What do I find annoying? Working my ass off and never reaping any benefits. What REALLY annoys me? Working my ass off and still having to find a way to borrow money to get the things that Korben and I both need. Thankfully, I had enough money for the co-pay on daycare. However, now I'm struggling to find money for everything else.

Lucky me, I have friends. Lucky me, I can probably at this point qualify for food stamps. And especially lucky me, it's almost my birthday...so at least I will have that extra cash to fall on. Which upsets me, yes...but I would rather toss away one single birthday than leave Korben hanging in any way shape or form. Hell, who cares if I get a video camera? (Besides me, of course.) At least I will get to snuggle my Korben knowing I did right by him, which is more important.

 

What I don't get is how the ones that fight and work and power through some nasty illnesses just to get that one paycheck, end up getting fucked in the D.H.S. system. Food stamps? Nah. You don't need food stamps. You may not be a citizen of the U.S. even though you've shown your fucking I.D. and birth certificate and Social Security card 100 thousand times, no, they don't believe you...plus, you should be making the money by now.

Not going to go on ahead and mention that I got the fucking child support card today, only to find out that they cancelled it since I called last week to say that I thought maybe it was missing. Although at the time we had established that the card had, indeed, been sent to the right address, they went on ahead and cancelled it and issued a new one. Which won't be here for two weeks or so. *headdesk*

Thank you, Oklahoma government for fucking me up royally everytime I even deal with you. Thank you so very much for denying me any benefits even though it clearly states that I spend more than I make. (Even though I'm actually sending my son to a D.H.S. approved child care center and not fake paying someone else ridiculous amounts of money, which by the way isn't cost efficient when you can get child care assistance).

Anyways, I don't know what I'm going to do this week besides sit down and pray my pretty little ass off that somehow we pull through, again, like we always do with the help from friends and family. You know, since Sperm Donor is a piece of shit.

Okay, that's all...I'm done bitching again, for today. (Or for this hour, at least.)
