I like that there is a place to write. It's like a little personal diary. 

Joey's alarm went off at 3am and I have been up since. Didn't get much sleep. He left about an hour ago for Nashville so it's back to just the kids and me this week. I forgot to get the trash out last night so I was out there getting soaked trying to get the garbage cans to the street. It's pouring and a huge storm is over us. It's the kind of weather that makes you want to curl up under the covers and go back to sleep. If it weren't for this competition, I must say that is exactly what I would have done. I need this to stay on track. I need this to prove to myself I can do it. The kids online school starts in 2 hours so I am proud that I am up and won't be rushing if I went back to sleep like I normally would. I was going to go to the gym this morning, but now that it's already almost 6am, I am going to work out at home. I didn't want the storm to deter me, but it actually is giving me the incentive to do my own workout at home and also for PE class today, we will do Hip Hop Abs. So it's all good. 

I really need friends. We relocated to Tennessee and I hardly know anyone here. I hope this game helps me to be able to talk to others and form friendships. I am with the children all the time, but I really need some adults right now. 

Gonna start my day and hope we all have a great first day!
