The 15 things I did in 3 hours

This week Isa is off at summer camp for 3 hours each morning. Until this morning, I had no idea how much I could do in 3 hours! Here's how it went down:

1. Dropped off sweet girl....after they peeled her off of my legs! She begged and pleaded for me to let her stay with me. She has been two other days this week and was totally fine. If she had stayed with me there is no way I would have accomplished all that I did for our dossier. So, the Lord is good and our preschool has the sweetest teachers. They carefully distracted Isabel by giving her a cool chore to do and she was in! drop off: arrived at 8:50...didn't leave until 9:00

2. Drove the speed limit :) over to the doctor's office for my 9:15am appt. to have my TB skin test read. NO TB! AND the nurse was awesome to get my 2 medical forms signed by my doctor. She EVEN found a notary in the office that seemed to be busy at first but when my awesome nurse sweetly told her what she needed, the notary got up and did her thing!

3. Called the Pediatrician's office again for that medical form...still not ready but they will get it finished and call ASAP.

4. Realize that I don't have the husband's employment verification letter and that it is in his car at HIS work all the way across town! Head straight there...9:40am.

5. Arrive and pick up letters. While I'm there I talk to my dad and make some copies of things since our copier is broken.

6. Off again! Stop by the bank to make a deposit to our adoption account!

7. Next stop: Goin' Postal to mail my new FBI fingerprints. ETA: 10:40am. Way cool British owner is super helpful and gives me a great deal to send everything safely FedEx.

8. Realize that I had no breakfast and could eat my hand at this point. So, I walk across to the parking lot to Panera! I even got a FREE strawberry scone! Oh, and an iced latte!

9. Stop by friend's house to say hey and debrief before next pick up. 11:15

10. Pediatrican calls...plan to go get letter! 11:40

11. Pick up baby girl right at 12:00pm! She had a great day!

12. Drive over to Pediatrican's office and pick up letter. 12:15

13. 12:30 Make it to drop off point to meet up with Social Worker to turn over the last documents needed to complete our homestudy!! She says CONGRATS and we're all finished. She's gonna send it off to get it all official and fancy.

14. Sit back down in car and take a deep breath.

15. Chick-fil-A drive-thru and HOME!


I'm off to take a nap. :)

  4. Wow! What a day for sure!! Thank you for the comment on my blog. You are so sweet. :) Yes yes yes do the puzzle fund raiser! I honestly think every adoptive family should do one! Totally incredible for your child to have as a memento, plus it helps bring in some funds. I love the visual and it will be so much fun to be apart of other peoples "puzzles" as well. :)
