The cure for a grumpy Monday morning.

Had one of those mornings where it was all but impossible to get Simon out the door to school. He was frustrated; I was frustrated. I grumbled all the way home and pretty much just wanted to go back to bed.


So before starting work I checked out Zen Habits and he has listed his 10 Favorite You Tube Videos. Watching them made me laugh out loud (some funnier than others) - totally just what I needed on this very rainy Monday morning.


Any other funny favorites?

    Not sure HOW I could beat that YouTube's #1 -- Great First Dance at a Wedding" it totally cracks me up everytime I watch it.
    Hang in there...your Monday will get better -- it's gonna be a soggy one though!

    Have you seen the "mom song" sung to the William Tell Overture? (Sorry, I have no idea how to link to it).
    For a mom, it's the funniest thing on you tube...hands down. It will make your day...especially after a rough morning.
    Enjoy!

    I have to agree about the Mom song...my mom sent it to me because of the name of my blog...and this one is funny of my son hanging a spoon from his nose, then trying to pick it.

    There is just something about other people laughing that gets me doing the same. And since it is a baby, it's even better. Have you seen it?

    Ali,
    I love the mom song. It was going around in a few emails so I posted it to youtube a while ago for my friends. Heres the link...

    It makes me laugh and feel not so alone in the process of the days events.
    My sister and I used to send eachother the Kitty cat dance as a joke when we are having a low day. It is really silly and wierd but something about a cat dancing around is just funny and wrong :)

    I'm a big fan of lolcats on days like that. They just make me giggle. This one is my favorite site: http://www.icanhascheezburger.com

    OK, here are my three favorites...

    Go White Boy -- Crazy, Funky Trombone
    www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCOPNuuGeKA
    Kick His Ass
    None of these are at all gross or X-rated. I've been laughing like Crazy at Old Gregg for the last week and now my husband and I are quoting it, so thanks to your ladies weekend for that!

    THIS will give you a little pick me up. In fact, now when I watch this, I have to get out of my seat and dance along with her.
    :) Happy Monday Ali!

    Oops! I guess you can see I didn't watch the top 10 before posting. How about this Japanese commercial--especially great for photographers.

    My vote for funniest youtube video is Old Greg- I saw it for the first time when Cathy Z posted it on her site. My entire family finds ways to quote it at the most opportune times! Thanksgiving 2007 will be remembered for the great food, wonderful family togetherness and Old Greg impressions!
    Hope your morning gets better!

    We seem to have that Monday every other week-today was good. Here's hoping that after school will be much better.

    Thanks Ali...must be something in the air. Just caught myself being all grumpish towards my son. Time to unwind so that I can un-whine (heh-heh).

    I love the Numa Numa guy!! My kids love dancing to this, and is really just fun! The original is on the old side, but in my opinion a classic.
    Human Tetris is also hysterical....I watch thinking I could actually do this...lol.
