End of the First Week

It is the end of the first week and what a week...We are starting our schedule today..Sandra started school today...She was very nervous..So was I..We will have alot of homework and language work when she gets home...My mom is doing well..We have two doctors appointments coming up along with me starting back with the chiropractor...and on Friday...I AM GOING DIVING...I am excited..It has been 5 months since I have had a good salt water soak..My dive buddy and I are going to Jupiter for the day..We will leave about 5am and return around 6pm..Hap will pick Sandra up from school on that day...My mom has had a home health care person staying with her 24 hours aday..But I think next week we are going to drop that down to just a night person for a couple of weeks and then back to a regular routine for her too...She was just scared but she is about as normal as I could ask for...My house is in need of a purging...When I left I knew it was time but after returning from living with nothing for 5 months it is a must now...I have way to much stuff...I have already starting giving it away and what is left I will yard sale...This will not happen overnight because it is years of build up so it will take awhile...But oh how nice when it is through...Sandra is adjusting well...Sometimes it seems like to well...But when her language understanding improves we will work on that...She will have the counselor at school with the translator to help so that will be good for now...Hap is very happy to have his family back...I have seen my son more in the last week then in the past 3 years...So the family is coming together...I will try and post every few days...I dont want to lose track of this as later it will help when I decided what I am going to do with all this info...I will be trying to contact Carlos later today...I have not heard anything from Denver so I think I need to push that along if possible...Thank you again for all the support over the last few months...Oh yea...Yesterday at church they had 30 minutes before church started as a welcome home time for me and Sandra...We got alot of wonderful gift cards and cash...Even for Publix..So this was a great surprise...Sandra was talking to a friend who was adopted a couple of years ago last night telling her how happy she was..How much she likes her new grandmother..my mom..and everything...
Ok..Today is the 15th and I just realized that I had two drafts that I had not finished so I published the other one and I will try and round things out with this one and get back to blogging...It is now the end of the second week..She has done GREAT in school this week..She even went to Saturday school..I recieved a phone call and email this Wed. telling how proud they are of her and how she has just jumped right in and it trying very hard..I still have not had a breather except for Friday..My dive buddy and I went to Jupiter for the day and had two wonderful dives...Visability was maybe 30 foot but just to be under the water was great...Came home with two lobster..Sandra isnt much of a fan but maybe I should not have shown her the pic before showing her just the tails and cooking it...Last Saturday we went over to Tampa bay and did a little fishing with Dad and a friend...The seas were VERY choppy and the fish were not biting..We stayed out about 3 hours and headed back in...I just put a coat over Sandra's head and held onto her..We were running in very shallow water so you have to go fast to stay off the bottom..She really enjoyed it..I think she will probably be a fisher like her Dad...No news on Carlos..I have a friend there trying to find out some info..I have had no response to emails...I have not heard anything from Denver either..But they could have contacted Carlos and not me...Which is what I am praying...My mom is doing very well...She had her first day alone today...The day nurse didnt show up..I clearly told them thru Monday at 8am..They even recorded the call..So when I speak to them this week about what we owe them I will be charging $15 an hour for my unexpected care...I am not cheap..heheheh...We have a lady down the road that will come in only at night for the next couple of weeks and then I think that she will do well...She is just scared...Lifelink should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday and that will really help her feel secure...She sure did get spoiled with all the care of the last few months...But she will grow up again...Hap is doing great...Sandra is great...Our family is great...Life is great...I have not seen my son as much this week but I DO plan on starting the once amonth Sunday dinner in January...Figured we would get thru the holidays and then balance out again...BALANCE???? Not sure I know what that is yet...I have to find it soon tho...GOD will have to do this one..Because I feel as tho I am falling right back into the rut again and I DO NOT want that...Hap says that I have become much more out spoken which if I use that in a GODLY way will be very good...I have to remember who I am here to please...There are alot of changes coming in the near future..So if anyone is reading this please continue to keep us in prayer for smooth transitions...I cant go into it now but as it begins to play out I will be able to speak of it then..Sometime I think GOD wants us to just trust him and not speak..I read somewhere in Proverbs that it is only the fool who speaks with many words...The wise man uses few....Love to all and I will try and start to write some each day again...
