- 3 Jamtots Eezi-fold organic hemp fitteds
- 3 knickernappie super do inserts
- 2 snappi's ).
I almost wasnt able to get it actually.
I dont know if its canada post or just this particular worker but....
I had my little parcel slip....and I went to the post office and gave it over....and they asked for ID. Ok. So I hand over my ID. Its not the same address because I havent changed it yet. Ok. They cant give me my package(that has my name right there on it) because its not the same address. Ok. I will get my boyfriend to come get it later. Boyfriend goes in. She remembers me(who had been in there less than an hour before saying that HE will be coming to get it) and she remembers the package. He gives the worker his ID that has the same address. The last name isnt the same. They cant give him the package. WHAT?! Are we married? They cant give it to him unless we're married. Really? He lies and says yes, we are married. So, he gets the package.
Ok, there are 5 people living at this address currently. NONE of us have the same last name, save for myself and D. I dont imagine that this is all that uncommon. Is it? So had my boyfriend not lied, no one at the house would have been able to get my package.
Now I get that this is partially my fault but I JUST moved in....I havent had a chance to change my address on my ID....and, in all honesty, never have no matter how many times I've moved. I've always left it as my parents address because its just easier, at this nomadic point in my life, than having to pay to have it changed every year. All of my mail goes to my parents. Theyve NEVER moved in the 25 years since Ive been born. Bah...Stupid policies and red tape.
but back to my fluffy mail...
I was actually really excited to get the snappi's..... I want to use them with my prefolds as well as the diapers I had ordered.
You know, I really didnt think snappis would be all that confusing.
They arent.
I think I'm just incompetent.
But I had a hell of a time getting his prefolds or new dipes on and fitting.
Partly due to the fact that he is so busy and will not sit still for more than 5 seconds(and thats WITH a distraction such as a toy or electronic bit) so trying to fold/wrap him in these friggin diapers and then trying to snappi them....gah.
BTW, Snappis are not nearly as stretchy as they look in all the demos I've seen. Lies.
I do have him in one of his new diapers with the super-do insert for bed. I'm REALLY hoping its on right or I might wake up to another Poop Picasso inspired morning:S Please pray for me, I dont know if I could handle that again lol.
On another note, I think the best thing about being a single mom....well, mom period....is when your baby just wants a hug from you.
I know I probably shouldnt, but D and I have a little routine at night where I put him down with his bottle(which I know I need to stop or his dental assistant god-mom is gonna kill me) and after about 10 minutes , he finishes and will start to whine...so I go in and pick him up(so bad, I know:S) and he just hugs me for a few minutes until I lay him back down again.
I love this little moment. Hes such a busy little beaver now, always going....always getting into things....that I dont get to cuddle with him very often, save for those couple of minutes at bed time. I dont know if its more for his benefit or mine lol:)
*sigh* I love him.

Hi there, a fellow Canadian with Canada Post issues, I can relate! In all fairness Canada Post just gave me a scholarship which means I can no longer bash our mail system! lol PLUS they are going to feature me in their magazine which they'll be publishing sometime in the near future...this double seals the deal that I can't bash out wonderful postal system!
ReplyDeleteYour son is absolutely adorable!
