Day 68: Monday, Monday...

How many songs are out there about Monday?

I can think of two:

The Mama's & The Papa's: Monday, Monday (love this song)

andThe Bangles': "Manic Monday"

I gotta tell ya...both songs fit today.

Let's just roll back time and go back to Sunday. Let's forget Monday all together, because whenever it rolls around there is heartache!

I said yesterday that I felt like I was starting all over...and I did. I continually forget that my son has a hard time with change...well, to be more accurate, he has a hard time if the change messes with a long established schedule OR if it messes with a short period of "too much freedom".

He has had too much freedom this last month. We did a reduced school and a reduced work schedule for the majority of the time because my work/clean/laundry schedule was severely increased.

He was not happy that I expected a full day of work & learning.

Ah well, tomorrow will be better. How do I know, well, if nothing else, I have learned on this walking journey that the first day is the hardest. It does get easier - the tests of commitment & determination come hard & fast, but the actual first day is the hardest day.

I just need to (re)commit to school. Which is actually easy....just not easy for everyone!

Happy Walking!
