mondays suck

1. i hate mondays. i just need one more day to recoup for some reason so i tend to make my mondays very low key. (in fact, when i worked at pier 1, mondays and saturdays were my day off days)

2. except for this week, i have a mile long list of things to be done before kaylee's birthday party. grocery shopping is number 1. we have been out of cat food since wednesday so my pesky cat who thinks he is not a cat has been eating tuna and bread.

3. speaking of kaylee's birthday party- nothing and i mean nothing that i had originally planned has been working out. finding the stuff i WANT has been impossible to find and time. where does it go?

4. bummed that i never got my bissell steam mop for $49.99. i ended up calling target saturday when mike came home empty handed. none of the 3 stores within driving distance had any in stock. they probably will today but the sale price has ended.

5. had an awesome time at ben's 3rd birthday party saturday. got to see my buddies and got to love on little c man.

6. tons of sales going on for cyber monday. too bad i am out of money.

7. went to ikea yesterday and dropped some dough like it was HOT! got some stuff i've been needing/wanting for the house: curtains, curtain rods, picture frames and my long white shelf plus a few other items. the wants on my list will have to wait for the next trip. my goal is go every 6 months. mike is thrilled.

8. mike + kaylee came with. he was worried that i wouldn't make it. i have a fear of driving in chicago traffic but was ready to take on that fear yesterday. if i do it once then the fear tends to go away but not the sweaty arm pits.

9. i did not have a fun experience learning to drive with my parents. my shoulders still twitch just at the thought and i took out my friends mailbox. a brick mailbox if that helps any.

10. i think my kids are trying to kill me. S-L-O-W-L-Y. kaylee's a little whiny, still clingy + constantly needy. ham is killing me with his need for expensive clothing (when did this happen?) and itouch/iphone "i cant make up mind" decision.
