S is for...

Slow.

It seems nothing moves fast enough in this process. I sometimes feel as though I am at a standstill. I want to send in all the papers I have to our connection for 'review' but I don't even have the most important paper yet. It is coming I am sure, but I am going bonkers in the meantime.

Crossing all of our T's and dotting all of our I's is certainly important--I know that. Today was a trying day, I sent my husband to work knowing he had to check HR for his employment verification and a notary. He had specific instruction to provide the information needed on the paper. Well, he thought he could give just his hourly wage amount and not what his salary would be provided he did not work overtime. Uhhhh, ya, no that won't work. He fixed it thankfully.

After he got home I had learned our state background check had not been filed yet, and the a lady who is not our social worker called to run those checks. Turns out she needed the kids' middle names and I only put initials on them. Then she said she needed Shawn's signed........WHAT? I gave them to our SW on Tuesday of last week and we just now are finding out they have not been ran, don't have the correct information, and one paper was not signed. FABULOUS.

Shawn drove in and corrected that by signing his form so we could get those submitted ASAP (since we needed them ran already).

I was hoping for my passport today...it is in the mail, at least. I cannot afford to dance the waltz here, I am ready for a foxtrot! Alexander's country of residency is always, frequently changing policy. The quicker we get this done the better off HE is going to be in the long run.

Keep the prayers coming. We need it.
