OK, not really a manic Monday but a Monday just the same. Not a good one, though.
Seriously, some days need a do-over button. I woke up this morning EARLY as in it was still dark outside early because I had a nightmare. I don’t often have such vivid dreams and I NEVER dream in Spanish. But, last night I dreamt I was being chased by a Mexican mafia with machine guns yelling “Fumar” at me. No, I don’t speak Spanish. I would have gotten away (because I snuck out of the building they had taken over) but I tried to help somone else who had gotten away. Only she made me wait while the taco stand finished her order. And by the time her order was done the National Guard had blocked off the streets and the Mexican mafia was coming again. The dream went on from there but. Dude, it was weird. I woke up in the middle confused and couldn’t get back to sleep for a long time. Finally did and my alarm went off. Too early. My entire day was off.
Then youth group started today. I coordinated the feeding and handling of about 500 middle schoolers and their families. No revolts other than the three kids who snuck some extra Mountain Dew and were bouncing off the walls and driving me crazy. I’m exhausted. Truthfully, the evening went very well, if I do say so myself. 
Part of my weirdness today is that I forgot to eat. 
I ran out of cereal and ended up not eating breakfast (not intentionally and not a good thing). My assistant picked up a coffee for me on her way in this morning and around 1:00PM I made a salad because I realized I hadn’t eaten anything. Really, not a good day all around.
I’m still in a funk, snapped at my dad yesterday over something that wasn’t even his fault, really. Called my Grandma this morning to wish her a Happy Birthday but she didn’t want to talk.
Yeah, just a funky Monday. And, to top it off I stopped at the market on the way home to get cereal for tomorrow morning and FORGOT POPCORN. Yeah, it’s one of those weeks.
Here’s my final tally for the GAG week 2 challenge.

Oh man – I hope that today is better than yesterday. I can’t imagine feeding 500 children and their families. You must have been exhausted.
I hope you got good rest last night!
