What a blow to the ego. While I never did fit in with my peers at my esteemed alma mater, I'm very glad right now that I don't have an alumnus cling on the back window of my van. It wouldn't be their best marketing move.
I guess I'm one of those 'welfare people' that no one wants to be.
But I'll tell you this: I HATE the fact that I had to apply for unemployment. Or food assistance. Or medical assistance. And I'm sure as shit not going to go try to snare a 'SD'.
However, my little guys don't understand. They just love the fact that Mommy can pick them up at the bus stop. And spend time with them. And redo their room. And fix them lunch. They don't understand that Mommy can only do that because she can't get an outside job that will provide MUCH more money than unemployment and MUCH more security (theirs).
You'll never judge me as hard as I judge myself...
