today, not my favorite

Went out to Topeka this morning to get our documents apostilled. Was feeling very optimistic. However, Georgia the lady from the secretary of state's office tells me she can't take care of documents from other states. Well of course she can't. How did I let that slide? Whatever, I figure it can't be too hard to fix. Our letter from the realtor was notarized in Missouri. I drive from one Secretary of State's office to another keeping in mind that I need to pick up a three year old kid I nanny from preschool at 11:20. Cranky lady in Missouri doesn't like the wording on my document. I tell her "Russia told me to do it" then I start crying like a crazy person, which is pretty uncommon. She takes the document and says she will see what she can do, I calm down, she returns, they can't do it. Turns out they can't do it because the notary had a bad certification number. Annoyed.

I break the news to our realtor that her notary girl is no good and I would like her to please print the document out again and find a different notary. She gets it done, but I can't make it back to the cranky ladies office because I have to work...sending Jim to do it tomorrow because I have to drive to Lincoln after work tomorrow to visit their Secretary of State.

Dossier in the mail, hopefully Wednesday. Social worker seems to think travel is not going to happen until February or later. Annoyed.
