Ariel

What a cutie. She is different from Snow White in so many ways, and in so many ways she reminds me of Snow White when she first came to live with us. She is very timid, and tends to pout and shut down at the slightest provocation.

We went shopping today for the essentials: clothes, underwear, a lunch box (she told me she never had one) and she almost became overwhelmed with how much stuff she was all of a sudden allowed to get. She went nuts, wanting to get everything she saw.


Then I saw the lice. That was a fun part of today. So through all of the drama I am imagining (I sure as hell better be imagining it) lice crawling in my hair and rechecking her hair and washing everything that will fit in my dryer.

In our state Medicaid is going through a huge change and no doctor will take it (thanks Obamacare), also those who do accept the medicaid won't take what she is currently on and we have to wait until it gets switched over. HOwever I am required to get her a physical in the next 3 days.........


So I ran around trying to find a doctor with no avail, got her registered for school. Washed her current clothes, bought her new ones, did the lice treatment, fed her, took her and Snow White to Snow White's counselor appointment an hour away,  bought subway, did another lice treatment on all of us, and eventually put them to bed.


Tomorrow we should be able to start getting into the groove and get Ariel on Snow WHite's schedule.

So far the girls enjoy being sisters, but I can tell that they will swivel from being BFFs to Worst Enemies all of the time.
