My. Day. Was. Not. Fun.<\/p>\n

I leave at 11:00 AM with three kids to go stand in lines downtown.?? I was so excited to do that.???? Note to self – do not attempt such activities with three children.?? Again.<\/p>\n

While ON THE FREEWAY I hear a strange noise.?? Tanner yells “Mom!?? She is throwing up everywhere!”?? I can’t pull over because I was just about to exit on McDowell and there was literally no place to pull over.?? I have this fear of babies aspirating vomit so every five seconds I am asking Tanner if she is breathing.?? She throws up 2 more times.???? I have no spare outfit.?? No blanket.??<\/p>\n

When she was finished she resumed her grins and singing.?? No fever.?? She had finished her bottle right before we left.??<\/p>\n

Did she get car sick??? What if she has the flu??? Do I go home right now??? I just got all the way downtown and I really need this paperwork????? Hmmmmmm.?? Okay.?? I’ll try it.?? If she starts acting sick, I’ll just leave.???? What to do?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Am I going to look like a bad mom for carrying a baby in dressed only in a diaper??????? First woman I see tells me my baby looks cold.?? Figures.?? Snap.?? Do I tell her that she just vomited three times on everything in my truck and cause a panic in the HOT SMELLY building packed over the legal limit with a line reaching TO THE DOOR of which I was at the END of!?? Decide to grin and bare the judgment instead of face the consequences of truth.??<\/p>\n

Before??I could decide if I should say, I get trapped.?? Literally.?? Me, the kids and the stroller are trapped against the wall with a growing number of folks behind us and several rows of chairs blocking our exit in front of us.?? If she vomits again it is going to be B A D.?????? This incident serves as a great example of how I am ridiculously agenda driven.?? I get this from my mother.?? We. Must.??Finish.??<\/p>\n

Found a onsie at the bottom of the diaper bag.?? It’s a 3 month old onesie.?? It fits her just fine.?? (I still haven’t emptied the 3-6 months close from her closet and she can still wear most of them).<\/p>\n

One HOUR later we approach the front of the line.?? Nice – once you actually get to the window all they do is give you the application.?? Wait.?? 30 minutes later I have the birth certificate.?? My maiden name is mispelled.?? Now I get sent to the “corrections” room to wait. Again.<\/p>\n

I am told they won’t correct it because it was my mistake.?? I signed the court paperwork with my name mispelled.?? Feeling snarky (yes Darin it’s a word – check out the urban dictionary), I say “May I please see that.?? I would be surprised if I signed off on a mispelling of my name.”?? Wait.?? Again.<\/p>\n

Paperwork presented by vital records manager.?? Maiden name mispelled.?? Both Jim and I signed it.?? Snap.?? Informed by woman with raised eyebrow (clearly thinking I am dumber than a door knob with me eating humble pie and in complete agreeance) that I will have to bring back my birth certicate and pay another 23.00 to correct it.?? Sufficiently spanked.<\/p>\n

Leave and go to McDonalds.?? Not a good part of town.?? Eat quick hoping to get to the teaching store that was 2 miles away that I never want to drive down to and I need stuff.?? Dad on phone tells me that is a stupid idea because I still have to wait at SSN and be home by 5:00 to get to tax appointment in Scottsdale by 6:00.?? Sigh.?? Forget my agenda.?? Head to SSN.<\/p>\n

Wooohooo.?? I am in luck.?? No line at SSN.????The sign outside the door says that if false documents are presented, police will be called immediately.?? I live in a border state that has been cracking down on immigration.?? Suddenly not surprised that social security office is now a ghost town.<\/p>\n

Wooohooo.?? Tori didn’t throw up anymore and never acted a bit sick.??<\/p>\n

Feeling suddenly hopeful, I advance quickly to the front of the line.?? Hope dashed.?? Was told that I needed to bring the final adoption decree AND the birth certificate.?? Must come back tomorrow to apply with correct paperwork.?? Then I have to call to verify number has been issued.?? Then I have to come BACK IN to SSN to get number told to me in person because they will not give it over the phone.?? You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding.<\/p>\n

One bright and glorious moment.?? When I tucked her in tonight, she and I talked to God a minute.?? I remembered to say “and Jesus…thank you that today for the first time…I got to see MY name on my daughter’s birth certificate”.?? Can I have an Amen??? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
