A Great Big Relief

Yesterday was the day. I drove thru a downpour, but I got it done. I got my fingerprints redone.

I can't tell you how much better I feel. I emailed a copy of the receipt (which is really just the gov't form they send you for access) with the technician's signature on it, and dated, to the embassy in Haiti. It has a barcode on it, so hopefully they can use that to find my re-prints. I don't know if I get more paperwork or not...(probably, this is the government) Even the little Korean man that took my prints said he did not understand why they need reprints. He just shook his head in bewildered amazement at the whole thing. His accent was heavy, but I think he told me 'they' like to create work :) Ya think??? He also asked me alot of questions about international adoption. Mrs. K, I hope I was a good ambassador.

I also shipped off a little package for the girls to a traveling mom leaving for Haiti Wednesday. We don't get the opportunity to send much anymore. She is not going directly to the creche, so hopefully the package will make it to it's final destination! I did not spend much $ I love the dollar bin @ Target. I LOVE IT! I did spend some time on the photo album. It's been awhile since they've had one from me. It seems the older kids like the stuff you bring them, but they LOVE the photo albums. Especially when it has pictures of them in it!

Those little baskets are felt. Target Dollar Bin.

This morning when I went to pick up the last of the photos at Walgreens I saw these and I had to get them...

They were selling them as Easter Baskets, ($2.00 each) but any fool can see that's a little girl's spring/summer handbag. Duh!



I'm saving them for when they get home, since that straw would last about 5 minutes at the creche. And hoping they get them before they go out of season....
