“I am breaking up with Monday because I am seeing Tuesday and dreaming about Friday!”

We were 7 minutes late. But thats all it took. Those 7 minutes were the difference in us making the last ferry home from Delaware last night, or driving the 3 hours all the way around. And we missed it.

2 babies asleep in the back, the sun resting peacefully below the horizon, and a daunting 3 hour drive was ahead of us after being up since 6am. I offered to drive. I turned on XM radio, Starbucks sitting to my right in a sticky cup holder and I prayed for a musical miracle. “Dear God–please play music that will keep my head bobbing….and not in a ‘I’m about to be unconscious, kinda way’, but in a “Let’s Do THIS kinda way”.

Well, we made it home alive. Justin Bieber, Pitbull, Kelly Clarkson, and Kesha surely did their job right! But now its Monday. Its back to work after WAY less than the average suggested amount of sleep per night and those two babies—well, they are raring to go. Of course they are–they slept they whole way with Michael in the backseat! I swear energy is wasted on the young! (DEAR LORD I’m totally turning into my mother!)

At the risk of any more “IM TURNING INTO MY MOTHER moments” or depressing Monday Blues stories about lack of sleep before the beginning of a long work week—I will end with a….”Yeah, Monday—you are hated by most everyone I know, but you ARE another day I get to spend with my loved ones and another day I get to live out my dream as a professional photographer—so, rest assured that I don’t hate you as much as everyone else might : P

Happy Monday everyone. Try to make the most of it : )

Stay Happy, Beautiful and Fabulous!
