I know how you feel.

I *hate* Sundays, particularly Sunday afternoon, 3-4 pm sliding into evening.
It's the panic time at our house. I always seem (no matter how much I do all week) to have a load of chores to get the week going--ironing for my son, making lunch for the next day, making sure I have a 'list of things to do' and the ultimate favorite--looking for a job...

When Monday rolls around, you have so much to do or want to do that it's hard to face.

Break it down in little bits and try to find some time for fun.

I work harder not having a job (I am unemployed) than ever. I always see something that needs cleaning, washing, mending, feel the eyes of the dog on me (begging for more attention, another walk, more *anything*), the constant call of the piled up laundry (that never goes away), the dishes, the meals, and so on.

I need a job to 'get away from it all!!'

Yeah, I have a case of the everydays...

Does anyone out there have a remedy for the "Bad Case of The Monday's"?
When I complain about getting up on Monday morning, I ponder the following:

Our men and women in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world definitely come to mind. In reality, I'm sure they would rather be here at home, have a bad day at the office and go home to their families each night.

I tell myself that there are people in prison who would gladly have a "bad monday" on the outside than be locked up. Granted, their actions put them there, but this is what works for me. At least when the day ends, I can go home.

Realizing that there are those who have no job to go to, no boss to ***** about or other things that we dislike about work.

Don't get me wrong..I have my challenging days, but I always try to see the bright side.

So everyday I can wake up, walk and enjoy the things I once took for granted, it's a good day.

Take Monday off. That's what I do. I would rather do Mondays over Fridays, because on Fridays people are in a better mood. For me, a 3 day weekend is Saturday- Monday, not Friday-Sunday. It really helps.

Trust me, if I could. I would work 4 10 hour days just so I can get past everyone's bad mood on Mondays that seems to trickle down on me.

You should be thankful having jobs!! Looks so many of us are hear discussing the "happiness of being unemployed"!!!! Make sure you do not join us in near future!! Then you will complain about "bad case of everydays"!
Exactly! Thank god I still live with my parents and not having to worry about a $900 monthly mortgage payment like most working people. NO WAY unemployment alone will help you with the payment. So, count your blessings that the folks that have jobs still have jobs.
