I feel terribly anxious on Sundays because after a long job search, I finally landed something in my field, with decent pay. But it is a temp job for one year, so I feel like every day is a job interview, because although this job cannot be extended, I need to be networking and positioning for a new job here somewhere else in this huge agency.

Monday is one of my most unproductive days. I probably spend the whole morning getting myself back to work mode, and try not to have meetings on Monday am.

I assume she means it's stressful worrying about work while being with her kids. You've never experienced that?

Yes, I assume that is what she is saying. I can relate. I had so much fun with DS this weekend, but once Sunday night approached, my stomach was turning and my mind kept creeping back to work.

Yes, I used to get this all time time. I switched jobs and the issue went away.
