We received an email from our agency last week stating ~ if we wanted to ~ it was time to renew our 797C. Our current paper work expires on April 26, 2009. Our agency stated in the letter that we do not have to redo the paper work we could wait until we are closer to a referral and they would contact us six to eight months from referral to begin the I800. I DO NOT want to have to do the I800!
I contacted our social worker. I was told that in our state we can’t send in our paperwork until 45 days before our current 797C expires. I don’t know about anyone else, but that is cutting it a bit close for me. Does this mean 45 Business Days or 45 Days total? If we are talking 45 business days then I need to have my forms ready to go by February 23rd. Even if she means 45 total days I need to have all of the forms by March 10th. Either way, I am going to have all the ‘i's’ dotted, all of my ‘t's’ crossed, and everything waiting to be mailed first thing on February 23rd. Now I just need to figure out how to get our social worker here!
Hopefully this will be THE last time! Don't they say, "Three Times is a Charm"?
I have had a cold for the last several days. Great way to spend the last days of vacation, but at least I don’t have to be at work and feel like this.
I have to brag on Big Bear for a moment. On Saturday night he asked me what I wanted for dinner. Do you know how when you sick comfort food is the only thing that sounds good? Who the heck wants a salad when you’re coughing up a lung? Not Me! Any way, all I could think of that I wanted was macaroni and cheese. We don’t have any in the house, because we rarely eat it. I asked BB if he would go get a box.
Well, not only did he run to the store, but he made homemade Mac & Cheese. It was delicious! 
Sorry~ but I have the best hubby. :o)
Now, to work off the Mac & Cheese, cookies, and junk that I have consumed WAY too much of lately, I am getting back to the pool this week. I NEED to get back in the pool! I haven’t been swimming at all the past few months. I went one day last week with a friend of mine. It felt really good to be back in the water. Now I just need to be more committed.
The hardest thing is getting up so blessed early in the morning. If I didn’t have to work I could swim whenever I wanted to, and sleep too. I guess I can sleep when I’m dead. I need to be healthy, I want to be healthy when Polar Cub comes home.
I’ll keep you posted on the swimming.
