I will not..

Got this from Natalie's blog. Just modified the answers ..

1. I will NEVER breastfeed: I so wanted to breastfeed but we did not know the time frame of when we will get Jano, when Liam arrived I was so in the routine of bottle fed it did not even cross my mind.

2. My baby will sleep in his own room from day 1: Both Jano and Liam slept in our room in a camping cot. Jano moved out when he was one year 4 months and Liam moved out when he was one year 6 months.

3. I will NEVER co sleep: I don’t like it. I don’t go and lie with them, but Liam is a big lets walk away to mommy and daddy’s bed… Jano however sleep in his own bed.

4. I will not sterilize and change linen everyday: I’ve sterilized their bottles till they started using sippy cups . I am just paranoid when it comes to milk germs. We changed linen on a weekly basis, unless there is snot or spit up or any other form of bodily fluid – then we change it immediately. When they were little, I used a different, clean towel and fresh nighties each night. From a year, I stopped that. They now uses a towel every 3rd or 4th night and nighties every 2nd night unless they are wet!

5. I will not abandon my friends in pursuit of Mommyhood: Unfortunately family and friends does not come to visit that regularly anymore, I don’t ask questions..
6. I need 1 night a month away from baby, to catch up on some much needed r & r: I would LOVE to get away for a weekend!

7. My house will still be spotless: Yeah Right!! What a joke! My house looks like a Hurricane has moved through and destroyed everything in its path!

8. Routine Routine Routine: I’m big on routine !!! I get upset if they are not in bed by 7 after 7 is mommy time !!

9. No tantrums: Ha! Not matter if you agree with tantrums or not – they happen .. on a daily basis…

10. I won’t tolerate biting, spitting and hitting from my child: Yeah right… Jano is into pushing and grabbing and Liam is into hitting and biting. It is a constant nightmare to keep them apart!

Name Change Saga - cont...

So we have faxed all our 'evidence' and they have received the acknowledgement of receipt, copy of birth certificate, proof of payment and adoption order but... now we must go back to the branch were we handed this in and RE-SUBMIT all paper works!

We were there on the 21st of Jan 2008 will all documentation, (all originals) we only have stamped copies at the moment because you get the originals back in the post when you get the new birth certificate.

So I asked them WHY? We did fax you everything thru?

Their answer?


"Head office is requesting you to kindly visit your office of application to re-apply for the personal amendment.
Once the application is filled out and stamped, kindly fax it along with the proof of payment.

Please note that the case resolutions team requested that you resend the application forms as they are needed for their archives. Also be advised that, head office will only accept the copies of the application if they are stamped and signed by the office of application. We do understand how inconvenient this must all be for you, but please understand that we are conveying a message from the department that is dealing with your child’s application. We are requesting all the information and documentation that the case resolution team is asking for in order for them to complete your application. Again we do apologize for the trouble and frustrations you must be going through, but kindly fax us the required documentation in order for this case to be finalized."

????

I DONT UNDERSTAND... we fax all evidence thru now we must go back with the evidence to re-apply???

Maybe I’m blond but if it is done and we have all proof why do we need to re-submit?

Another pissed off day for me.. Last time we stood in line for 4 hours! So now I must go to my uptight Team leader and ask for time off.. damit!

My babies.. (or little men...)





They were out of the box silly on Sunday.. I suspect the green cool drink (AfridizzyCreamsoda) were a bit to much for them. They are so sweet at the moment! I could just hug them to bits! Except when Liam doesn’t want to sleep at night... then all sweetness disappears... LOL!




Name Change

I'm seriously pissed off today.

It is now exactly 1 year and 7 months that we are waiting for Liam's new birth certificate. How long can a name change possible take!?

I've mailed them, phone them and even went back to the Office in Arcadia to find out the answer? HEAD office did not make the changes they will make it in due time. WTF!?
