2 cm's what's the other 8 waiting for...

So I went to the doctor last Thursday and the doctor says I'm already 2 cm dilated, he'd be surprised if I made it another week. That would be tomorrow. So I'm ready waiting, not so patiently, I need the vacation. The unpaid vacation that will be nothing short of tiring I'm sure, I'm actually looking forward to. I'm pretty tired right now because I don't really sleep to well, waking up for midnight bathroom breaks at least twice and the fact I am never comfortable in any position anymore.


So I think it was Thursday or Friday I honestly don't remember for sure but the moved my boyfriend again. He is now in Florence County, Arizona. At least he was as of last night. I called the attorney this morning and we made some calls to verify were he was and as of this morning he doesn't seem to be in Arizona or Texas for that matter. I ask him to call me around ten his time and that would be twelve here. So i'm just waiting right now.

need to rest... maybe tomorrow

exhausted beyond belief... I worked till 9:30pm last night trying to do as much as possible so I could be prepared for the overload of work I knew I would have today. The other girl is on vacation, so I'm actually really glad I did because today's been crazy with everything I've had to do. So right now, I'm very, very tired.

So back to the immigration issues. I've spoken with a couple, well more then a couple of attorney's. They all want his papers from INS. Well those are sitting in inmate property at the regional jail. In the meanwhile no one from INS will still talk to me despite the fact one actually tried to return my call. Last Friday at around 7pm. So the attorney I actually hired is going to go ahead and file the paperwork assuming we will be going to Arlington, but "will be very unhappy" should it be a different court. So my answer to that is does the paperwork make that much difference change the mailing address. So I have to go by the office tomorrow at 9:30am and now have to ask my boss for the time off though he's already flipping out about the one not being here. So I was going to go home at 5:30 and rest but now I have to finish the things I would have done first thing in the morning. Oh well here goes got work to do.

if you want to lose your loved one in the system call INS

I have to say the system we have here is broken, or at least that's my opinion. My boyfriend got picked up by INS on the sixth at 3am from the city jail. Now mind you almost all attorneys claim that INS will NOT come before the city "state" case is finished and time has been served. They took him to the local office Thursday where they supposedly gave him a bond and then changed the bond, though Friday INS in Arlington says there is no bond. Thursday night he was taken to the Virginia Beach Jail and subsequently removed sometime after 1pm. Finally yesterday around maybe four I got a call from Hopewell, Riverside Regional Jail. He didn't stay on the phone long enough for me to set up a phone account but then the message was in English. In the meanwhile of trying to find him I spoke with the people at the Honduran Embassy in D.C. Very nice people might I mention. I still plan on calling the Washington office today. You see Dudree if I'm spelling it right is the unhelpful INS officer in Arlington. The only one who will answer my questions with I can't tell you anything because your not immediate family. His family though may appear in the office with a translator for information, there is no phone number for them to call. Which is in my opinion utterly ridiculous. When calling the Honduran Embassy I told them what Mr. Dudree had said and she quickly responded but you are (Immediate family). I have to say I like her. They were all very polite and very kind. I've found most people from Honduras tend to be. So now I'm trying to figure out who to come up with all the money for the attorney. But extra money when your paying all the household bills, and a doctors "global co-pay" is not the easiest thing in the world. I've made mention to his brother we still needed four hundred dollars but he always says just to call him, never says I'll see what I can do. Maybe I need to say can you get, borrow, steal( just kidding) from somewhere.

I also talked to a couple of friends recently about what was going on, and of course they are concerned but they can't remember his name. That kind of bugs me. Not that neither one seems to care any less but it's one name that hasn't changed in over a year and a half. So that's the short story of what's going on.
