<\/a>— 1 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Traveling mercies.<\/strong> I’m on the road again this weekend. Daniel starts school on August 18th and I want to get some time with my parents before then. I’m driving up to San Jose with him tomorrow and we’re leaving Jon behind to do some premarital counseling sessions.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Prerequisite baseball take.<\/strong> My boys are 3.5 games behind the Dodgers. Grump grump grump grump grump. I also now live in Dodgerland so I get reminded frequently. At least my other boys (the St. Louis Cardinals) are only 1 game behind in their division.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Prayer request.<\/strong> I spent a chunk of today sorting out the mess that my local Social Security office made of Daniel’s SSI. Could you pray that they get off their butts when they get my letter and documentation and fix it? Please and thank you.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n IEP.<\/strong> We got the referral for Daniel to an autism program but they’re sending us to Covina for it which is not making me happy because that’s at least a 20 minute drive in morning traffic. I think Claremont is required to provide transportation for him but I’m not sure. Could y’all please pray that the IEP meeting goes well and we can figure out exactly where we’re being sent? (We were supposed to be sent to the school district next door.)<\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Kindergarten boot camp.<\/strong> We’ve mastered drinking from a cup and using a knife and fork at the table. If only we could master potty-training. It’s the bane of my existence at the moment.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Brett.<\/strong> The cute little boy on my sidebar has met his new family. Could you please pray that they can get through all the red tape that exists in adopting a child? Thanks!<\/p>\n <\/a>— 7 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Blog Hop.<\/strong> I participated in a blog hop about writing this week. Click here<\/a> to read it. It was fun to reflect on why I do the things I do this way and I’m excited to see what the three people tagged have to say.<\/p>\n For more Quick Takes, visit Jen at ConversionDiary.Com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" — 1 — Traveling mercies.
