The First Week (ish) with H

Things are still going very well.  I suspect some of this has to do with the fact that we have to get H enrolled into school.  First we were waiting on the placement agreement from her work, then my worker, then her worker, you get the picture.  We got that first thing yesterday morning, but her previous school hasn't yet faxed over the transcripts to the new school, and that's the last thing we're working on.

While we wait, there's been lots of me working at home (thankfully I can do this for a little while longer) and her watching TV or playing on the Xbox.  Neither of which bother me or my husband too much, since we know she needs the relaxing time to settle into the house, she's respectful of time and hasn't been demanding in anyway.  And when she DOES start school, we know she's going to be a little overwhelmed time-wise as she works to catch up and then dives proper-like into classes/assignments/ect.

So far, the biggest frustration has been waiting on paperwork - like an open-ended form so that we can take her five minutes away (across state lines).  It seems like such a small thing, but all our family lives on the other side of that state line that's just a few minutes from our house.  So, we have to have that form before we could legally take her just about anywhere we wanted to go - and we didn't get that until late Monday afternoon, which made that first weekend a little frustrating.
