We have pigtails!!

Last night I realized Hadley’s hair has reached the point that it is long enough to put into pig tails. I have tried this a few times and the child acts as if I am pulling her hair out strand by strand. I mean really it doesn’t hurt to put a clip in your hair, I mean it doesn’t hurt me. So this morning, I found two semi matching bows and did her hair up, it was adorable- she cried while I did it, but was fine once I was done. When we got to school, you would have thought she was dolled up for a pageant the way every single teacher in that school raved over her hair. So this might be the new go to hair do for us for a while, at least until it is long enough for a pony. Guess this means I need a new inventory of little bows and clips…

This morning I came across a pretty interesting read on another blog I read, Keeping up with Kelly and Company at, http://www.keepingupwithkellyandco.com/2012/01/blog-gets-little-political.html< . I am a pretty liberal gal, I admittedly vote democratic, but as a single mom working mom that doesn’t qualify for any kind of assistance, I see lots of flaws in the systems that do exist… so have a read

Put me in charge . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?

You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
