I was certain this week was going to be a very hectic week. Not only did I have to get Wendall from OKC, but I had to get all three kids enrolled in a new school. And that is just the tip of the iceberg…I still had to worry about going to apply for medical assistance and getting myself prepared for school. Oh and I couldnt shake this fear of Riley’s new teacher not being patient or understanding of what he is currently going through. Sigh. Well, anyway…I got Liv and Riley enrolled yesterday and planned on getting Wendall enrolled today. That all went well except we were not given Riley and Livia’s teacher names until today while Wendall wont officially be enrolled until tomorrow.
When we enrolled Riley yesterday, the receptionist informed us that his teacher will be decided by the principal but she will recommened that Riley be put with the teacher who is also a doctor. The receptionist had observed Riley and his tics and felt that would be the best match. When we arrived at his school today, we got lost in the sea of families who were waiting for teacher assigments. Thankfully, the receptionist saw us and pulled us aside. She whispered that Riley got the Dr/teacher who was in room 40 and she then pointed us in the right direction. So, Riley was excited to be the first to meet his teacher but the introduction went by so quickly, I am going to have to email her to give her a heads up. I am quite sure she picked up on Riley’s eeking but what about his head jerk, or the scab picking, or the nose picking?! Yep, I am still nervous as can be.
After we got Riley acquainted with his school, I drove everyone over to Liv’s school. We got her scheduled and learned that she will be only switching two classes. Liv found her locker assignment as we were searching for her two classrooms. I think she was dissappointed about only have two classrooms that were right across the hall from each other. I told her, “At least you dont have to worry about getting lost. Oh look! The bathroom is right there too.” So much for her wandering the halls.
So, “two down, one to go”, was all that I could think of as we headed over to Wendall’s school. We were not so lucky with our previous up-front parking and we had to park in the far end of the parking lot. Now, if I were wearing shorts, this would not have bothered me that much. However, I decided to wear jeans today because I assummed we would be inside for the most part. Yeah. Needless to say, I was sweaty and embarrassed, However, embarrassment turned into something far more sinister once I realized the long line that awaited us inside. Thankfully, a parent volunteer took us under her wing and walked us through the enrollments steps. Im not sure if she was willing to do that because she knew that we were not going to be able to finish everything today due to a broken computer or because she was bored with helping the other whiny. over-heated parents. Well, whatever the reason, I am sitting here right now grateful as can be that I am almost done with enrollement.
So, I made a little progress this week with the kids enrollment. I also scheduled an appointment with the pediatrician so we can get a referral to a neurologist. Riley and Liv officially ended their counseling and all other dr appointments have been scheduled. Whew. Oh wait…I still need to apply for medical. grrrrr
