THE FACES OF MONDAY, DOXIE STYLE

Which one do you identify with today?  Happy Monday and happy week, FURiends!

 

WELCOME TO A NEW WEEK, DOXIE STYLE

 Yes, it’s Monday, all right. Where I live, we woke up to a chilly, rainy day, which is supposed to last most of the day.

However, since I’m a self-avowed pluviophile, I don’t mind at all!

Happy Monday, FURiends!

DIS AN’ DAT

Monday has arrived again! Hope you had a great weekend. Here are some “typical Monday” images, no captions necessary:

 Have a lovely week, FURiends!

MONDAY, IS THAT YOU?

 Yes, it is! Mondays are much more fun since I retired from  teaching nine years ago. Now don’t get me wrong: I loved my teaching career, which was a very rewarding and worthwhile calling. And I’ve found that facing classes of teens on a daily basis has prepared me for just about anything, lol.

Life often throws us curves and  difficulties, but that can make us appreciate the good times. I pray that  you have many good things in your life as well!

Happy Monday, doxie lovers ♥️

MONDAY HAS ARRIVED!

 Mondays are fine, especially since I retired, lol. These doxies below seem to feel differently:

Happy Monday, anyway! 

MONDAY AGAIN??

Yes, it’s Monday again, and July is marching right along! Do you realize that 2022 is more than half over already? Before long, it will be time for Christmas shopping—stores are putting out Christmas decorations earlier every year to take advantage of a longer shopping season.

A local county where my husband substitute teaches starts back to school August 1st! When I was in school in the last century (ha), we never began the school year until after Labor Day. There’s a trend here: earlier and earlier.

And here I am, stuck in an older body that says “later and later,” lol.

In any case, have a great week, doxie lovers!

MONDAY: DOXIE ATTITUDES

 We all have different attitudes toward Mondays because there are so many variables:

•Am I overtired from doing too much over the weekend?

•Am I returning to work after vacation?

•Did I sleep poorly last night?

•Am I feeling unwell?

•Am I simply not a morning person?

•Do I feel wonderful, ready to grate on everyone’s nerves today? 😂

These doxies reflect how many of us feel on Mondays:

I can no longer relate since I’m retired! Have a great week!

MONDAY (JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW)

Now that I'm retired, MONDAYS aren't nearly as difficult as they were when I worked full time. As a teacher, I had to face class after class of teens who had had too much fun on the weekend, so they had trouble staying awake and paying attention in class. That was just on Mondays.

On TUESDAYS, they were more awake, which posed a different set of problems. Some wanted to be class clowns, which was typically "unfunny" when I was trying to teach Shakespeare or sentence diagramming.

WEDNESDAYS, otherwise known as "hump day" (Ya know what day it is??) gave students renewed energy to make it to the weekend and all their (too many, I believe) activities that would take the wind out of their sails yet again.

Ah, THURSDAYS, a.k.a. the day before Friday! Students were usually back into the routine of the school week, even paying attention, albeit begrudgingly. They would actually deign to study for announced tests.

FRIDAYS were every student's favorite: we often had pep rallies near the end of the day to pump everyone up for the Friday night games, but these wreaked havoc on a teacher's carefully-laid lesson plans for that day. 

Was it really as bad as all that? Sometimes no, sometimes yes, often much more difficult. But such is the career of teaching. And I loved it. Sometimes I miss it, but I am very happy in retirement, spending lots of time with the grands and granddawgs. Life is good.
