Best Day Trading Software

I am so sick of my kids complaining about not having everything that their "better off" friends have; they do not understand how difficult it is to be a welfare mom these days.

Things have gotten so difficult, and food stamps will not buy beer and cigarettes, but do my kids understand this? Hell, no! They seem to think I can just walk outside and pick dollar bills off of the El Camino I have up on cinder blocks in the front yard. I tried to teach them good money management, by showing them how little cash one actually receives from trading in food stamps for currency with Fast Johnny, as well as how little is left over of that money after the Budweiser and Marlboros have been bought, but they just don’t get it! Why is it so difficult for them to see how far those few measly dollars have to stretch to make it through to next month?

Sure, it is easy for them to see their glamorous friends, the ones who have hot meals and no duct tape patching their clothes, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t appreciate the things they DO have. I say, if government cheese was good enough for me back in the 70s, it’s good enough for them! Isn’t it enough to show I love them by having their initials tattooed on my back? A mother’s love always goes unrewarded, it seems.

At any rate, what are some ways I can cut corners, and provide a little more in the way of extras to keep my kids from griping so much? I already have signed parental consent for them to sell plasma, and I have told them about the free juice and donuts they will receive at the donation center, after they turn over the money to me, so I am wracking my brains trying to come up with some more fun activities for them. My years at the Sorbonne, earning my masters degree in flour and salt dough sculpture, did not prepare me for how damn needy this pack of brats is! What else can I do to keep my kids happy and survive these difficult times, until the economy picks back up again, or I have another kid I can get welfare for?

You know it, Big Bad! You still have no proof, though, lol. Hey, I was by the Orange Show grounds the other day and thought of you; you are one of only a few people on here who know the Inland Empire!
Hiya, sweetie!
