After 3:00 pm every Sunday I start to feel crummy and cranky. I feel like the weekend is wasted. I don’t want to do my laundry. I don’t want to prepare the salad and vegetables for the week. I don’t want to move. I want to stay in bed all afternoon.
Sounds like the description of a fun person to be around, right?
Or maybe it sounds like the description of what everyone feels like before going back to work on Monday!

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I am sitting here right now, grumpy and dreading tomorrow morning. I go through this ritual every Sunday. I finally tore myself away from E! this afternoon and made myself get out of bed at about 4 p.m., and I also just made Andrew go to Dairy Queen to ease the Sunday night pain!
that sounds like it’s time for a new job! 🙁
Megan – I usually have to take a nap on Sundays between 2-5 or I feel incredibly cranky all day… and I never feel like getting out of bed! Sometimes we eat out on Sundays to feel better about starting the week!
sizzle – It is not that I dread work – I don’t mind it when I am there! I just dread the weekend ending, feeling like I accomplished nothing…
I think we all have this feeling. I always think “If I had just one more day in the weekend….”, I would get more things done at home. Of course, I would get more done at home if I didn’t spend so much time on the sofa on Sundays…
Uh yeah, so I was a lazy ass all day today…HA! I didn’t leave my room before 4:30 PM except once just to make me some breakfast. The rest of the day I either did random stuff on the computer in my room to waste time, or I watched recorded episodes of my shows from the week while lying in bed. You would have thought I was sick…nope.
Yes, I too hate the thought of feeling like I didn’t accomplish anything on a day off….
Oh well…there’s always next weekend, right?! 😉
When I was young, I could never understand why my mom was so sad and seemingly depressed on Sundays. I thought it had to do with not going to church or something.
Now that I’m an adult I TOTALLY understand the Sunday blues! (E. suggested we add an 8th day to the week but I said no, that will just mean employers will try to squeeze another day of work out of us!!)
Robin – That is what I have been saying too! Why can’t every weekend be a 3-day weekend! But I spend Sunday on the couch/bed as well 😉
Kimberly – but isn’t that the perfect Sunday?! I think we all DESERVE a day to act like that! (I always think “next weekend…” too! 😉 )
diane – The 8th day will not work. We need to go to a 4-day work week! 😉
I usually try to do all of my laundry and other stuff early on Saturday morning but I tell you what…I still get sorta gloomy around 5pm on Sunday nights…I always have.
LOL I feel like that every day right now!
Salad and vegetables “for the week”??? Don’t they wilt by Thursday?
i get the sunday blues too… i thought it was just me but now i’m glad to know i’m not the only one who dreads mondays!!
I think it is a common illness that sweeps the country on Sunday’s 🙂 Some are immune to it but only a very few!!!
Believe it or not, right around 3 p.m. Sunday is when I start getting EXCITED about going to work the next day! But it’s also when I realize I haven’t done a damn thing to prepare for the work week, and I have to rush around madly doing laundry and such.
Hilly – i should try getting things done earlier. Maybe it would help.
Kyra – uh oh! Is it the crazy weather?
kapgar – they are just cut up veggies and salad – they are usually good for the whole week 🙂
CourtneyInControl – I think it’s almost everyone!
Felicia – I didn’t think anyone was immune to it until I read SJ’s commente!
SJ – Someday I’ll be that way… someday!
