             Mine was yesterday…I am kind of like Garfield, I hate Mondays.  Work was just plain Monday hectic, chased my tail all day at the office.  On the way home, hubby murdered a squirrel in the road.  Okay, okay, I know there are tons of them and this one won’t make a dent, but he could have slowed down and not hit it at all.  Let’s just say that I let him know how I felt and he won’t be doing that again with me in the car.  Really, he did feel bad about it and kept apologizing.  I told him to tell it to the squirrel.

            We got home to find that the murder victim’s friends had pulled over and chewed up my sunflowers.  No real tragedy there, but the fallen stock knocked a bloom off my clematis.  Went out to the veggie patch to find a major broken limb on one of my tomatoes.  We had a pretty good storm yesterday and I am sure the wind took it down. 

            Next, I was walking around the pond to see my latest lily bloom and I think the murderer rigged one of the flagstones at the edge of the pond to try to get rid of his only witness to the crime.  You know how everything moves in slow motion in a fall?  Well that is what it was like, seemed to take forever!  The flagstone landed on my foot and it took quite a bit of slipping and sliding to get myself up outta there.  Luckily, there were no floating fish bodies, just my big old behind taking a dip.  Of course I really got razed by hubby…grrrrr.

            Took a shower to wash off the pond scum, made dinner, took two Excedrin migraine and went to bed.  Note:  when you need to take an aspirin for the pain caused by a flagstone that hit your foot as you fell in your pond, DON’T use migraine formula at bed time…it contains caffeine.  So on top of the rest of my lovely Monday, I did not sleep at all.  Hope y’all had a better day.
