My weekend

My weekend can be summed up in two words: traffic and shopping. I left early Saturday morning to make the two hour drive to visit my mom and dad for the weekend. When I got there, we went shopping…and we shopped all day.
I started on my way home yesterday afternoon and should have been home by 6:30. Long story short: There was a fatal accident, I was rerouted and had no idea how to get back to the interstate, Troy came to my rescue and five and a half hours after leaving my parents house, I was home.
My dog is an awesome traveler and kept me company during all this and I my husband is the greatest guy alive and I couldn't help falling even deeper in love with him yesterday. :o)

My cousin makes a Dang Good Point.

I received this today from her:

I'm starting a petition!! I want to change the government!! Seriously, I'm not joking!!! So I work at a grocery store right...not glamorous I know but it's a job to get me through school, any how, I can't tell you how many people ABUSE the help the government gives them!! People buying other peoples groceries is an everyday occurrence!! I see people every day that don't use all of their WIC items because they don't like the cereal WIC gives them, but they'll use the food stamp card to buy the kids Fruity Pebbles and spend $25.00 on TWO steaks.....yea. people on food stamp eat better than my family, that has two people working!! How shitty is that!! Then the said people turn around and buy 2 cartons of Marlboro's!!! That's $84.00! Why not cut back on the smokes and use that money to provide for YOUR family!! Why do we have to work so hard, to provide for you and your when you obviously don't want to, or maybe just don't have the motivation or ambition to... Oho I forgot.... to support a generation of dead beats........................ I can't tell you how many people send their kids in to the store, little kids mind you, to buy groceries on the food stamp card!!! Some kids think and act as if they are completely humiliated......and I don't blame them, while others think that money grows on tree, walking around card in hand ~ "The Deadbeat American Express" I like to call it, and they spend $30.00 on CANDY!! Shut up...... have people lost their F-ing MINDS! Ok! I know that sounds really mean, I have no problem with people getting help when they need it, but the government gives money to EVERYONE, why do I have to pay because you have a drug problem? Not my responsibility, I honesty don't give a damn....... keep making your money selling, don't collect from the government! Another perk of being in America, if your a crack head the government pays you for that!! but here is my, I waited on a former police officer today who was FIRED from his job because he has a HUHE drug problem and he was buying 25.00 steak with his food stamp card.......Does this bother anyone else or is it just me? How is it possible for people to get away with this? So any way here is my theory......At most jobs you have to take a drug test to get or keep your job, so why not make all the people collecting WELLFARE pass a drug test in order to get or to keep getting their benefits??? Good Question right? So that is going to be my petition, to our wonderful government, only in AMERICA can the system deny the people who genuinely need assistance in order to give to those who won't even try to help themselves!
