New year, old issues.

Since the last time I got around to writing- we have a new year, a new President, and hopefully a new outlook. Unless, of course, you're a conservative, in which case you can sit back and point fingers at my continued unemployment. Obviously I got myself into this situation with three kids and need to stop sucking the public teat for that SSI money I'm actually not getting. I did your party line of being a stay at home mom and look where it got me- uneducated at 36 without a husband because he chose to leave. And thanks for the institutionalized child care - oh wait, I'm supposed to be staying at home, who needs childcare, besides welfare moms who need to be off of their asses working- are we seeing the issue here? Of course not if you're living in that rich people fantasy world. When you find me childcare for varied hours (since minimum wage employment demands all sorts of hours) for a thirteen year old who needs assistance with things such as feminine hygiene, and a nine year old boy with severe ADHD and the temperment issues that go along with it, give me a ring. In the meantime I'll keep hoping I can pull a grant out of my ass to go to school and have childcare during that time.

Yes, yes I know I am sounding a wee bit bitter. Reading the news about the corporate bailouts where those poor horrible CEO's might be forced to live on a mere $500,000 for a year just brings tears to my eyes. I swear they can't live in the same world we do.
