The Move

So I finally moved into my new apartment last week.  I must say it was the most stressful thing at first because I had sooo much to do! I had to not only unpack, but had to register the little one in school for kindergarten and than transfer my daughter from her old school to the new one.  Oh and than I had my father's birthday and my house warming.  Thanks to my BFF Sammy and my lil bro Ramze, I was able to pull through my first week at the new crib. These are the best, they helped me unpack, clean the house and get my kids situated.  

So I like had to miss days of work in which I felt bad missing but my children's education come first and so does my sanity.   So by the grace of god I was able to register the little one in kindergarten. However my daughter's school was a bitch to transfer her.  So like I went the first day to transfer her and they told me I needed proof of address, yea like umm hello like I have my lease! So they tell me oh not the lease con ed...So like yea did I not mention I just moved in and I have not received a con ed bill because I just moved in.  So I had to go to con ed and get a letter stating that I have an account with them at my home address... SMH!  So I go back with the letter, my daughters last transcript and her immunizations.  They than tell me oh she is missing the Tdap shot, I say no she is not, she got it last school year and I remember because she was excluded from school until she got the shot and that shot is given every ten years.  So it so happens that her doctor forgot to write it in her record.  

Now the school has a system that I have at work.  So I tell the woman if she checks the system she will see that my daughter has the shot.  She said " no I have to see proof in black and white"...SMH! So what did I do, went to work and printed out in black and white and took it to her.  She looked at it and said "oh you work for the city?"  Like no shit, I told you that four days ago when I first came to register her, and by the way that document I just gave you, you could have pulled out yourself four days ago and she would have not missed all these days.  

So during that week, I totally felt like a freaking client and now understand what my clients go through when they have to deal with the school and yet these damn school have the nerve to call in cases.  So anyway at least she is school now which is whats important.  

Well my house warming went well as well as my father's birthday!  I am 3/4 done with the unpacking but still working on some new furniture.  So I am beginning to feel so much better now.
