TO Parents of Teenagers and Young Adults out there---I commend you!! If you have survived the worry, the what ifs, the constant planning and replanning, the laundry, the homework, the friend changes, etc-----and there has been NO blood letting or lynching--congratulations! Sometimes I wake up look outside, think about all there is to do and I think--"just crawl back into the covers"-
I read an article about a woman with 8 children. She gets $1,500 for each child from welfare for their clothing and housing needs. She gets medical medicare for their needs. She also receives food stamps. In addition they all get a free breakfast and lunch at school. SHE makes way more money than me!!! What am I doing as a single Mom struggling to teach 30 sixth graders everyday and take care or a house, etc. Trying to send two kids to college because by working they don't qualify for government grants--WHAT am I thinking??? Our government is broken--I'm a woman without a country.
Well---can you see that I am in a FUNK?? I only walked 3,000 steps as the howling wind and sleet really discouraged me--IT IS suppose to be SPRING!! It snowed a foot in the mountains. Finally I went to my favorite new website--www.1000awesomethings.com and smiled!!! Check it out.
