Re: Mastering Monday

I've worked so hard today, I don't want to work this evening. I just want to go to bed early. This could be very bad (hard deadline is 12:45 on Wednesday.)
I'm so impressed, and proud of you hard workers.
I am not among you today. Mondays are near down-time for me, mentally. Yes, the errand-type work gets accomplished but back home again I collapse. I did not nap today, which is a victory.
Tomorrow will be my day caring for toddlerC. ds and ddil called (speaker phone) and gave me the option of doing it over there. I hope they didn't really want me to for some reason, because I declined. When toddlerC and I are here, "we" can do laundry, put away dishes, sweep, etc. If my phone rings I'm here to answer it. Over there, although I am in the lap of luxury in their pristine new house, and no chores, I feel uncomfortable as 6 hours pass without any of my own agenda continuing. I've always had household activity going while caring for children, making the activity part of our time together.
Frankly, my house can't take many days without housework, lol! If you take Sunday out and then Monday is a near washout, Tuesday better start back toward normalcy!
LadyM, I am torn. Part of me wants to remind you that every knowledgeable expert we ever consult is probably dead wrong about something else. But then I think about your point on how you would feel looking at him and listening, knowing how wrong you think he is on a subject important to you, and I see how the discomfort level could get in the way of learning from him.
