Still itchy...

I have been doing a whole lot of nothing since my last post. Doing anything requires movement and any movement makes me even more itchy. So I have spent the last few days trying to tie up loose ends. One of which was going through photos of others in Africa the same times as us. My friends pictures were great! The only time I truly felt uncomfortable was at the market. I didn't take any pictures, but this photo captures what I felt. Can you find me, Tracy and Rachel? Can you see how we are totally surrounded? Yep. That is the only time I felt unsafe and was wishing we took a "guide" with us!

The top photo is one that was taken a day or two before we arrived. I can't seem to find Kp, but Kb is right in the front left of the picture. It was sad to think that he had no clue in a few days he would have a new family...he just looks so...sad.

My other major feat is trying to get our kids to be citizens before the year is up. I got their adoption filed at the courthouse, although I don't know that because I received copies from our courthouse. No, I know because some lady called me from Vital Statistics with some questions about the birth mother (as if I know or was told anything). So my kids have birth certificates and I have to apply to get copies...how? Fill out more paperwork and give more money!!! These forms give me headaches and make me feel so stupid. I hate filling them out! I think I know what it is asking me, but inevitably when I reread it, I get more confused! Then I guess I have to get them naturalized or something before going to the Social Security office. However, I have no clue even where to go to get that done. I think I am going to go to the SS office and act dumb. Maybe then they'll point me to the right office! Argggg....I wish this process was all mapped out, but that would be too easy wouldn't it?
