Mondays...they stink.  Especially when you wake up to realize that you don't have clean pants for your child.  UGH!  Thankfully a little fluffing up in the dryer worked today.  Then, another child decides he wants to be moody and not get ready for school and makes us almost late.  Then you get to work and the Keurig says it won't brew because it needs descaled. UGHHHH!  This is after a weekend of trying to scrounge together enough money to put in the bank by Monday so your automatic withdrawal for your loan payment doesn't bounce.  Some days I just want to go home curl up and forget reality. 

But wait...your morning starts to turn around.  Miraculously if you push enough buttons the Keurig will work again! Yay for Coffee!!

Then you check your checking account and not only do you have enough money for the loan payment, but your paypal reward from Swagbucks hit your account!  Hello Monday...I am ready for you! Debt...you are going down this week!
