What a Morning!!!

Well, we all woke up early today, and got in the car and drove so we could be at the social security office before it opened. We got there thirty minutes early; so about 8:30 AM. (We needed to get Karli her social security card so we could file her on the tax refund). After waiting there for about an hour and a half, we learned out that they couldn't help us (the woman helping us out was very thorough and she wanted exact stuff, and an American birth certificate (which we don't have) and some other stuff, and we would need to wait 6-8 weeks for the paperwork we had to get translated [it was Chinese] and return to us). So, we set off down the road for the other local SSA office (they have a Chinese woman on staff who could translate the paperwork there). (After going to McDonald's for some breakfast.) We got to the other office after spending about 30 minutes to an hour looking for it once we got that area of town, and spent about another hour and fifteen minutes there. The woman at this place was able to help us quickly and we were (finally) able to leave, and head off for piano. After piano we took Kylie to science class, then my mom has to pick up some boys from school, and then we all finally get to come home. Wow! What a day so far... but the important thing was the Karli's social security card will be mailed to our house within 7-10 days. :-)
