacher, well he choose three songs that no one knew, he then had a pianist playing that really needed some refresher lessons............. need i say more, but it was the third song that broke the congregations back, forget about the came, while the pianist was on a mission of her own playing something.......... the only one who could sing was the minister, no one else could follow the tune, you would have thought after the first verse, he would have given up, but he soldiered on alone through the second and third and fourth and...................... by this time the congregation, was really breaking up, and short of rolling on the floors were not taking the evening seriously.................... And then we went into the sermon..................... i had promised myself that i would listen really listen, well 10 minutes into the service i was doing my shopping, spending my salary, buying birthday gifts for all the birthdays coming up in the next week, i think i am just to stupid to understand, he did get me back for a few minutes about 5 minutes before the end, when he had an interesting concept of the stage call and the call of God being the same that part i really connected with, and then thank goodness he decided to miss the last song, i learnt later that we had not sung those songs in over 5 years.................
need i say more.................
Friday passed in a blurr and the tiredness of late nights in a row, caught up with me, and then there was Saturday, some time ago a friend and i had, had a brainwave to host a Mother and Daughter tea, the next time i have such an idea i am going to insist on being shot............... any way Saturday was the day, 5 tables between 8 and 10 people on a table, it was great, great message, great food, great company, the table were absolutely amazing, the theme was Shades of pink, so 5 people were host of the tables, you could do anything you wanted to provided it was in a shade of pink, the table were completely different, reflecting the 5 different personalities, but great fun was had by all my feet are still not talking to me, in fact it could be some time before they are friends with me again, i made the cardinal fashion mistake of wearing high heel shoes, not good when you spend 6 hours on your feet..................
Today was a beautiful morning, cool and crisp just like i like it, Church was great, great sermon, by another Lay Preachere, with our minister away, i did the evening service, and i normally have no problem, i knew my message was great, but i just did not connect, more i think because of my frame of mind, you see no matter how much we try to change ourselves, it is really hard, especially when those around you are stuck in a loop, and just repeating past mistakes, repeating past mistakes, repeating past mistakes................. roll on Monday my favourite day of the week, back to work, where i am boss, and people do thinks when i ask once.............. and when they see me stressing, they bring forth pots of tea................. i just love Mondays...............................
