Errand Day

Yesterday was a productive day - After getting the kids off to school, I was able to accomplish a bunch of little things around the house which looks MUCH better I might add! Then my errands begun:

• The kid's school to meet with Shelby's A.P.E. teacher - she loves Shelby and the meeting went well - it was a continuation of Shelby's I.E.P. since this teacher wasn't there
• Bank #1 - After two months of craziness surrounding the APS involvement with my Grandma, this bank has finally received all the paperwork they need to allow me to sign ATF (yes, I'm into alphabet soup today!)
• Bank #2 - Which - conveniently enough - was in the same shopping center as Bank #1. I found checkbooks from this bank as well as another bank in Grandma's closet. After a little reseacher, I discovered one bank was bought by Bank #2 so this simplified just how many banks I was going to go to today. I closed out the account and left with several key pieces of paperwork.
• Bank #1 (the main person I deal with here called while I was at Bank #2 to inform me he was able to give me copies of the checks I needed)
• Chipotle since wouldn't you know, that Mexican restaurant just happened to be literally right between the two banks and Grandma and I were getting hungry!!
• Grandma's house - we went over all the bank info after we shared a tasty burrito, chips & guac
• My house for maybe 10 minutes and during that time I received a phone call from Shelby's A.P.E. teacher telling me Shelby had some exciting news for me - for the first time EVER - Shelby - who is 11 1/2 years old - sat for 5 whole minutes all by herself!!!!!!
• The kid's school again since it was raining and Shane was bringing home a poster board. Poor kid - he chose to wear a short sleeved shirt and took off his sweatshirt to cover his poster board.
• My house for about an hour  - Papa (Steve's dad) came to pick up Shane for the weekend - Shane was so excited he packed on Wednesday knowing he wouldn't be leaving until Friday!! Papa called Shelby's achievement "miraculous" :)
• The vet's for an appointment for our 14 year old lab mix since he was what we were told were benign cysts but now are considered warts all over his body but lately, there's one growing under his dewclaw on his front left paw that's causing problems. He is set to have surgery next Tuesday.
• My house - for good for the evening!!!
• Steve, Shelby and I had a nice evening, ate an easy dinner, hung out, watched shows Shelby had recorded, I read & watched, and we all went to bed relatively early for us :)
