A case of the Mondays...

When I woke up this morning I knew I was in for a long day... When my alarms went off I had that feeling of "why in the heck is my phone going off I just went to bed" despite my 6 hours of sleep, but after too many days in row of 5 or 6 hours my body was not having it. However, as I am a teacher, not a fabulous CEO that can move her appointments back at a time suits her better, I dragged myself out of bed and got on with my day.  One where I'm feeling particularly sleepy, I usually don't wear the outfit I previously selected and instead go for one of my three favorites.  With the mentality "look good feel good" I figure that on days I need a little extra something I should dress in something with "a little extra something", and let me tell you, quite often it works!

And of course, until my heater decided to turn on I had to wear my favorite item in my closet, the trench coat!

Trench coat ( t. Babaton-Aritzia) Skirt (J Crew-here) T-Shirt (Etsy) 

But... When it does come on, I feel like I'm teaching somewhere tropical... So for most of the day, I really looked like this....

This morning, however, the Mondays were determined to make it a long day! I got my self ready, running a little later than I prefer, but still in good shape, heated up some milk to make some hot chocolate, and then this happened....

Seriously universe?! It's my FAVORITE mug! I know it's a Monday and you're trying to mess with me, but did you seriously have to mess with my Minnie Mug? Uncalled for!

Needless to say I was not happy! But now, on the verge of being late if I didn't leave pronto, I made my hot chocolate, poured it in a travel cup and was on my way!  I started to get the feeling of success when I arrived at school on time (I HATE being late places, so that was crucial to a good day), I got into my classroom and remembered that I didn't feel like organizing Friday night and that meant I needed to Monday, it's like coming home from vacation to a pile of laundry you didn't do before you left plus what you need to do now. But I managed to get started, check my email, decided I'd organize after school and went on with my day, which turned out to be quite fabulous! My students were awesome, the little 7th graders are starting to learn about the first English colonies in what is now the United States.  They were so intrigued by the idea of the lost colony of Roanoke (find out more here is interested, it really is fascinating!) I'm positive I have future detectives and historians in my room! 

The Mondays did manage to catch up with me though, unfortunately.... When I got out of my meetings today I was really feeling tired and decided to call it a day, go home, eat, fold some laundry and get a couple things ready for the rest of the week at school....what actually happened: got home, turned the drier back on for a few minutes, ate a few bites of cookie dough ice cream, turned on Monday Night Football, took clothes out of drier, folded three items, fell asleep on pile of laundry for a the first half of the game and halftime, woke up to a 21-14 Jets lead, looked at my to do list and stared blankly at it wondering why little animals from all over Seattle didn't come into my apartment and cross a few things off my to do list for me like they do in Disney movies.... I feel gipped.... I swore I was a Disney Princess! 

Since woodland animals are going to help, I suppose I should cross a few items off myself. I hope the Mondays didn't come after you quite as much as they did me.

Until next time,
