Pages, and Pages, and Pages!

Ray and I were given the questionnaires at the seminar and we headed home. Ray worked extremely hard and had his done by Saturday night. I got up early the next morning, before the frenzied crowd arose and plunked myself in my favourite spot on my favourite couch. I did not leave that spot for the next few hours!! The kids got up one by one and - okay, yeah, I did feed them (reluctantly), and *then* I sat back down again and kept on writing! *laugh*

It was a lot of questions!! They ask you everything you can think of back to when you were a little kid! This way when the social worker is assigned she can read all the forms we have filled in, the questionnaires, and all the reference's letters and questionnaires and get a really good feel for who we are. By the time I was done I had thirteen type written pages!!! They gave me pages to write on, but my hand has an allergy to writing and as soon as I pick up a pen it just starts to cramp up and I can't write. No lie!! I think it comes from years of typing!!

So Monday morning, bright and early, I headed out to the post office to mail it by Express Post. I made copies, of course, for my files and then off it went.

Of course, as soon as I got home, I remembered that I had forgotten (does that make sense?) to put the cheque in the envelope. Smack me in the head!! I paid $12.00 to get that questionnaire to the agency in three days for a reason!! As soon as they get it they will have *all* our documents and then they can assign the social worker. But do you think they are going to assign a social worker without a cheque! So, after thinking about it and thinking of putting it off til the next day, I finally dash off to the post office before it closes and pay $7 to mail a cheque Express Post!!! *duh!* So now I have spent $19 just to get my questionnaire to the agency - what - two days earlier?? Oh, well. *Any* time saved is in my favour!! *laugh*
