The whole school ordeal with Anastacia has been crazy since they shut down her school in Tulsa. Well my Nana went around and did some things out of order for her to get put back in a Tulsa school and didn't allow me to finish the stuff like I was advised. Well needless to say Anastacia could NOT get enrolled in a Tulsa school. So here is how my week went last week.
Monday - On way to work and everything is going good. Nana was set to go and try to enroll Anastacia in Owen Elementary today (08/15). I'm pulling into work and she calls to tell me they will NOT let her enroll her without a signed/notarized paper from me. I tell Nana I will deal with things and see what I can do. (Mind you Mannford schools started Thursday 08/18 and Tulsa started Monday 08/22).
So I come inside, get situated, and then start to think on how I can do things. Nothing works in my head and I call the TPS Educational Service Center and they say there is a form I can sign with them but I have to have the notarized one on file with them first. So this makes this a NO. My only thought was get her enrolled in Mannford. So I set on a path to get this done. I call Mannford schools and tell them I have a Kindergartner that needs to start school and I'm not off work until Thursday so can I enroll her via fax and get her ready for school and they agree. Call the daycare and make sure she can start the next day and have them get me the packet ready to enroll in daycare. (I decided to pick her up Monday night because she could start daycare Tuesday and Wednesday and get to know some kids and get used to the workers and then start school). So I print enrollment school forms and supply lists offline and fill it out. During lunch I go to Walmart and buy the school supplies that she needs for school and also an outfit to start school in because at this point we haven't bought her school clothes since we thought she was going to Tulsa schools.
Get off work and I go to Tulsa to pick her up along with some of her things so she will be ready at the house. Get home get her somewhat unpacked from what she brought and then settle in and get them ready for bed. Once they are down and asleep I sit down at the table and write down the last few supplies I need to pick up for her and Triton for school (open house is Tuesday - next day) and finish filling out all the papers and making sure I have birth certificate, report card, and shot records in my purse so I can fax to the school in the morning. Finally got in bed.
Tuesday - Get up and get all 3 kids ready and off to daycare. Turn in all the daycare paperwork when I get there. Get to work and fax all of Anastacia's enrollment forms over to Mannford schools then call to verify they were received. During lunch I ran and grabbed the last few school items I needed. Open house is tonight and we were suppose to bring all school supplies in tonight. I get off work and head to Mannford to pick up the kids and then over to the school to look around the school and meet the teachers. Meet both teachers, look around the school, turn in both sets of schools upplies, and then head home. Make dinner and get ready for bed.
Wednesday - The most normal night I believe we had all week... Take the kids to daycare and go to work. Everything is still a little on the hectic side because my house is still a mess and now I'm in the midst of moving a 5 year old back in and getting her situated. Along with my son having a messy room that needs to be cleaned and me having a busy schedule at work and then getting home late in time for dinner and baths and the night is over for the most part. Pick kids up, go home and make dinner, baths, and then bed. This is the night before school starts so the kids are excited.
Thursday - I took off work today because it was the kids' first day of school (Triton in Pre-K and Anastacia in Kindergarten). Took Preslee to daycare and then took the other two to school and got them both into their rooms. Once I left I ran over to the other elementary and put money on their account for lunches. Grab some pops at the store and go home. I was suppose to wake Albert up at 930a because his Dad was having surgery on his leg regarding the blockage. 925a I go into the bedroom to wake him up and he says he wants to sleep until 10a because he set the alarm (he did). So I lay down and pass smooth out. I hear the alarm and tell him to get up and he doesn't. I told him several times but I would go right back to sleep (mind you I'm exhausted from all of this). We end up both sleeping until like 1230p and he gets up and gets around and goes straight to the hospital. I get up and around and start cleaning in the kids' room. Cleaning the toys, organizing, and getting rid of old/broke/nasty toys. Go pick up the kids from school, get Triton's hair cut, pick up the title from the post office, pick up Preslee from daycare, and then head to Tulsa for Cody's birthday party. Was there having dinner and cake/ice cream with my family for my brother's 21st birthday. Leave there and go home and get kids ready for bed.
Friday - Got the kids up and ready and dropped all 3 of them off at daycare because the 2 older ones will ride the bus to school and from school to daycare. I go to work and then get off and pick up the kids. I go home and change and grab the diaper bag and go to Old Navy to go school clothes shopping for Anastacia. Get to Old Navy and its just me and three kids. Preslee fell asleep in the car so I carried her carseat in and get inside and there is NO carts. So I carry her carseat and make sure the other 2 stay close and pick out Anastacia's clothes. We all go into a handicap dressing stall and let her try on clothes. Boy I was reall exhausted then. Leave there and stop and pick up 2 pizzas from Little Ceasar's and then off to Nana's to drop Anastacia off for the weekend and eat a quick dinner. Ate, let the kids play, and then off to the hosue to get some stuff done and try and rest.
So as you can tell I had a CRAZY BUSY week and so come Saturday I did NOTHING but lay around on the couch, in my PJs all day long!!!!!!!!!
Anastacia on the 1st day of Kindergarten
Triton on the 1st day of Pre-K
Both the kids on their 1st day of school - Getting ready to leave the house
This is the sky as I was driving out of the neighborhood... The beauty of this is amazing and unreal just breath taking. We always say when we see the clouds/sky look so amazing that it is our sweet Skylar telling us that everything will be ok. Especially when we seen this on the first day of school.
