Well not anymore. Just few weeks ago i discussed how i despise Mondays and wished it were still Sunday. Now i discovered something to make my Mondays worth while. I've maid it a Me Monday day! Now what does it mean? It's the day that i'm gonna take care of myself. Facials, deep scrubbing, cleansing and cleaning my room as well! I'm gonna turn it into a very productive fun filled day, i'd forget it's even called Monday! Now time to go and do that Me Monday thing! Have a happy Monday everyone!

Great, now I will have the song "Just Another Manic Monday" running through my head for the rest of the day. I am glad that you were able to find a way to like Mondays. It is good when we can find a way to enjoy something that we normally dislike, especially when that "thing" happens to occur once a week.

Great idea Toni! How I use to handle the I hate Mondays was that I use to call it my lazy day of the week. Though I still cooked and helped the kids with their school work I did not do much at home on this one particular day. I would resume all else the following days but for me doing very little helped me to deal with my ever so stressful working Mondays.

Progressiveness! GReat idea. Start with doing little things on the beginning of a work week and then increases as you go along with the rest of the week.

I work full-time on a Monday. Up at 10 to 8, leave the house at quarter to 9. In work for 9am.. and work right through until 5.. and it’s awful because if I’ve had a really busy weekend, or there has been friends and family round all weekend, then I feel like my partner and I have had no time together! SO! We turn Sunday into us day! Whether it’s from we get up, or if we are staying with her sister for the weekend in another town, we make it from we get home. We get showered and we get clean pajamma’s on. We change the bed sheets so they are all fresh and clean. We scrub our faces and exfoliate. I do my nails. We make something yummy to eat or we order a take away.. and then we settle down and watch films all day, of if we aren’t home until sort of 5/6pm.. then all night :) I hope you enjoyed your Monday!!

Thank you! After the weekend it's a little heavy to start again on Monday to work, to study or something else. The body has to get used to the routine again. Inclusive the production isn't as good as on Wednesday. For this reason never buy a Monday's car.

Never buy a Monday's car. But a car is a machine! Seriously i haven't heard of this saying before but i know what you mean.

Hi toni! That's good for you! I think that's a very interesting way to treat Monday. A lot of people hate Mondays. First day of work week, traffic is worst, so hard to wake up the children because of weekend hangover, and all that. So I think it's good to counter it with stuffs that pleasure you. I don't hate Monday but sometimes I just don't like to go back to work yet. But what I do is just treat myself with free internet which is just one of my happiness in life.

This is actually one of my less stressful Mondays to say the very least. Which is something that I welcome a lot of the time. There are just many times where Monday morning comes and I'm just not really going to be all that into it. The weekend is there, I am rather too relaxed and then I turn around. There is just a lot of work to be done, way too much for my own liking. Yet it is just something that is really something that just happens with each and every Monday. I think a lot of weeks, that if I survive Monday, then I go a long way in surviving the rest of the week. It is just about really setting the tone for the rest of the week and doing so on Monday, it allows me to really get through the rest of the week. Some Mondays are rather more challenging, a hurdle that we need to clear, but when it is cleared, it is smooth sailing. It is rather important to have a decent day on Monday, as it does set the tone for the rest of the week.

So true. If we all start off right, we'll end up feeling better.

Good for you, you are the only one who can turn a dull day into an exciting day.Monday indeed is the worse day of the week because you have to change a routine, from parting or relaxing during the weekend to focussing and getting some serious work done (that is if you are employed)

Even students abhor the thought of MOnday! Back to school time! Well we can always try to turn things our own way to avoid ruining our day!
