Ha.  Actually, today was a Monday-ugh.  Ever have one of those?  So, since I immediately knew that today was a Monday-ugh and that I&#8217;m going to get slammed with stuff to do tomorrow (on Tuesday) I decided to take the day off.  By 6:45, as I sat on the playroom floor and let the dog out through the door that my 2 year old accidently broke on my head last week, I had decided that today was a mental health day.  Now, nobody feel sorry for dear Jonathan, he was not called upon to help me on my day off.  And, actually, I did all my usual stuff, sort of.  Still changed diapers.  Still washed dishes.  Still helped with homework.  Still returned phone calls.  But I just did it because I wanted to instead of the other (wrong) attitude of feeling like I had to do stuff that I sort of didn&#8217;t want to do.  You know?<\/p>\n<p>I learned a few things on my day off.  They are not that interesting, but here you go:<br \/>\n1)  I really enjoy finding the to-do lists ofhigh school seniors in the book that I check out from the library.  Been there and done those things on that list.  Being reminded of stuff you&#8217;ve already done is very refreshing.  Wahoo.<br \/>\n2)  For the thrifty and casual:  Old Navy has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldnavy.com\/browse\/mpp.do?promorefid=18635&#038;promoid=18635&#038;promotype=mup&#038;pageID=-1\">women&#8217;s t-shirts <\/a>(v-neck and crewneck, longsleeved) on sale for 3 for 20 bucks.  And the colors are great, in my opinion.<br \/>\n3)  For the thrifty and caffeine needy:  McDonald&#8217;s will give you a free cup of coffee every Monday this month.  So, if you find yourself needing a cup&#8230;and it happens to be a Monday in September, then get over there for some.  <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Was a Monday I know, I&#8217;m really with it to know that today is Monday.
