It's not OFFICIAL but...

we've got a date. Like a real, tangible date. Well, more like a week of dates but I'll take it. Sometime during the week of March 12th.

There's one more step that we have to complete before he can be admitted which I've already started working on. He has to pass a MRSA screening. I've already called his PCM at Barquist to see about acquiring one. Hopefully they don't take too long to get back to me about. I don't need to be the crazy lady that calls all the time (again, haha.)

I go tomorrow to sign all the forms for Daphne to start daycare. She'll start next Wednesday as long as everything is good to go. I want her to have a few days under her belt before Mommy and Jack disappear.

I don't know what's going to be harder, watching Jack go through this or leaving her for days at a time. This entire situation just sucks. I'm trying really hard not to throw myself an epic pity party but its not working today. I cried as soon as I opened the email and read that it was really, really happening. I know its in his best interest and most likely, he won't remember much of it in a few years but still it sucks that my little man has to go through this and that my little lady has to be without her Mommy and big brother for so long so he can get better.

I don't know what else to say other than our lives are going to be crazy for the next few weeks getting everything together. I have to label all his clothing, get his huge list of stuff to take together, plus pack for myself. I want to clean the house for Daphne and for Steve and get a few nights worth of dinner in the freezer for them so they aren't eating Little Caesar's every night.

I know we'll make it through it and we'll all be better for it in the end. Hopefully it'll work and Jack will start eating real food. No more Gogurt for breakfast, lunch and dinner with the occasional switch up of canned fruit. No more screaming when someone offers him a bite of chicken or banana or broccoli or pizza. Although, there could be a downside. He could start eating as much as Daphne and then we'll constantly be broke as our grocery bill will skyrocket!! Just kidding, that girl does have a huge appetite for only being 21 pounds though.

All in all, its for the best. I just have to remind myself of that. I just can't believe that in less than 2 weeks, my whole life is going to be upside down.
