Soooo READY! Did you hear about school lunches?

Ok, so the weekend at work wasn't what I had hoped it would be. I really screwed up - I'll admit it, but not as I was being treated by the end of the night. I will know tomorrow if I still have my job, or if I can be grateful to look for something else. Maybe I am just too disabled to do this kind of work, maybe my mind really is a mess and I can't do it. FINE! Give me my Rosie's overalls, boots and a shovel and stick me in the heart of Texas on a piece of land! I would go tomorrow if I had the money to accomplish what needs to be done! (ok, so a tiller would be a huge blessing in addition to just a shovel). I will compost and create great soil, and grow all sorts of healthy foods. To make matters worse, my cat is in heat - have to take care of her soon! I can only hope I will be able to go back to school in the fall and get the funding I need for another year, then we will be able to save most of it and get out of here. My car will be paid off and more for savings. I can't wait! And now I read on the internet news that Chicago schools are banning home made brown-bagged lunches? What in the world? Forcing kids to eat school lunches or go hungry? NOT MY KID! I can remember growing up and having my mom bring me a shrimp salad sandwich just before lunch period so it was still fresh and cold, and the best tuna sandwich in the entire world. Even cream cheese and jelly was a great sandwich. But now they are saying no processed sugars, no white flour, no, no, no!!! The lunch in the article was PROCESSED CHEESE FOOD, NOT REAL CHEESE (I don't ever use that "cr**), canned pears loaded with sugar, a hot dog roll made from white flour, not whole grains, a piece of turkey, again processed and full of salt, oh and of course, strawberry milk to top it all off. First of all, if you go by the Government Standards for WIC, none of that garbage would pass muster with them. So why is it ok in the school lunch system? Not for my kiddos! They may like their school lunches of chicken tenders, but soon it will be homemade lunches with REAL ingredients and no preservatives! The article stated that kids are obese, not my guys!!! underweight is more like it! (good for them, not having to live with the problems I face every day being obese). I am ready to say goodbye to Big Brother more and more each day. Everything I hear and read on the news scares me, but fortunately I have my Heavenly Father to calm me and I know HE will protect and take care of me and my family. Hopefully my business will take off soon when the advertising hits, then I will be able to work for myself and at my own pace and earn the money I am worth so I can save for the future we so deserve.
