paperwork

What a pile up of paperwork. Whoever thought about all of the paperwork a baby created. Birth certificates, inscription in the nursury, bla bla.

Here in Paris getting a child into a public nursury is a complicated thing. Basically as soon as you find out that you are expecting you should go and contact the hospital and then the nursery. At five months of being pregnant the nursury takes your preregistration then you have to go to the city hall at about 7 month pregnant and then within two weeks after the baby is born you have to go back to the nursery or crêche and leave all of you papers including tax revenue. The city hall is not supposed to make money off of the people but it seems that they prefer to take people that can pay max with a fixed income compared to poor artists. Artists are sort of something bizarre.

We had three days tio register the birth but seeing how sunday was one of those days and then the dossier would not be deposited at the city ahll until 3pm on monday we really had only a day and a few hours to register. There is ton more things to do.

I'm to tired to think about it, just give me some chocolate. I actually had a guiness today. They say that it is good for milk production.
