Mind Right Monday

Hey peeps! I know I'm a day late on the MRM but it's mainly because I had to work yesterday and by the time I got off I was tired and still needed to study. At any rate:

Here are a few goals I want to get achieved this week:

Goals:

• Ace my teaching project on Tuesday   We can actually check that off cause I did this afternoon!
• Study really hard for my exam this week
• Guzzle water like I'm dehydrated
• Clean the house
• Exercise at least 2x this week
• Date night with my love

Gratefuls:

• Life, health and strength
• Being in my right mind 
• Lewis and his concern for my success
• My "don't give a fudge" attitude toward my current class <---- this attitude is well needed right now! Not with my grade of course but with the subject matter and the instructor (at times) I'm so over this class.
• Sturdy support system
• Decorative couch pillows.... for my back when I'm couching and surfing the web

My plan WAS to go to a library or something and study but while I was in Chik-fil-la's drive-thru earlier my jeep decided to vomit and die right before I could pull up to pay and receive my food! Later I was told that it prolly overheated. Not only was I mad cause it happened, but I was embarrassed cause I was holding up a very long line and I had no way of starting my car and moving it out of the way. A customer in a car behind me and some employees had to push my car through......stopped me to pick up my food.........and then finish pushing me into an empty parking spot. 

I felt this . big 

It's been a very long time since I actually felt the emotion of embarrassment.

I laugh now, but I cried earlier...... 

So we'll see if I have transpo tomorrow; just pray it's not expensive.

Other than that...... I'm hoping to have a really great week!! How about you? Got any goals for the week? Are you grateful for anything you want to share?

Mind Right Monday

It's the beginning of the week and you should know by now (partly because I'm being so repetitious) that it's time again to shout out your goals and what you are grateful for this week!!! So without further adieu:
