Friday at Last!

Made it!
What a week! I know that other moms have away-from-home jobs and they do
this every week, but this week looked like a hurdle last Friday evening.
Saturday clipped along nicely until we got a phone call from our SW who
was hard at work on our home study. "I'm not finding the boys' criminal
records clearances"
"Umm, no, we didn't need to do them, they are not 18"
"Uh, yes you do, if they are over 14 we need the State Police clearance
and child-line child abuse clearance, I think we can get them expedited,
I'll let you know on Monday. Oh, and what date did hubby go for his
medical? The date says 1/10/11. I hope that is wrong"
Quick search of my copies showed that hubby's Dr had indeed wrote the
wrong year on both medical forms...although she had the correct date for
the blood work.
Thank goodness she saw that BEFORE we authenticated and notarized that
document.
So I tried not to worry about paper work and clearances over Sunday.
Monday we hit the ground running....Joe's birthday party at school, much
food to prepare...therapy appointments and home after 4PM.
Did get a call from our SW during the day with instructions on how to
expedite paperwork for the clearances.
Tues AM saw me at the PO the minute it opened...sent everything off
Priority with tracking numbers.
Raced to Ben's school to teach CPR and First Aid for mini-terms.
Home by lunch time, took a 30 min nap (luxury) Quilted a bit on Faith's
quilt
By 6PM back down the road to teach another CPR and First Aid re-cert
class for the first aid team at hubby's work...home by 9PM
Wed- Teach again...girls to dentist in the afternoon ...Check the
tracking #'s for the 2 packages...one delivered, the other ...they
delivered a NOTICE and are holding my priority package at the PO??!!
Hope that status changes because it also says if no one picks it up in
15 days they WILL SEND IT BACK TO ME! quiet evening.
Thurs- Teach in the AM Finish quilting Faith's quilt. Joe to
therapy...slap supper on table (sorry guys) and teach another small
class 6:30 check status of my package...still the same....find a phone
# will call in AM. Market job boss called "Can you work tomorrow?"
Fri- Have a few minutes before the class starts- call phone # for state
PD...no answer...teach class... try calling again...still no answer.
Make and sell hoagies the rest of the day...so relaxing! Check
tracking # again tonite...still the same message. Two nice checks in
the mail for CPR and First Aid classes from last week...yaay!
Not sure how working moms do this...I wouldn't make it...(when written
down this list looks piddly)! The children pitched in wonderfully and
everyone had clean clothes and food to eat. Next week I have 4 classes
scheduled and I'm thankful for the Lord's provision...maybe the $1500 we
need to get our home study approved will show up in the checking account
after all!
