Silly Mom Thoughts

Possibly one of the best movie quotes comes from Office Space during a conversation between Peter Gibbons and his homely, eavesdropping neighbor, Lawrence:

Peter (to Lawrence): Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you’re not feelin’ real well, does anyone ever say to you, ‘Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays’?

Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked sayin’ something like that, man.

I have to say that I’m glad in my job no one asks me if I have a case of the Mondays. Actually, I take that back. If Bug ever came up to me and in his 3-year-old voice asked “Mama? You got a caiz of the Muhn-aze?” that might be pretty entertaining.

Last night, I made a vow. Today, Monday, I would not poo poo the fact that it is the beginning of another work week. Instead, I wrote down a list of things to accomplish today. (Aside from writing this blog, none of them are completed, but hey, it was a valiant thought.) In addition, throughout the day, I have been thinking about all of the great things about today.

For instance, I drove by a gas station and saw that gas is down to $2.15. Puh-raise Jesus! It gets better: I had a gift card to Starbucks and was able to get my eggnog latte fix. Mmmmm.

What else? Hmmm…

Oh, I realized that I would much rather have my job than these:

Sewer inspector/cleaner

Nasty.

Bull semen collector

Ew.

Alligator farmer

Ouch.

*Shudders*

I would take my job any day over these occupations, thank you.

Next time I think I’m coming down with a case of the Mondays, I will be rereading this blog and thanking my heavenly stars that I don’t have to deal with anyone’s poop (with the exception of two small people…), assist a bull in getting himself off, or put myself in the way of an alligator’s razor sharp teeth.

Ya know, suddenly Monday doesn’t seem so bad after all!
