Not On A Monday

Monday go away,
I do not want to hear you.
Let me sleep in peace today,
it is not your day.
Hear me-Not On A Monday,
I need a three day weekend.

Back to tell you I actually USED to hate Mondays. But when I semi retired a few years ago , the school let me quit teaching workshop classes on Monday. So now I have four day weekends but I put all my teaching prep off till Monday. So it still kind of sucks. However, Tuesday is my new Monday. Haha

haha, this reminds me of what someone told me after he retired, but before I did. He said, "my Mondays are better than yours." Now, I like my Mondays, too. Art class and concert tomorrow. Work - nope!

This is truly adorable, Paula. Mondays aren't great for me either because I tend to get a lot done over the weekend.
