Everything seemed to go well at the social workers office. I have to turn in a stack of paperwork to the social worker and then get fingerprints done and clear the background check. I asked how long that usually took, she said it really varies on if they are short handed or have a lot of background checks. She has heard of cases taking 2 mos to clear or as fast as a couple of days. When I did it for the school district it only took 2 days so I'm hoping it will be fast, so we can get the offical approval.
I really don't understand why they don't share the fingerprint information(I've done them for my old daycare job, and girls scouts as well as the school district). I would think that would help prevent things from slipping thru the cracks. Of course that might be too easy.
Friday:
I'm really tired this week, the heat is really bugging me, we do not have A/C. However, I'm pretty sure it's the having to leave the house and hour earlier then last year... Homework has just started, Katie has more homework, she also switched instruments, so that means extra practicing. Then there is the normal stuff that needs slipped in, showers, laundry, dinner, etc. Jeff is helping where he can. We just need to get a routine down. The afternoons tend to be smoother. Ally gets out 15 mins before Katie, it takes us about 7-10 mins to get to the car and get everyone buckled, but it takes Katie about 15 mins to come out, as she has to get her instrument out of the lockers. She is only 1.5 miles away from Ally, so we have easily been able to go and grab Katie.
Last night was another adventure. We have a night light that is having issues and likes to pop on for about 30 mins then go out for 40 mins. Well at 1:16am it went off and even though Ally has a night light in her room, she noticed. So into our bed she crawled, but then she realized our room is even darker then her room with it off (since we have no night light). So 30 mins later she wanted back in her bed. Meaning of course, I had to get up and tuck her back in.
Fast forward to 3am. Jeff hears a noise outside. So he flips on the outside light, which then shines into our room and both girls rooms. See's nothing. Then 5 mins later he's back looking outside with the light off...the kiddie pool is moving but there is no wind. Lights go back on, he sees a tail. 10 mins later he sees a raccoon. Then about 10 mins after we now have 3 raccoons in our backyard.
Jeff, of course, thinks this is cool. Me, not so much, and I'm pissed that he keeps putting the light on. It brings me back about 5 years and the reason we no longer have the cat/dog door open. One night we awoke to growling and our then 3 cats surrounding a raccoon in our livingroom, he wanted their cat food. Again Jeff thought this was totally cool. Me, I was getting ready to call animal control.
Hopefully tonight will be quieter,
Mary
