This week on "I'm struggling as a mom" join me as I flip my house upside down trying to find my child's birth certificate from 2013.
The first rule of hoarding is to know where you place important documents. For me, these documents either go in my wine cabinet drawers (appropriately so I can cry over how little money I have to spend on wine), or in my black fire box which sits on the top shelf of my closet. I only ever need to enter this box once a year which is during tax time because I suck at remembering her social. I have pee results from my first job in 2010 stored in this box if that tells you anything about my retaining important document skills. PEE RECORDS for Christ sake!
Well here we are days after learning I need to submit a VPK voucher in order for her to get in to VPK and I still can't place where I put her certificate to be able to apply for the voucher. Sonagram photos, check. News article from crowd-sourcing her name, check. Blockbuster card of my ex-boyfriend from 2010, check. (I'm not kidding about that. I sincerely wish I was though.)
The kid and I are both stressing about going to school. I'm stressing because I can't find a record that she was even born and she is stressing because "Who will be my friend there? Do they have tv? Will I actually have to do homework like my cousins?"
I have my own school troubles with financial aid needing more proof that I'm not trying to catch a free ride. I'm feeling a sass attack sneaking up soon if they don't get their paperwork together and start reading the documents I've been sending them.
Much like our house, our schedules have been tipped upside down lately as well. We really depend on the schedule to get us through our day. Let's just say it's been crab city here. Fussy toddler, frustrated momma, please send your JuJu vibes for us. On top of it all we are adding gymnastics classes to the mix for Ms. Lily per her request. Let's see who she really gets her grace from!
Send good thoughts for us this week and if we survive I promise you're all invited to our graduations.
