be back soon

The last 2 days I've been working  very, very hard and have not had a moment to spare. The good news is that I finished my last shirt order and am officially on maternity leave! Indefinitely, for now. 

And it's a good thing I'm done, because apparently I have a new job. Finn's kindergarten registration:

A sea of paperwork. Is my child applying for law school? 

Obtaining his birth certificate. I dragged all boys to the downtown recorder's office. Thankfully I did not have to parallel park. Last time I tried to parallel park I was in college and started to gather an audience, I was taking so long. Back and forth, back and forth. I gave up in embarrassment. When I got back to my car I had a ticket. The crime? Tail end more than 3 feet from curb:( 

Then there was the kindergarten doctor appointment today. 2 hours of waiting. Complete with 4 shots. Finn was such a trooper. Thursday we get to go back to have the Tb test checked. Oh, and while we are at it, let's throw in my Thursday OB appt and registration for the hospital check in. Not to mention my upcoming eye appointment because I am on my last disposable lens.

Then monday is the kindergarten dental appointment.  

All of this has left me completely exhausted. 

I have been pretty silent regarding Finn's education, mostly because I was was not completely sure what we were going to be doing. However, John really wants Finn to attend our local kindergarten, and so for right now, that is what we will be doing. 

It's only 9pm, but I am turning in for the night. I will be back as soon as I get a spare moment from all this madness!
email me! i love you more than broccoli.

    Eek! School time for Finn?! It will be a good year... don't fret. Someday maybe you can have your whole brood at home and home school them, but don't stress about that with one on the way!

    And speaking of one on the way, it is coming SO SOON! YEAH!

    Seriously....the appointments that are required to start kindergarten these days are rediculous! It's not like these kids are going into the army or something! LOL!! At least there is a little comfort in the fact that all the other little kindergarteners have been tested for all these diseases too! :)

    *sigh* Finn is getting so grown up-- I remember you talking about what to do with schooling shortly after he was born and thinking "eh, you got time to think about it." Now its almost here! Very cool though-- lots of excitement for him! They have dental appointments for school now? Huh, I remember I just needed a TB test and off I went!

    I'm in the middle of all that stuff with Juliet too. Oh she's gonna fa-reak out with her shots. Drama Queen. We're still wavering between homeschooling and going to the local school again this year. Tough decisions.

    Love the law school analogy...So true!! And I'm glad I'm not the only one whose children get their birth certificates years later than they should! I'm thinking I'll just wait till this next one is born and then just go in for all three little ones in one swoop. I mean, seriously, a trip down town into a government office with 3-4 kids. No thanks. You are a brave soul!
