Being impatient

I know I am being impatient but I hand delivered that progress form last Thursday surely they will have opened it by now and allocated someone for the initial visit, wouldn’t they... 

I fully understand how busy they are but i know how long this process is likely to be, just from research we have done and from info given to us on the information evening.  I only want the call to say the initial home visit has been diarised so I know that we are in the system so to speak.  Its a fine line between being keen and being a pain in the arse bum!  I am currently walking that fine line and thinking of ways to cross it already.

I pick up the phone and nervously make the call.  If I ring to ask the question... "How long it will be before we hear?", it won’t look like I am being impatient.  I will just say that I forgot to ask in the information evening how long it would be to hear from them regarding an initial home visit. 

It’s our lucky day... that morning we were allocated a social worker and even better she was in the office to speak with us and set a date.  Believe me this is lucky as I am told trying to get hold of a social worker is like trying to plait sawdust at times.  I am the not so patient one and I am sure i will be told this when i get home and inform DH that I made the call.

I KNOW IT'S A LONG PROCESS AND ONE IN WHICH I WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO BE MORE PATIENT!!!
