Monday morning prayers

[somebabiesmom]

Hi, Monday. I would really like a good day for DS. He's been in a lot of trouble at DC lately and he's stressed out. Please let him have a good day.

Please also let me do a prodigal-type job on my project that's due today that I'm only just starting. I would have started it earlier, but I had a hair appt at the end of my week last week and what can I say? Hair trumps all.

Also, I wanted to say something to Thursday. Thanks for the bad ass hair, Thursday. Peachy highlights are my new favorite thing.

ETA my new peachy hair. Sorry for the freakish-looking censor blocks:

[poof]

[twinmomma]

Hey Monday! Please let my call with an exterminator go well later. I desperately need a reasonable price point for our squirrel situation PLUS the ant situation that popped up this weekend. Maybe we could get some kind of deal since we have two pest problems now?

[mustardseed2007]

Hi Monday, please be with DH as he takes the kids to work with him for some reason I can't figure out. Also, seeing as how it's my birthday, maybe the HOA board of directors meeting can be short? Furthermore, please help us as we begin preparations for our trip we leave for on Thursday. Especially since I haven't started yet.
And finally, can all of Fridays problems please be solved in the first half of today? That would be peachy.

ETA: somebabiesmom, your hair was worth it. Super cute!

[somebabiesmom]

Happy Birthday, mustardseed2007!

[twinmomma]

Also, Monday, please grant me the grace to handle the fall out of my children learning "where babies come from" last night from DH while I was out. I can only imagine the pre-k discussions they'll be having today on the heels of visiting with a very pregnant aunt yesterday + that discussion last night.

[CoverGirl82]

Dear Monday, it's me, CoverGirl. Please help DD make friends at school. It breaks my heart when I pick her up after work and almost every day she says she either didn't play with anyone, or kids told her they didn't want to play with her. It has made for a tough school year for her. And it's been really hard for me to not be able to do much about the lack of friends.

Super cute hair, somebabiesmom!

Happy birthday, mustardseed2007!

Similarly, Monday, please be with my child's teacher as she navigates DD1's newfound knowledge of how babies EXIT along with her desire to share this fascinating fact. Thanks, April the Giraffe. OH yesterday morning: "DD2, mama sort of pooped you out but not from her butt."

Dear Monday,

I regret letting the kids eat their weight in candy yesterday. Lesson learned. Please don’t punish me more by having them act like sugar crazed monsters again today. I promise to keep it in check next year. somebabiesmom , love the hair color!  mustardseed2007 , Happy Birthday!

[librarychica]

Monday, My brother really needs this job. If someone could call and offer it to him today, I would really appreciate it. Would love to receive that excited text message before lunch. Thanks.

[judyblume14]

Monday,
I need you to please promise that the clothes I just just order online will fit my PP mama-bod.

Also, make sure the lawn guys do a good job. They said they don't "vacuum up the grass" but that the "mow twice" whatever the heck that means. Our tractor is in the shop, we haven't mowed yet this spring, and the grass is REALLY tall.

In conjunction with the prayers of twinmomma and librarychica, please make sure my husband's cousin know I'm sorry for "weirding out" his 7 year old daughter when she found out how baby A is fed. Though it was hilarious when she went around to EVERY family member at Easter yesterday saying "Guess how baby A eats?!?!?"

[indyrowergirl]

somebabiesmom, I'm loving the hair!  And it's true, hair does trump all.  I will piss off a lot of people, but my hairdresser is not one of them.


mustardseed2007, Happy Birthday!

Our Monday, which art in cubicle, 
Please help me keep my sh*t together at work today.  I'm at T-10 days, and crap keeps exploding in my face.  How am I going to transition this project to the new lead if I have to keep firefighting?!?  I need some quiet time to pull notes together to help smooth out the hand off, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.  Add all of this to the fact that I'm running out of f*cks to give, and I forsee a rough day/week ahead.  Please give me strength!  
Amen.

I already lost it and hung up on someone. A month ago after I got a bill from my dr office, I called and filled out their form so they would bill the at fault driver's insurance. Got a "Final Notice" on Thurs. Now they are telling me there is no such form and I have to chase down the insurance personally or pay it myself. Grrrr... Guess I am paying myself. But now I don't want to go back to the dr to see about an MRI because it will be another bill I have to chase down. Apparently.

