Just keep swimming...

Okay...my title is my mantra right now...Just keep swimming...
For any of you that know the moving finding Nemo...Zachary's all time very favorite movie!  Dori, the fish that can't remember anything two seconds after it happens, chants this in the movie...I swear that movie hold all the answers and life lessons...I love it.
So, Just Keep Swimming it is...in other words, I got a lot on my plate and must just keep going, keep swimming, I will get there!
Today I am in town for preschool with Zach. Erin is at home with the other Erin and hopefully her antibiotics are kicking in and she is on her way to feeling better.  Zach has had two great weeks with little to no issues...I am knocking on wood as I type.   He has really been a rock star of all kinds.
This past weekend our trip to SD didn't go as planned...it was COLD, CLOUDY and WINDY.  Yes, all three.  We got there, I was on time and Brandon's flight was late, so we waited...kids did well.  Got to the hotel, got to the beach....played until the kids were purple and I was done feeling cold and seeing them shiver.  Then play at the park, dinner, bed...not a fun night, but it wasn't bad. Next day weather was the same...ugh.  So we flexed and tried the children's museum in SD.  We decided it would be fun, but it wasn't good.  Erin was upset the whole time and just didn't enjoy it.  Zach was great and handled it well, but in the end it was sad we had to leave early....luckily it was free admission that day. :)  Enjoyed other visits more, but it wasn't awful.  I had a horrible day with jaw pain, possibly a result from last week's dental work...went to the Dr. yesterday and got medicine...hopefully feeling better soon.  
So I have a lot on my plate today...County social worker coming out at 1:30 right when I get home to meet with me...plan to ask to close Zach's case and get transfer papers for TX. I am not happy with the behaviorist that the county has sent and that is why we have an open case...she is due Friday and I am hoping to cancel her services and have that off my plate....it is literally a waste of my time at this point, she does nothing that I can't get from books or internet information.  The other behaviorist is also due to come at 1:30...she is good and plays with Zach, shows interest in him...hey isn't that the point...plus their services are through our insurance and will transfer to TX with us, we will just have to find a new provider...but being that states are strapped for cash, the county services are not good, not at all...so the insurance ones are much better.  I feel like the county lady just is checking a box with us, okay, handed them a pamphlet, check!  So my big dilemma is how do I have them both at the house at the same time...I can't have both services at once, it isn't legal...so I am in a bind and hoping I can make the situation work. I just want to end the county stuff and be done with that...so that would cancel Friday with Laura and I am good with that...UGH...seriously stressing me out.
On the same front still having school stress with Zach, awaiting his IEP with his school in Boron...need that to see if he can go into Kinder next fall in TX and if so, at what level of assistance and help. That will also determine the school.  The one on base being a transfer for us, wouldn't be able to give him as much assistance...so how much they determine he needs is vital to where we place him. Honestly it is kindergarten.  I think he will be fine at either school...what matters is that he gets all he needs from the school, staff and assistance he deserves by law...and in the end his experience is the best it can be.  Fingers crossed.
I am starting to feel stress of the move...making my lists of things I must do and get done...scary to think of it all coming to an end soon...wow I can't believe how much I have wanted to move, how much I have hated these four years, but it is almost over...wow!  
Looks like we should have the rental agreement signed soon. So that is taken care of and one less thing to worry about. I am off to go and do...just keep swimming....just keep swimming!
