I just tried to order a copy of Kaleb's birth certificate online... Did you know we could do that? No? Well good because apparently its just all a lie anyway! When we left the hospital, we received an "APPLICATION FOR CERTIFIED COPY OF BIRTH CERTIFICATE". On that form it lists that you can order it online for $15.
Well, I went through the ordering process: $18 to receive a copy. Ok, its only a little more. No biggy! Pay for shipping: what, there is only one shipping option? UPS AIR for an additional $18.50?!?!?!? UM, Hi, we live on government assistance and we would rather have it sent First Class mail for $2. Not an option, huh? Fine, its better than waiting in line somewhere in downtown Phoenix! Okay, enter card info to pay for this very expensive $15 certificate. Agree to terms. Well, my order is confirmed; my card is charged... You need additional information?!?!?! A signed and notarized affidavit with a copy of my drivers license that needs to be faxed?!?!?!?!? Notarizing costs money, getting a copy of my drivers license with my current address costs money and faxing costs money!!! Would it help if I told you I only want this stupid "CERTIFIED COPY" so that we can get approved for FOOD STAMPS?!?!?!? STUPID FLIPPIN GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!
Okay, I feel better now.