We told the kids that I have a baby in my belly this weekend. DD1 kept saying that I'm going to poop the baby out. Where do they get this stuff from!?

Happy Birthday mustardseed2007!

Monday, please keep DD1 really busy at school today so she forgets that she asked me to pick her up early today. It's going to be a busy day so it's not going to happen and I don't want to feel all guilty tonight when I pick her up.

[mustardseed2007]

Guys! Thanks for all the birthday wishes

Also a shout out to Sunday where I found the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, like my SIL bringing her own food for her gluten sensitivity even though she eats bread all the time.

And my aunt bringing a gigantic honey baked ham deli tray for an "appetizer" but really she just wanted ham instead of gumbo. For the record, my gumbo was GOOD.

And my SIL and BIL also bringing their rambunctious dogs to our house (what's with people who can't leave their THREE dogs at home for 2 hours??).

[k3am]

mellym, your DD's notion that you'll poop the baby out is pretty accurate.

[sudokufan]

Dear Monday,
Heal my shoulder please. I haz an owie, despite all of DS's kisses (which are sweet, but misplaced, as he for some reason thinks it's my arm pit that hurts. AWKWARD)

Also, Monday, please give DS's teacher the grace and patience to handle his new imaginary friend, Stick the caterpillar, that lives on his shoulder and says "OOOO OOO OOO". It's going to be a long week, Monday, and we're nearly out of Easter chocolate already.

[supertrooper1]

Happy birthday mustardseed2007.

Great hair somebabiesmom!

[liziz]

Dear Monday,
Please let the runny nose and cough be from the molars that are coming through, and not a real illness. Please also let the molars be the cause of the bedtime disaster last night, and grant H much patience as he deals with that on his own while I'm at yoga tonight.

I know! I was totally laughing about it because then she asked "well, HOW do you poop it out?".  Well, it is just like when you poop....LOL

[2chatter]

Love the hair somebabiesmom! I did real highlights for the first time on Friday and love it!

The neuro fit DD in this morning so we are about to go (original
Appointment offer was May 23). Fingers seriously crossed that they can figure this numbness/chest pain thing out. DD has a cross country meet on Wednesday.

[mommyatty]

Are you there, Monday? It's me, Mommyatty.

Please let me actually accomplish stuff this week since I've basically been out of the office traveling for a month. I have so much stuff to do!

Thank you for letting my kids be super-cute this morning, even though DS was being a grouch and DD was pissed off because she suddenly decided she can't stand the smell of the blueberry muffins DS has eaten religiously every morning for a year and therefore he was not supposed to sit anywhere near her.

And please let DH get on board with planning summer vacation. I'm thinking an all-inclusive, but I'd settle for anything with a beach right now. Preferably not San Diego because we've gone there twice. Let's try something new, okay?

[billybumbler]

Dear Monday, please let me not gain 1200 pounds from eating all the delicious chocolate that now inhabits my home.

[olenka]

Oh Monday,

Grant me the strength to get through one more day of my mom's visit. I love her dearly, but her little barbs and passive aggressive comments and actions are tearing me down a little. She refolded my towels the way she likes! No, you don't do that in someone else's home.

Your humble servant,
Olenka

[erinshelley21]

Monday, my great uncle and his family could use a miracle and some good news regarding his quickly deteriorating health.

Also, help me survive this week with Dh working MWF, having a meeting Thursday and an all day training Saturday. I made the right call buying a box of wine Saturday.

mustardseed2007, Happy Birthday
somebabiesmom, cute hair

Dear Monday
Give me patience to deal with the crazy-ass day.
Just reminder that on Wednesday all the tax season craziness will be over and you can go home at 3, take DD to gym, and just be calm again.

Happy birthday mustardseed2007!

Love the hair somebabiesmom

Dear Monday,

Please let the doc say that DS will grow in his own time and we shouldn't be worried and have to start to consider daily hormone injections. We are all late bloomers so hopefully that is the case. We really can't take much more.

praying for good news for you! We're supposed to make an appointment for the GH deficiency test for this summer. I haven't made it yet because...I don't want to.
