Is there anything for me?

I usually only pick up the mail two times a week - but every time I have picked up the mail since Miss M has been with me, she always asks,

"Is there anything for me?"

I'm honestly not sure what she keeps expecting or from her - but it was fun today to say,

"Yes!  There is!"

My mom and sisters listened to my plea for some girl toys to fill the house.
(Miss M was here less than an hour when she told me that we were seriously lacking.)
A stuffed box of goodies arrived in the mail today - just two days after it was sent from Michigan.

Our plan had been to go swimming before dinner, but the box of surprises resulted in a change of heart.

As we were going through the goodies she kept saying, "Oh!  I hit the jackpot!"

Coloring books

And this is where she sat until bedtime.

Play dough toys
Stuffed husky dog
Littlest Pet Shop toys
2 Barbies
Barbie Clothes
Pencils
Paper
Stickers
Scrapbook stuff
Girly Lego's
Special Bags
Notebooks
Craft Scissors
Bracelets
And more!

We are so blessed - through prayers, gifts, emails, blog comments, fb comments, and friends and co-workers popping in to check on us both throughout the day.

I'm thankful for my village.

Praise Report:
This evening there were two potential "blow-ups" of behaviors with Miss M that didn't happen.  Thankfully she was able to process, rethink, and be redirected.

Prayer Request:
I got a phone call from "Rapid Response" late this afternoon checking up on Miss M and me.  I have to call them back tomorrow.  Pray I have patience and can speak with love and calmness.  I am finding that nothing happens quickly or efficiently in this system and I'm not dealing with that very well.  (How is Rapid Response 9 days later?)  When I talk with the people who call I find that they usually don't introduce themselves or explain what their role is in the "support" system.  The lady I have to call back tomorrow wants to know what questions I have for her for the CFT next week--she's attending by phone. I don't even know who she is or what she's supposed to do or not do for me.  There are now at least 3-4 people coming to this meeting that I don't know and I feel like I am walking into this meeting totally blind.  I want to help Miss M get all the services and support she needs, but I'm not sure where to even begin.
