Beauty For Ashes...

"...beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61:3

Homestudy verification letter

Went to see SWS today.  Yes- I just showed up there.  Surprised to see me?  Maybe.  I took him a print out of the email from Robyn and asked WHY I don't have the homestudy.  He read the email and said "Oh- good!  So it's done!"  Excuse me, but why don't you know that Robyn has the original copy in her hands?  Again, lack of communication between all parties (except between Robyn and I).  After making a call to Susan, SWS explained that he is unable to release to me the homestudy until he has, in his hands, a hard copy of the homestudy verification letter.  How long does this take- no clue.  I have emailed Robyn.  She emailed us this morning and told us we could start on the I800A application but we needed to get the copy of the homestudy from LAN to submit with the application.  So I can start on the application, but until I have the homestudy I STILL cannot submit any grants or i800A application.  

I know I'm always sounding irritated on these blogs, but let's just be honest- I AM!  As a matter of fact I shed a few tears in front of SWS today saying "as a mother, I NEED you to tell me what is going on rather than not answering my calls and texts."  I do believe it had little to no effect on him.  Because he basically said, in not so many words, that he is the victim- he has worked so hard to finish this homestudy so quickly and that I am being ungrateful.  I mean gee wiz it's only been 6 months of homestudy baloney, poopycock, hogwash, hanky-panky, shenanigans, flapdoodle, buffoonery, .  (yes- I used the thesaurus for the word "nonsense" and I couldn't choose just one b/c they were all so funny)

It's  all good. I am actually very thankful that it is almost time to move on to the next step of this process.  What got me excited was the email from Robyn telling me I could start the application for the I800A.  It kinda made me forget all this other nonsense with the homestudy.  

Bwana Asifiwe!  We're getting closer!
