meeting us in less than an hour to pick them up. we just finished buying bus
tickets to kyiv as it would be impossible to find 4 beds together on the
train for tonight. we also just made more passport sized photos of the
girls. they attach these darn things to every single official document here.
the bus for kyiv leaves at 2pm and arrives in kyiv at 7 pm or so. tomorrow
we go to the medical exams for the girls and the embassy visit on thursday
morning. we will fly out of kyiv hopefully on friday morning and arrive in
the states on friday (its an 8 hour flight to jfk, but also a 8 hour time
difference or so, so we will arrive at the same clock time as we left
kyiv.....time travel perhaps?) IF we can get plane tickets. that will be the
issue at this point. our goal is to get to at least JFK. once we are in the
states we can figure out how to get to ATL.
marina is still having serious fits- biting, scratching, pulling hair,
swearing in russian (i asked sveta what this word meant and she looked very
aghast that marina would say this word) etc. we try to keep her sedated with
valerian root but it doesnt help much. the problem is we just dont have the
luxery of time for these fits. if the bus leaves at 2, we have to be on the
bus, period. marina gets upset at almost everything. she wants icecream at 8
am and we say no, she throws a fit; she wants to take a train to kyiv, but
there are no train tickets available (ie not under our control) and she
throws a fit. hopefully its mostly stress and language barrier, but she will
definately need alot of psychiatric help once we get home.
