DD's passport was rejected this morning by the U.S. Passport Agency. The reason: Her dad forgot to put in her date of birth one the form and left that field blank. What are the odds that the form went through five pairs of eyes and not one of us caught it until it got to... Continue Reading →
The empty can rattles the most
He can just go on and on and on. What is that saying? "The empty can rattles the most." Well that's exactly what he sounds like. It's almost deafening to the ears. It gets me so exhausted when I hear him talk or read a lengthy email like the one he just sent me. His... Continue Reading →
He finally listened
We finally received the document that I had been asking him for over the last three months now.

The Hague Convention hold up
He hasn't been keeping me updated regarding the status of the paperwork, but he has been texting our daughter and updating her.

Going a different route
As stubborn as he is, it’s no wonder why he wanted to take another route. Let’s do things the hard way instead of getting things done much easier and in as little time as possible. Let’s just let time roll on by in hopes that airline ticket prices go sky high, so much in fact,... Continue Reading →
He repeated what he read word for word
I sent him the link to the U.S. passport site to make it easier for him to understand why it is that I need him to complete the form. Well he ended up sending me an email word for word of what he read on the site. He even numbered the paragraphs. He then starts... Continue Reading →
