I just withdrew my proposal for the extended day program at the school. With the admin. responsibilities and a whole mess of other "new" pursuits I really don't have the energy to renegotiate a program (the board came back with issues )that was going to be a real stretch for me as it is. I guess part of my problem is I want to teach so badly that I am compromising myself and I know it. But I am sad too. As I feel there is something happening in this community that keeps it from saying "YES!"
Trying to navigate the bureaucracy of Singapore's MOM (Ministry of Manpower) has been quite maddening. I have spent hours just trying to cancel a work permit to no avail.
And now we are trying to get a PIO card for me and a COI card for Booty. Lots of paperwork which we retained from our last effort thank goodness.
And a big
THANK YOU to Dr. Lakshmi who is staying here and doing wonderful work with every person who walks through the door.
We are so lucky to have her here. She saw the H this morning and he walked downstairs with a big smile on his face and I know there was a good session that took place between them. What blessings!!!

are you very disappointed or a bit relieved? What are those cards you're trying to get for you and Sanbate?
Now I am relieved because so much else is happening.
The card for Booty is called a citizen of India card (for nationals and children of nationals) which allows her to pass into India without a visa for the rest of her life and the card for me is a POI person of Indian origin card which is good for 15 years (issued to spouses of Indian nationals).
