A Case of the Mondays...

This weekend I prepared for a congratulations/ surprise/ I love you party, celebrating my husband's first day of the police academy, leading to a weekend long attempt to clean the apartment. The living room, kitchen and guest bedroom were clean, but I definitely did not use our bedroom to throw everything that did not have a place. Including the two cats, the litter box, and everything from piles and piles of clean and dirty laundry, boxes, and school stuff.

When my sweet little niece asked me where the kitties were and if she could go and see them, I would never tell her, "Oh they are in the bedroom. But they are really tired and sleeping!" Which really meant, NOOOO! Please don't open that door! Not me! Not Aunt Katie!

After a fantastic, and may I add successful, surprise party I definitely put every dish and trash away in it's place. I would never hide the last two pieces of cookie cake in the oven on a baking sheet until the next day. Not me! My kitchen is always spotless...

On a chilly Monday morning, 5:20 came way too soon. After hitting the snooze and contemplating getting out of bed to shower the cold breeze from the open window and the warm comforter changed my mind. I did not talk myself out of a shower due to the fact that today was Hats Off to Being Drug Free day at school, allowing my adorable Life is Good hat to cover my day old hair do. I NEVER trade in a shower for 45 extra minutes of sleep! :/

While reading MckMama's Not Me Monday post, the words sounded all too familiar to my Monday evening..... Trying to be the Stepford wife that I am, I turned on my oven to pre heat for my friend Betty Crocker's pre made chicken pasta then returning to the couch to finish Oprah. No, I did not forget about the baking sheet of cookie cake holding one of our knifes with the plastic handle on the bottom shelf of the oven!!!! The putrid smell of burning plastic and over cooked cookie cake interrupted Oprah's BFF Nate Berkus. Needless to say we are down one steak knife and I will need to find another dessert for this week. Things like this NEVER happen to me!

Now my oven did not look as bad as MckMama's, but I did take comfort in the fact that this did in fact happen to someone else, and on the same day.... this was a bad case of a NOT ME MONDAY! I feel you MckMama! :)

Tuesday has never sounded so nice!
