On January 20th, Aiden's Emigration Permit was approved!! YAH!! I was so so SO excited to read that! It threw me into immediate action! I washed 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 loads of Aiden's laundry. It did take me a few days to finish all those loads and put them away. His crib bedding is all washed and ready, clothes are hanging in his closet, towels and blankets put away. You name it, I washed it! I do have to say I was SICK AND TIRED of washing clothes after that! But I do have to admit, I really did like doing them. The room is ready, I've got all my gifts sitting out ready to be packed, working on getting Aiden's things together, but I've stopped at this point. The EP approval lit a fire under my butt, so what's happened now? I was doing really good. Maybe it was the 5 loads of laundry, that's enough to send anyone into a stupor! So what's the hold up? It was all I could think of for the last week.
Maybe it's the wait again. I can't believe we've gotten to this point and I've stalled. We are so close to the end! Have I run out of gas? Am I so emotionally spent I have no more? I don't want to wait for the Travel Call and then freak because all these things I'd planned on doing aren't done yet. (I am the perpetual planner!) I almost feel like we're waiting on things to process again, like we're suffering through a major holiday again and they're not there to push that paperwork through again. But they are there in the Seoul office, processing paperwork, setting up Visa Physicals, etc. I was doing really good, what happened?
Or, maybe I'm overwhelmed. There's so many details that need to be remembered. Bulkhead seating on the plane ride back. Buy a lap ticket. Request baby meal on plane. Remember to call the credit card company before using it. Remember all lists of things to buy while there. Don't forget to keep driver's gift handy for after you land in Seoul. I could go on for days. Maybe I just can't figure out how to handle all those little things that need to be taken care of before hand, like right now! I don't know, I think I need a little push again. Give me something else Seoul! Give me one more little tidbit of info that makes me think we're almost there. I need another fire lit! ;)
