- We have been at home for a solid week due to icy roads. I did venture out yesterday to Mocksville for a quick trip to my office and for E doctor’s appointment. We have huge areas of ice on the roads. Both school districts were closed on Monday and have had four days of remote work days. We are expecting a snow storm starting tonight and going through Sunday. I am anticipating more weather closure and delays through Tuesday of next week. We will see how things go.
- I am starting to feel overwhelmed in the foster care process. Plus definitely overwhelmed with day to day stuff. Today alone, I talked to E’s guardian ad lieu as did he. I had a lengthy conversation with both his caseworker and the caseworker supervisor. I also had a text conversation with the social worker who does visitations. In addition, E had a virtual speech session as well. I also talked with the person who has one of his siblings. I also received and completed a packet of paperwork from a third social worker this one in charge of the licensure process.
- In preparation for the upcoming snow event, I had Matt pick up an order from Walmart on Thursday including milk and I did a Dollar General delivery this morning. I did check prices before ordering from DG, the only item that was more expensive at DG was the coffee K cups. We are continuing to eat alot of food from our freezers and pantry but we have spent around $500 this month.
- To add to the adventure today, I decided to purchase a used futon. We have placed it in our bedroom and it will be a great place for Braxton to sleep when he decides to hang out with us. Zach and I went and picked it up, he cleared the driveway of most of the ice
- One of my goals for the weekend is to get our taxes for 2025 figured out!
