1. We had our very last homestudy visit on Tuesday (which I wrote about earlier this week). It will take a little while for it to be finalized and reviewed and notarized...maybe a month. Yay!
2. On Thursday we went to get our Criminal Background Checks. This has been a big deal because we have not been able to find someone to accompany us to the courthouse in the middle of a work day and the people at the courthouse didn't want to notarize it. A friend found someone to help us and she came and was great! However, the lady working in the office was not so great. Do you remember Roz from Monsters' Inc?? THAT is the lady that was there to help us...seriously, they must have modeled her after the lady in the clerks' office. Even though I had called beforehand about bringing a notary she didn't like the idea of it. I explained the importance of the notarization and she said, "well, fine then....it's up to you." So we fill out this form and she takes it to a computer. It takes her like 10 seconds and she puts a big stamp on it and signs it. (This apparently is valued at $25 per check) So, our notary asks to see her badge or something like that....you know because a notary is affirming that the person is who they say they are. So, the lady says, "We don't HAVE badges in this office." My notary says, "oh." What the crap? I mean seriously, who refuses to show their id when working in a govnt. office. Ugh. Anyway, thankfully we had a great notary and she said, "I know her...I've seen her in here numerous times so I'll notarize it." Either way, we finally got the checks...they are not on the proper form but they'll have to do.
3. We tried to go swimming twice....only to arrive and be turned away because of some kid pooping in the pool. Why don't you just put swimming diapers on your kid? I mean really...why is this an issue?? If your kid is sick...then please don't take your kid swimming.
4. I tried to get my medical form filled out but apparently they have to prove that I don't have TB so I'm going next week to make sure! :)
5. I found out that I am going to be teaching at just one school next year! Last year I was splitting two schools and it was hard to drive each day and keep up with both schools' meetings, emails, records, testing, etc. I am super thankful that I am going to be at the school I am! I really really enjoy it and I'm excited about the team I will be working with.
6. My daughter is fighting naps.....and I don't like it. :(
7. She also asked me today how babies get into pregnant mommies' tummies!! Ahhh! My answer?? God puts the baby there! He made you and allowed you to grow in my tummy! Let's hope she doesn't ask anything else!
8. I got to see my BFF! from growning up! :) This past year she has been living super far away in Asia and we got to hang out! We met when we were two and I just love getting to spend time with her again...it's so amazing to me that God grows friendship in people's hearts and it lasts and lasts. She is way cool and Isabel had a good time telling her all about her imaginary friends.
9. I also got to hang out with one of my old college roomies!! I hadn't seen her in a year! Craziness! We decided we should hang out again before 12 months go by.
10. My mother-in-law is way cool. She has introduced me to the Spin Pin! It's this cool corkscrew pin thingie that you use to put in your hair to hold twists and buns and stuff. It replaces like 15 bobby pins in my hair! You get two of them. You just spin them into your bun clockwise and spin them counter clockwise to get them out!So there ya go! There's my update for the week! I hope y'all have a great weekend! I'm going to celebrate my grandpa's birthday and HOPEFULLY go swimming sometime!
