Nothing much new to report here. We are back, and working on the new round of paperwork. Due to a new change in US Government requirements (a change! surprise, surprise), we are going to have to get a brand new Homestudy done, even though our last one was dated January 09. I'm immune to paperwork now. Bring it on.
BUT, this round of paperwork includes more medical documents, and I'm trying to determine if the kids have to get TB and HIV tests AGAIN (did that for the Homestudy once already, and slid by the last Homestudy update by not drawing too much attention to the fact that the tests were a year old...). Liam will NOT be happy if he has to have another TB test. Neither will any human being in the doctor's office while it is being administered.
Other than the paperchase...I have been trying to wake up! I was so proud of myself for feeling so energetic during the Russia trip. Then we came home. Ugh. Between jet lag, Daylight Savings time, and the complete and utter loss of the massive amounts of adrenaline that had been pumping through my body, I am comatose.
The house is a mess, and all I can do is wait for Natalie's nap so I can snooze next to her. Zzzzzzzz. Okay, actually, as of yesterday I am starting to feel somewhat normal again. But it has been hard. I'm ashamed to say I have been Cranky Momma lately, especially when it comes to getting out the door for school in the morning, (as in "We need to get going NOW NOW NOW, and so help me, if we are late for school, YOU are going to explain it to your teacher!!"). Anyone know how to get adrenalin pumping again? Maybe I should scare myself...

BTW you live basically across the street from starbucks- start double expressoing it up:) Hope the jetlag sunsides and thing the kids get some treats if TB shots are given
Will you doctor sign the medical forms for your children with a current date without the tests? I ws very fearful about the HIV & TB test for my 2. But my doctor just signed all the paperwork since they already had these tests when they came home back in 2003 and he sees them every year for their wellness plus other illnesses throughout the year. Maybe your doctor will do the same.
I would do as Amy says and see if your doctor will sign the paperwork saying they don't have it without the tests. None of us actually took any tests, the doctor just signed that we didn't have them.
So sorry to hear about the last minute paperwork. It is always the case I think. New homestudy is no fun for sure.
Any idea on when you will be going back?
