Hi Ang1974,

This is a wonderful chapter. The chapter opens with the speaker waking up at the beginning of a new day. The reader is wondering what the speaker will be facing that day and will read on to find out more. This is a fantastic opening hook. The detail puts the reader all the way into the chapter. They get a good sense of the relationships in the speaker's life and what she worries about. There is no dialogue but it is not needed here. The chapter is well paced. It moves fast enough to keep all the reader's attention, yet it moves slowly enough to allow the reader to easily follow what is going on in the chapter. I did come across one structural issue that needs your attention:

1)You have neglected to either double space or indent between paragraphs. You should remember to consistently do this to keep your writing clear for your reader.

The characterization is fully developed and believable. The chapter concentrates on the speaker, and she comes across as a real person. Great job.
