Monday, the WORST day of the week.

So my Monday starts at 7:00 when I wake up and ends when I get home at 6:30. Except, of course, I have to watch Pretty Little Liars at 7:00. THEN my day is over.

I drive to school, fight for a parking spot, run from one class to another all day and then briskly walk back to my car in the parking lot. I then proceed to FLY (carefully: avoiding police) to work, spend 3 lovely hours with the children at work, and finally go home and cook dinner.

But, today was different. Today was a terrific Monday. When I got to the parking lot, I didn't have to fight to the death or play chicken with another car to obtain my parking spot. I didn't have to park at a meter and I didn't even have to park in the BFE parking lot that only 5 people even know exists. I found a nice, close spot!
^^Awesome moment #1 
My lab in the morning was cancelled and then I went to my 3 hour Computer Application for Journalists class. Keep in mind, this class is 3 hours of a mixture of lecture and work-mind numbing, not gonna lie. We usually have about an hour to work on an assignment that is due at the end of class and then an additional assignment due the following Monday. WELL, today I finished the in-class assignment in 10 minutes and almost completed next Monday's assignment.
^^Awesome moment #2 
My allergies were awful all day. I carried enough tissues in my pocket to feed all of China, kind of like my grandmother does. Funny enough, I also had peppermints filling the other pocket...like my grandmother. The fact that my joints ached all day makes this whole "like my grandmother" thing seem like a reality. But anyway, I chose not to take my kids outside at work today. And it's a good thing!! It started sprinkling. Only in Texas can it be 65 degrees all weekend and -5 degrees the following Wednesday... Instead, we played basketball in the gym and practiced our poetry. (..because it's poetry week, not because I enjoy torturing my children) It was actually an incredibly quick, enjoyable workday!
^^Awesome moment #3
And finally, I returned home after stopping for some much needed Chick-fil-A for dinner. I figured since it wasn't my typical horrible Monday, I shouldn't have my typical home-cooked dinner. Great choice! I think I lost like 1 pound when I was sick this week so I needed to put it back on. Then I ate my dinner and watched Pretty Little Liars. I really need to remember not to shave on Monday mornings because I always get goosebumps all over my body when I watch that darn show. If you don't watch it, don't judge me. You couldn't possibly understand!
^^Awesome moment #4

So, for a Monday, 4 "awesome moments" isn't too shabby. 

Last but not least, I will introduce the quote of the day. Basically, these will be among the funniest, saddest, strangest, or just plain ridiculous things I've heard during the day.

"Why you are just the prettiest little white thing 

I've seen in these parts all day long!"

-Strange Old Lady at Chick-Fil-A

Welcome to my blog!

My days are spent at school and work, but in between these wonderful occasions, my mind runs wild. Often times there are so many thoughts buzzing through my brain that I can't contain them all. If you know me at all, you know that I will share my thoughts openly. They don't always make sense to people who can't read my mind, which pretty much includes everyone since mind reading is nonexistent, but I express them to the best of my ability. Having said that, trying to expose my bewildering though process is not one of my strongest talents, but it does provide some entertainment for those who try to listen.

My free time, which comes in spurts, is usually spent with friends. The way I see it, I want to look back on my life one day and be happy with the choices I have made. I don't want to live with regrets; I don't want to grow up and think "I wish I had.." or "I wish I hadn't...".

I think everything happens for a reason! God has a plan for me. Even though I don't know what that plan is, and most of the time I wish I did, I try my best to understand that everything (good and bad) that happens in my life will lead me down the path God wants for me. I have been betrayed by people who were important to me and I couldn't see any reason to have to go through that kind of pain. But now that I am in such a wonderful place and have met such wonderful people, it all falls into place. That God is such a funny character. I'm really glad he has a sense of humor! Life would be pretty dull if he didn't.

Prepare for random stories about the nonsense that has occurred during my days and the blubbering sob stories that I have found purpose in. I promise not to bore you to death, but I guess if you find it boring, you can read it before bed and sleep peacefully! My gift to you...
