Just got a call from our contact who took care of delivering our Visa paperwork to the Chinese consulate in Chicago — she has them in hand, stamped, approved and ready to be sent out for UPS delivery tomorrow. With only two days to spare, this news is like a GIANT tums for my stomach. Denise you are a lifesaver and have just earned the title of my very best friend in the whole world.
Clara is getting a head start on the time zone in China. For the past week or two, our dear child has woken at around 2:00 a.m. and has stayed awake till about 6:00 a.m., when she falls very soundly asleep again. Just 1 hour shy of her wake up time for pre-school. During these hours she insists that she needs Mom, and only Mom. Pete is the only one getting any sleep around here these days. Which is a good thing — he'll shine like a star in his role as the awake parent in China.
Packing is going ok, lists and post-it notes are everywhere. I have sectioned off the living room with police tape to keep everyone away from my piles of documents. Ok, not really, but it's good idea don't you think? 4 days left of utter insanity producing stress. I think I can manage it, I just got a new family pack of Charmin. (best quality for adopting parents? a sense of humor)
