"After spending a great weekend doing everything my 2-year-old son wanted to do from swimming at the Kroc Center to eating at his favorite pizza place," e-mails Stacy Hudson, NIC Press Room, "I dropped him off with his care provider Monday morning as he clung to my neck and wailed 'No Mama, nooooo!' Like tearing off a band aid, I peeled him off me and left as quickly as I could to decrease the trauma, for both him and I. But I was still distraught over why all of a sudden this child that doesn’t care if his mom heads off to Timbuktu for a month, much less drops him off for a workday, was suddenly suffering from such separation anxiety. I texted my husband seeking comfort and got this reply… 'He’ll be OK. Just had a really good weekend.' Which begs the question, if we have a crummy weekend, do Monday mornings get easier?

Question: What do you think? Is it easier to come back to work on Monday after you've had a bad weekend? Or a good one?
