Hannah and I went to a friend's house and it was a delightful, relaxing day. However, we did have a few mishaps before the event.

Mine wasn't a big thing, just our regular game night at our neighbors. Once a month, for the past 8 or 10 months, Hannah and I get together with these friends and their 3 kids. We play a couple of board games or card games, eat some snacks, and maybe have a glass of wine for the grown-ups.

Interesting insight. Oldest boy was explaining to the 2 new FKs as I eavesdropped. "Okay. Here's the deal. With Grandma, completely follow the rules right after she gets home until she relaxes. After supper, you can break about 3 rules except violence until she gets irritated; after she gets irritated, you can only mess up twice before she will go from irritated to annoyed and then there will be consequences. If she goes to pissed off, then... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (susanmward) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/1491 Fri, 10 Jun 2005 09:26:28 GMT <![CDATA[ health insurance ]]> http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/1490/t/health-insurance.html

Okay - this issue has become a HUGE challenge for me! I'm so at my wit's end, and it wasn't a long trip.

While I was working with the adoption worker this spring, she gave me some homework assignments. One of them was to check with my insurance company and make sure CJ could be covered. I did that, they assured me that all I had to do was bring in the final papers after the deal was done and they'd sell me a policy. On April 30th CJ's adoption was... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (susanmward) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/1490 Fri, 10 Jun 2005 09:06:48 GMT <![CDATA[ "...tuna fish and carrots!!!" ]]> http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/1472/t/-quot-tuna-fish-and-carrots-quot-.html
