"Is seven too young of an age?" asks the youngest.
"For what?" I ask, nervously.
"For not wanting Monday to come. The weekend went by so fast! I need another day to play." he explains.
The old-school teacher in me wanted to say, "Yes! Seven is much too young! First grade is so much fun and it's almost over! Enjoy it while you can!" (Yes, the teacher loves exclamation points.)
The momma in me wanted to say, "Yes. You shouldn't dread Mondays...but why don't you just stay home instead and bake cookies with me?"
The tired, grown lady in me, the one who spent most of her Sunday nights panicking about Mondays, wanted to say, "No, you're not too young. It's about time you figured it out! Welcome to our club. Now. GO pack your backpack and lay out your clothes. Monday morning comes fast."
At the moment, I use the teacher-explanation. The kid IS only seven.
The eldest child, the middle child and the man all give me the same look. You know. The one that says "Oh, that poor, poor child sure has a long road of Mondays ahead of him.." Yes.Yes he does.
May your Monday go smoothly, friends.

Woo Hoo!
Hello!
I received a sweet e-mail today from the people at "NEW LOOK". They are part of the Simplicity Pattern Company. They are also the makers of my three "pattern reviews".
The skirt I made, New Look 6873 and my blog were featured today on the company's Facebook page!
How fun is that?
Go take a look and give them a like. I am so happy!
See, girls who fall UP stairs can have good days too :)
Happy Thursday, friends :)

Have you ever...
Yelled at a toaster?
Have you furiously pushed the lever up and down, turned the whole thing over, dropped the bagels that were in it on the floor and THEN realized it wasn't plugged in?
Have you microwaved something and forgot about it? Twice?
Have you warmed up something on the stove and used the wrong burner? Did the burner have a plastic bowl on it?
Have you ever taken out the trash and then fallen UP the steps while people were walking by?
Yeah, maybe.
But, have you done all of that before noon on the same day?
I have.
Happy "I'M-GOING-BACK-TO-BED" day, friends.
