This morning was our big registration day! Today The Snitch is officially registered and enrolled into Kindergarten! *sobbing* My baby is a big girl now.

In the past Kinder registration was a true nightmare. Seriously. Our district has always had two Kinder classes, a morning session from 7:50-11:15 and an afternoon class that released the students close to 3pm. Well, naturally, everyone wants their child enrolled in the morning class so the registration nightmare begins with a LONG ASS LINE of mom’s standing outside of the office trying to get in because its a first come first pick thing they do.

Thankfully shit has changed. Now once you go in and pick up your registration packet, which I did at the beginning of this month, they give you the business card of the woman who will enroll your child. They instruct you that upon completion of ALL paperwork and any doctor’s signatures needed that you are to call and make an appointment with said advisor to complete the enrollment process.

Sweet! Organization is what I crave. Not only because its much easier and less stressful this way but because I think I’ve got a touch of OCD and I need to get shit done NOW.

Mister took The Snitch to the doctor for her shots, physical, TB test and reading. He took her, this week, to the dentist and now she’s all set! Woohoo!

I was DETERMINED to go in there all prepared. CA state ID? Check! Two utility bills for proof of address? Check! Birth certificate? Check! Paperwork signed by dentist? Check! Immunization records up to date? Check! TB test results? Check! Signed form from her physical? Check! Uhhh…no check. I forgot to flag that form for him to get signed from the pediatrician. Fuuuuck.

I put in a call to her doctor’s office and they were most helpful! They will request her records for me so they can sign the necessary form. But, and there’s always a but, its going to cost me an additional $15 to have this form filled out.

Fifteen MORE dollars? Are you kidding me?? I know $15 isn’t going to break me, but $15 in addition to the $20 co-payment Mister already paid, just sucks. I wonder if they would have charged us that $15 if I had remembered to send it with him in the first place? But what can I do? I can argue that fact but in the end guess what? I’ll come out looking like a cheap, mad ass mom and STILL have to pay the $15 right? Yup. So its easier to hand them my $15 and just bend over.
