Why does it feel like there are more Mondays than Fridays?

~Sigh~
Why are Mondays bad? Because we expect them to be? Why, when having a bad day does someone say they are having "A Monday"?
Mondays are always chaotic in our house. We've normally slept in on the weekend and have a hard time getting motivated on Mondays. We get up at 6:30, nag kids to eat, get them breakfast, nag them to get dressed, tell kids what they are wearing is inappropriate/dirty, redress kids, pack snacks and lunches, find scattered backpack items, send Steven off to the city bus stop at 7:40, walk Noah to school (2 blocks away) at 8:15. At this point I either a)take myself to work or b)go home to tackle the daily needs (or, sit on facebook for 2 hours).

Sometimes I have to work later in the day, and Andrea (daycare lady) picks Noah up from school. He's out at 11am because he's in kindergarden, and Steven is in high school and doesn't get home till 3:30. Which means, on my days off, I have a precious few hours to myself and the last thing I want to do is clean!

My children are just like yours.
~They leave their laundry on their bedroom floors, or better yet on the floor in the laundry room in front of the hamper.
~They don't pick up their millions of toys until I wave a black garbage bag like a flag of defeat.
~They would rather play/draw/do homework in the living room than anywhere else in the house.
~If I ever want to know where they are all I have to do is be on the phone and they magically appear asking millions of questions.
~They fart and laugh, like hyenas.
~They always think they can get away with hiding candy in the rooms even though they have both been busted before.
~They tattle, tease, scare, wrestle with, beat on, and annoy eachother and I remind them that one day they will appreciate having a brother.
They are not perfect and that's ok, because perfect is boring!

2 funny quotes of the day, both from Noah (age 5)
~*me knocking on bathroom door* "What are you doing? Unlock the door! Am I going to be scraping toothpaste off the ceiling again?"
*Noah* "Mom get lost I'm takin a crap"
*Me* "Ooooooooook, enough hanging out at the shop with your dad!"

And then:
"Mom, Open Season 2 comes out tomorrow right?"
"Yes, it sure does"
"Ok"
20 minutes later
"Mom, it's Chinese New Year today right?"
"Yup"
"And it's already tomorrow in China right?"
"Yup"
"So they have already seen Open Season 2 in China right mom?"
"Oh I suppose......"
