I called today and picked out Eshiva’s health plan. I got on the phone to the other one for the boys and re-faxed our paystubs and stuff. Somehow they got them for Eshiva’s but not the boys? Whatever. I think we have to pay 20$ per child per month, but I’m not positive. I haven’t gotten all the paperwork. They are also telling me it’ll go faster if I pre-pay, but I want to wait and make sure we’re approved rather than find out we’re not and wait for a refund. Knock on Wood, but I’m not planning to have any emergencies in the next 4 – 6 weeks, and no one is due for a well check for school. In other words, we’ve been without for five months, what’s one more.
Tomorrow morning we have an appt to finish the application for the MedWaiver for Malachai.
ARC is going to be coming once a week for ABA therapy, we’ll be paying less than 20$ a session. We’re waiting to find out if they will average this years pay stubs or if they need last years W2.
Eshiva is potty trained if she is not wearing anything. As soon as we put underpants or a pull up on her, she goes in it. It isn’t a case of “naked for the weekend” as when she’s naked, she uses the toilet. I’m not sure what to do about this. She doesn’t care if she sits in a wet or dirty diaper – oh, she cares if it’s wet undies, but she just peels out of them and goes on her way. In other words, if we’re out and she’s in undies she’ll still go in them. I’m not in a rush, it’s just irritating b/c she can, she just wont. I think it’s b/c she’s the “baby.”
I got in touch with an old friend of mine. I’m pretty excited. I am hoping he cleaned up his act and we can keep in touch this time. Our lives probably don’t fit together how they once did, but I’d totally be lying if I didn’t say I was excited at the prospect of getting the friendship back.
We went to the school supply store today (I had a coupon, yay!) and picked up a new chore chart, crayons, colored pencils, about fifty thousand sheets of practice writing paper with room on top to draw and some misc. things (like fun pencils, grips, etc..) and the kids made stories for me today.
I made potpie for dinner and it was delicious. I’m making bolognese sauce tomorrow, but there’s enough pie left for lunch!
I’ve taken some great photos in the past few days (well, great IMO, considering I took them spur of the moment laying down on the bed lol) that I need to post. Expect photo spam from me at some point.
