    While I'm Bitching...

    As a related follow-up, Andrew and Carrie went to try and use my WIC checks today (Blitzen, the baby whisperer stayed back with me) and surprise surprise, rejected. The usage date was okay but the wrong formula and ounces were written on the checks. Grocery store told them I’d have to go to the WIC office on Monday. Which of course is an hour away from where I work and is only open half as many hours.

    And these are just Sandy’s checks. I’ve asked at least a half dozen people at the foster agency for the WIC letter necessary just to make Clementine’s WIC appointment to eventually get the checks to maybe have the grocery store let me exchange them for formula. Maybe.

    If we were actually dependent on welfare, I’m pretty sure we’d all die. It’s too hard.

        Photo found on my phone from last night.

        Note to the babes: If you pee through all of your blankets in the middle of the night, I will be grabbing the closest appropriate material to swaddle you in. Snowsuits included.

          Sandy’s family visit diaper bag, my diaper bag for both girls and then Clementine’s visit diaper bag.

          Slowly everything is getting a place.

            Word is getting around at work
            • Fellow with a developmental disability: How is your daughter Rebecca?
            • Me: Really good, thanks for asking!
            • Your daughter is very…….. precious. I’ll pray for her. She’s a newborn, I pray for her every day. She needs it.
            • She probably does.
            • You’ll be a good mom.
            • I hope so.
            • Take her to a shopping, that’s all you have to do. Take her to shopping club, shopping online, take her a little shopping and you’ll be fine. She’ll say mommy buy me something. You can get her little sweaters, little sweat pants, little hats, little scarves, little gloves, little dresses, little dress shoes. I know my items.
            • Yes you do.
            • I’ll pray for your daughter.
            • Thanks, Franklin.

              Clementine

              She’s cute.  She’s super easy, super tiny and just turned a month old.  I wish I had more to say but it’s all bottles and butts ‘round here.  It’s a lot of work, but not as frightening as I expected it to be. Of course, that’s probably because Asia is doing so much of it!

              I haven’t needed Asia at night because Clementine practically sleeps through the night already.  Sandy’s still on the same 4-hour feeding schedule started since birth. 

              I wish I had more daylight hours to take photos.  Time is flying!

                I could do a whole photo series called “Sandy waiting patiently”. Suuuuch a sweet girl.

                  The city sent out an email apparently depicting my predicament last week. Pretty awesome, right? I don’t think I’ve ever met a PSA I haven’t loved. My job has posted this everywhere emphasizing the need to use bleach on everything. It’s been a week, I’m soooooo glad neither of the girls nor Asia got sick.
