Too much the early bird this morning

Good morning. So when I checked into the hotel yesterday, the lady that was taking my payment was training. The reason I say that is because there was a guy there saying "click here" and "do that" and "type this." When I was checked in, they told me that breakfast went from 6 to 9AM. So I got to sleep probably by like 1:30 in the morning last night, and set my alarm for just b4 8. Hit snooze until 8:30 and then got up and went down to breakfast wanting to be there b4 it stopped at 9. Here's the funny thing. I get down there and I see the hours. Breakfast stops at 9AM Monday through Friday, and stops at 10AM on the weekend. I was like "aw man, I could have slept later."

Oh well. Got me some biscuits and gravy, and some cranberry juice. I sat down with my plate and 2 cups of juice, and realized I had to use the microwave cuz the biscuits were cold. The gravy was hot, but cold biscuits, so yeah, I wanted to warm them up. I literally was away from my spot for about a minute, and I come back and some random guy had sat in my seat right in front of my juice and was eating his stuff. I was like "ok that's weird," grabbed my juice cups and went to a different table. In my head I was like "ok dude, did you not see that someone was already there?" There were other tables that were free but he picked my seat even though there were juice cups sitting there.

So, I admit I slept pretty good. Despite Super 8 being a cheap hotel, as a trucker it doesn't take much for me to be comfortable. Gotta enjoy the little things in life! This is the 2nd time I've stayed at this hotel. The last time, it was about a year ago with Erin and the girls. I was comfortable but Erin was all about how basic the hotel is. I'm like "yeah it's cheap but there's air conditioning, comfortable beds, breakfast, etc." It's always good to look at the positives. In life there are always too many things that are negative that tend to draw your focus. Take me for instance. We are struggling quite a bit financially, and just trying to survive. The wife and inlaws don't believe that I should be committing myself to trying to get a business off the ground online. However, the way I am looking at things is like this. Why settle for how things are currently, and just keep trying to do the best that I can in my current role as an OTR trucker. The way I see it is, no matter if I get my weekly income average up a bit and am more consistent with it out on the road, it'll never be enough. One week might be better, and the next week not so good, then the next week better again. So as an owner operator out here, it's a roller coaster. Good one week, stressed the next, bills paid sometimes, and have to make arrangements at other times.

The reason I'm going into business for myself and my family online is because I have so many hopes and dreams for us. My plans for my family are to not have to worry about how the bills will get paid, if we can afford to take time off to go on vacation, if we can afford go out on the town and do something as a family. I'm tired of not being able to afford to take more than just one day off in a week. I'm tired of having to call the bills and make payment arrangements, or paying rent a week or so late because we don't have it on the 1st. I'm tired of fighting with my wife because she partially lives in the past and compares my income now to when I was driving for Schneider and made an average of $1500 to $2000 a week. Where as, with my current carrier, they don't have the same amount of loads available as Schneider.
