Monday Madness
I don't usually post twice a week but I am considering turning it into a regular thing. Mondays are my second favorite day of the week and I always feel good and ready to go, with a million thoughts in my head. So, I thought I might make a weekly Monday post that is just a stream of thoughts about random things. Not structured or planned, just free written to relieve some Monday jitters.
Why is Monday my second favorite day of the week? Aren't Mondays everyone's least favorite day of the week? Typically, yes. For me, though, on Mondays I feel so refreshed and energized. Everything I failed to do, or didn't do well enough the week before has a second chance. If I missed some workouts, I get a second chance to enjoy them. If I was feeling drained the week before and didn't finish my to do list of laundry and mopping, I get to try again. It is a second chance. I've gone to bed and now I can get up and try again. Saturdays are my favorite because they are usually filled with relaxing with my husband and playing with my puppies. Mondays are when I feel inspired, when I feel motivated to get things done. So here I am Monday, let's do it! Over the weekend I stockpiled in yarn while grocery shopping for a project I am hoping to launch in October. I am so excited but there is a lot of work to be done beforehand. I also am spending a lot of time making gifts for people for Christmas. So far I have 3, and I am trying not to get overzealous and end up having a ton of crocheting to do during Christmas. However, it is cheaper to make a gift for someone than to spend money on a gift for someone...Is it worth the work though?
Penelope is doing really great, and learning to be such a good puppy. The past two nights she has only gotten up once to go to the bathroom which is a huge win. Although for some reason after she goes outside to go potty in the middle of the night, she cries and HAS to sleep with us instead of in her own bed. It's not a huge deal but I don't sleep as well with her in bed because I am constantly making sure she isn't smooshed or had an accident in the bed. I am enjoying it and reveling in the snuggles while she is little, because I know she will eventually be too big to sleep with me and will move on to sleeping in the living room. Some days I wish she would stay a puppy forever, but it will also be wonderful when she is fully potty trained and doesn't have razor sharp teeth. The week that we got her, my husband wasn't working yet (summer break) and he was with Penelope all day every day. I was so worried that she would bond with him and love him more than me. I was so worried that I cried when she didn't want to sleep next to me on the couch. Thankfully that weekend I spent all of my time with her and we bonded so much. She loves snuggling with me. When she gets scared she hides behind me, and when she is sleeping next to me, she snuggles her nose right into my neck. It is the sweetest thing and it melts my heart. I know that she loves me more (haha, how messed up is that? But seriously I have always wanted a puppy to love me the most and be bonded to me. I am so glad she knows I am her mom and she loves me more).
This weekend we watched almost all of both seasons of the Netflix Original series "Glow." It is so so so good. I am thinking about making it the next part of the "Netflix with Kaydee" series. (Part 1 is coming out on Friday, August 24th and is all about Pretty Little Liars season 7!) I wasn't sure about the show although it had been on my list for several months. As soon as I started watching it I was sucked in and we didn't watch anything else on Friday and Saturday! I can't wait to talk about it soon.
Since I am here I thought I would give you a line up of the rest of the Friday posts for August! August 17th// Slump--Tips for Getting Out
August 24th// Netflix with Kaydee: Pretty Little Liars Season 7
August 31st// Fall is Coming--Hallelujah!
Keep an eye out for these!
I cannot believe there are only 3 more Fridays in August?! It is crazy! Thanks for reading today's random thoughts. I hope that you all have a great Monday and a great week!
