12 weeks

Woo Hoo!!! I have made it to the 2nd trimester!! Only 6 1/2 months to go...

And now for what Molly wants to hear more about:

My tummy is sore almost all the time (I think it is more like my innards are sore), I have serious heartburn, I am able to go to bed at 10 pm but still get up around 1-2 am for a couple of hours, I get sick if I do anything too quickly especially straight out of bed. I am tired all the time...but for the first time ever, my emotions are completely stable (which is the opposite of what is supposed to be happening, Richard is pleased).

I have had really bad allergies this year. I went a week without taking anything because I wasn't sure what I could and couldn't take (it is all a load of crap, but I am trying to appease the drs.). My dr did give me a name of an allergy medicine I could take, but when I got to the pharmacy, I forgot what it was and the Chemist was no help, so I went herbal...and you know, it worked! I took pollenna. I was really pleased, although for the first day you have to take 2 tablets every 2 hours (you suck or chew them so it isn't a big deal).

So I am sorry to say, that for some of you this is a direct cut/paste of an email I sent off a week ago, but there is an update at the end:

Last month I sent in my application for my visa which expired on the 20th of April. They sent it back to me on May 7 saying that I had filled in the wrong form...they had changed it 2 days before I sent it off...and so I had also sent them the wrong amount of money. I am so pissed because they had taken the money right away and have had my application for a month and knew I had the wrong form and amount of money. So I needed to send it back, with all the right stuff (because I am here illegally until they start the process again), only problem is, it takes about a month for the money to be put back into my account, so...Richard and I scrounged up just enough money, and who knows when I am going to get my visa.

On top of all this, I had booked a ticket home for the 23rd of June for 3 weeks...I just have to hope that all this gets sorted before then, because I also have to have biometrics done as part of the application process...if I have to leave before I get all that done, I have to withdraw my application and I will have to stay in the US until it is sorted...MAN I AM SO MAD!!

Well I checked, and the money has been taken out for my new application and they sent me a letter saying that they got everything (although it doesn't say if it is all right). I am not out of the woods yet, because last time, they were very punctual about taking the money and sending me a letter and then sat on the application for 3 weeks.

And yes, if you were reading closely you will have read that I am coming home on the 23rd of June. My mom and I are going to Montana for our cousin John's wedding, which I am looking forward to.

One more thing I have to comment on is Dancing With the Stars...or I guess the fans of Dancing With the Stars...SHAME ON YOU!!!! for voting Lil Kim out of the Semi-finals!!! I can't believe they did that knowing that Ty the Rodeo man isn't going to win the trophy.
