Hehehe on a side note my son just asked me "do babies in the mom's stomach come from brown eggs or white eggs or does is depend on if you are brown or if you are white"? LOL Then he asked me "or is is it like granpa said they come from swallowing watermelon seeds, so if you swallow two seeds or three seeds does that mean twins and triplets"? That made me laugh too! Life is full of blessings! We just neglect or tend to overlook them sometimes! :thumbs:

:rofl: That's so adorable!

4. I am over 6000 miles away from a hug I need the most

5. Someone else is in control of my destiny

6. My phone bill was over 700 dollars this month

7. Egyptian internet connection makes web cam poor

9. It is cold where I live in Illinois

10. I miss my husband with each breath that I take.

LOL

I do see the light at the end of my tunnel. It is all worth it to be with my husband forever. I can list many many things I am happy for and they will be the same things many people are happy for. I just thought it would be more fun to post depressing stuff! heeheehe

I will be done with NVC soon and then on to wait the dreaded 6 month wait till Cairo interview date. I am sure most other countries can post they are happy their consulates are not like Cairos.

Good Luck

We will all have a happy ending!

Weird. I haven't cleaned my home as often since I've been going through this process. Strange how it has that affect.

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." - William James.

So whatever happens, youll get through it with a fight and a smile!

To gain experience you have to step out of your comfort zone. Soon that space will be your comfort zone and you will have to step out of that zone as well to grow.

Sometimes youre pushed outside your own comfortzone by someone else and instead of being depressed, See it as a challenge!

Change your attitude and change your life !

See the small things in life and love them.
