Little Light Out Of This Mess..

It has been an emotional rollercoaster of a week to say the least -between Monday being a holiday- the federal offices were closed so we couldn't do much but gather information VIA computer and print out things information,and try and get information the automated way on the telephone {which is a plain old pain in the behind}-Tom has the patience of a saint let me tell you! Some good news came out of this so far..}- remember when I said I didn't think I had my birth certificate or SS card in my bag but Tom insisted it was in there because we couldn't find it in the house? well, yesterday, {still searching mind you- I'm one of those stubborn people where if there's a door, I'll open it no matter how dumb it may seem, I'll look anyway just to make sure} and checked the file cabinet for the millionth time just for the heck of it-I donno what I was looking for-maybe info to gather to get Thomas' ss card redone or whatever, but, I FOUND MY Birth certificate AND my SS CARD! I dropped to the floor and prayed a thousand thank you's and danced around the house. It was STILL in the envelope that I got my drivers licence in back in November. So today we went and replaced my drivers license at the DMV.so essentially we just gotta work on getting Thomas' stuff done. my bank card and credit card are being mailed to me in a week or so,and accounts are being rerouted so slowly things are coming together but we still need to put a block on Thomas' ss card so no one can open a line of credit using his name or something.and yes , the feeling of being violated hurt the most and the invasion of privacy hurt more than the actual losing of everything..I STILL can't believe this has happened to me! ..
