mondays

i did not always dislike mondays.

when i was still in school, i look forward to mondays because it meant being with my friends and getting that allowance again. later, i realized that mondays may not be that great to everyone when a high school classmate told me that the only days she doesn't shampoo her hair are on mondays because she always oversleeps on mondays.

when i started working, monday was just the beginning of the week, nothing so special and nothing to dread.

when my daughter started going to the big school, i try to avoid hearings on mondays because i feel harassed having to face litigation at the start of the week.

when my husband was assigned away from home, mondays had become something that i dread. it means that my dear husband have to be away for 6 days again; it means not being able to see the mundane things that mark the tales of our family.

i will only learn to like mondays again when my dear husband goes back to work here in our hometown.
