Waiting

You would think that after almost 5 years, I would be okay with waiting.  You would think that I would have patience that Tibetan monks would understand.

But, I must really be American because I am not happy with the waiting on my travel dates.  I want to know WHEN I get to go to China and meet Zi.  What is the bleeping problem?

Well, I think the bleeping problem is in more red tape.  Because we now fall under the Hague convention rules (because we let our paperwork go out of date and last year had to update everything with the newer forms and procedures), there are more t's to cross.  In addition, there is a trade show in Guangzhou the last two weeks of April which means they can't make some of our necessary appointments until after the end of April.  We could still leave before the end of the month, but all of our legal stuff will have to happen in May.

Still, while I know all of this in a reasonable part of my brain, I want to know WHEN we are going [she stomps her feet like a petulant child]!

But, I do not know yet.
