2011 is a New (and Different) Year (we hope)

Tomorrow, my husband and I have a meeting with our 4th Foster Care Worker. Fourth. It's a little disheartening that it's taken this long to get a meeting set-up with her. Especially after I emailed her three or four times in the process of transferring from our previous worker and verifying our to do list, and she never once emailed me back. She called like two weeks ago and only mentioned that she'd seen the emails after I prodded about them, but didn't give an excuse to why she hadn't been in touch sooner.

Anyway. So this means that we've got a worker that I'm already feeling a bit antagonistic against and we've still got outstanding paperwork to do. Paperwork and the 2 web classes we have to do are on tonight's agenda.

Here's the list as it stands, with notes:

- Paper with Dimension for the Bedroom, and the window in the bedroom
- Copies of Matt's Drivers License and Insurance, Copy of my Drivers License and Insurance (doing this now at work to take home)
- Pet Vaccination Records for Sekhi & Sebastian (the Cats), Piper & Jazz (the Dogs) (Found the cat's, still need Jazz's.)
- Emergency Contact List still needs a hospital phone number (I think?)
- 3 Paystubs to prove Matt's employment (he can print these out at work today)
- Marriage License (So much easier to find than I thought it'd be.)
- Sample Menu (NEW from worker 12/2) (I imagine this is going to be fairly easy, I'll have to print out the form the third worker sent us to find out what they really want to know.)
- Vehicle Mechanical Check (NEW from worker 12/2) (Slightly annoyed about this requirement since I live in a state that does not require checks for vehicle licensing, so it's not something I have laying around, which means we have to spend time & money to get it done.)

Then there's the classes that still remain:
- CPR & First Aid training (someplace that will give us a physical paper certificate when we finish training)
- 2 classes through the website (Matt's done one of these, I haven't done either. Should only take an hour or so for each. Will have to track down the links to the site.)

I have ONE goal for this year. And that's to finish this process - the whole thing. I want to be licensed before the end of 2011.
