Not going to get complacent

It's been a while since I wrote on this, so I figure it's as good a time as any to get caught up in what's going on.

I have a driver's license now, and insurance, so I can drive myself places. That's good. I'm still freelancing for the paper, though I haven't gotten paid, and I'm hoping it will happen soon, because it will determine whether I get to go see Isaac and Savannah this Christmas.

I am working out about three to four days a week. I need to lose more weight; as I haven't lost much at this point.

I have an interview with the IRS tomorrow for a temporary job, and I'm a bit nervous for some reason. I need to make money so I can go be with the kids permanently.

My family has been very kind to me in letting me stay with them. I hope they know that. If they don't, I have to be sure and tell them.

I said I don't want to get complacent, because there are a number of things I still must do before leaving town: Earn more money, sign up for school and lose more weight. I got Isaac's report card from his teacher, and I would call it a middling effort. I need to be more in contact with his teacher so I can help him. I want him to succeed.

I also want to help him lose weight. I need to be there for him and for Savannah. I still miss them much, and being away from them makes me feel like I don't belong anywhere else but right by their side.
