Slap my face hard!!!!

Should I decide to do this again... someone please slap me hard... just when you think that you are over all the paperwork - at least until you get the referral etc something comes along to throw a spanner into the works... we were told in the beginning that we would need to get the police clearances from each state my 'in-laws' (they live in the same house) that they lived in going back to 18 years old... ha!!! That would be 8 police clearances for 5 states... lovely!!! We had to redo their prints again... for the 2nd time... the 3rd time if they still don't take you need a clearance... this has been going on since the first lot of prints... anyway... the girls from Immitgration called me at 7.30am (who is that for service) to tell me to just do 5 years previous for Florida... ok... I can swing that... Mike can attest to the 'meltdown' that I had... I have just printed off the forms and will get them off tomorrow... I have until August to do that... I told one of the girls at Immigration that should she see any papers after this adoption on her table for another one... to tear them up... and slap my face really, really hard... she had a giggle... though I even got an apology phone call from them... someone had sent me a piece of paper and on the template of the letter forgot to mark off one of the boxes and it said I had to send all these different papers - which I know I didn't have to do the I800a... so meltdown number 2... I never got angry at the girls though... they have actually done nothing but bend backwards to help me... I have had many opinions about the doll... but I thought that I would buy it for Shauna and will keep it at home - some kids love the doll, some kids don't... well, if Shauna throws it on the floor then I will know to lose the doll :) I have had the high chair for about 2 years... it was actually at an auction and a lady had tried to outbid me... there was NO WAY she was going to outbid me... This is the toy box that we picked up yesterday... it was made for us... we don't like that plastic stuff... this will be good enough to take to college :) We are going to write a little message for Shauna on the bottom and the date and then I am going to put a clear lacquer on it... one thing missing from it that we want to do is put one of those latches on that holds the lid open but we will be able to do that ourselves...

Other then this... not a great deal going on... just working as usual... nothing has changed there either...
