A Bit Worried

Do you ever just have that horrible, gut wrenching feeling that something is going to go wrong? That is how I am feeling right now. I feel like I keep running into bumps that cause me to worry that maybe I won't be able to go to Spain this summer. I know it wouldn't be the end of the world, but I would be deeply sadden at the missed opportunity.

First, there was something going on with the family that put a delay on things. I am not sure what exactly. I was told last night that something happened, but they were okay now. That was a few hours after my first skype session with the family yesterday. According to both the family and the agency they really want me to come out to Spain. However, it still put the process on hold for quite a bit because the agency didn't want to move forward until I had spoken with the family.

Now the process is on hold again because apparently the agency cannot reach my references. I find that so strange because I know the people I used as references are very reliable individuals. I don't know if this was a no-no, but I sent an email to those three individuals and asked if they had been contacted yet. I just want the ball to keep rolling so I can get out to Spain. It is incredibly worrisome to me. I know that running into complications is just a natural part of life, but still...

Oh, so all three individuals have contacted me and stated that they have not been contacted by telephone as of yet. I am not quite sure what to make of that because I was told someone had been trying in the afternoons to call and was unsuccessful in reaching them. My mind is going a bit crazy right now with reasons why this is happening.

To top it all off for you guys. I was suppose to skype with the family today, but they never came online. More than likely they just got busy or the kids fell asleep as it was 10pm their time. However, with all that is going on I just took it as meaning something is going on. I don't know what, but whatever it is it is working against me going to Spain. Siiigh... Maybe I can just hide in a cottage in the countryside of Scotland for the rest of my life.
