Taking a break

I finished my letter to CIS asking for a postponement of the fingerprints for g-ma and my mom. The doctors are saying that once my mom gets home (hopefully by Tuesday), she'll need to stay in for at least 4-6 weeks. I have requested that the new fingerprinting appointments be sometime after January 1st. This is really hard, because now, with my new calculations/assumptions, I may not be in Vietnam until August. That seems like almost a year away! I am VERY disappointed. I don't want to shift blame to anyone, but I wish we would have realized the severity of my mom's health weeks ago and most likely I would be preparing my dossier items instead of sitting here typing this. I want to just break down and cry, but no good would come of it. I will be spending the next two months cleaning, nesting and organizing this house, as well as working my butt off to make some money around here, since my mom will be very limited in what she can do for work. Let's home I can literally work my butt off and my thighs as well. That would be a nice little treat.

I'll 'see' you in two months, oh, and I'll be reading your blogs, hoping to hear wonderful travel news. :)
