The last few months have been spent on
a mountain top virtually isolated from everything. When I first
arrived it was not under the best of circumstances, and I had to be
picked up to get there. Leaving one of the biggest problems that I
had behind was a refreshing change of pace, but it did not solve all
of my problems.
The snow was a new adventure when we
got snowed in for a week with the school closed. It was far too cold
to do anything but stay inside though that did not stop the baby from
insisting on going outside to play.

I stopped writing and began a new job
that did not require deadlines to be met. I must admit that I enjoyed
not having to sit at my computer all day or interrupt time with the
baby to work. I enjoyed the regular paychecks too, but now that has
come to an end.
The school was to small to accommodate
my child to my satisfaction. The result? Yet another move across a
number of states. So far everything is going well. The baby has been
enrolled in a new school, and we are waiting for the paperwork to
come back on an apartment. It is only one bedroom but it is larger
than our last accommodations. There should not be any feelings of
claustrophobia unless I go overboard with the furnishings.
The last few days have been spent
getting everything situated to ensure that everything goes smoothly
with the next part of the move. Mail has to be forwarded, an Internet
provider found and the phone number changed to a local number. The
baby is going back on the special needs bus since they can pull in
the driveway and there is concern for her safety crossing the
highway. The mountain had less traffic, so a quick trip to the school
and it is taken care of; I didn't have to call the school the bus
driver mentioned it and they called me.
I have a lot of things left to do but
there is time. There are deadlines for getting them done but they are
at least thirty days if not more for most of them. There are new
forms to fill out and meetings to schedule; one of them is already
out of the way with a request put in and a waiver form signed.
The IEP that the baby came with is
currently being used and before the end of the school year she will
have another one. Well, it is time to make phone calls so this has to
come to a close. Have a great day, hope it is a happy one.
