WIC

So they day has come when I finally need to join WIC. Due to a series of unfortunate events I am now unemployed, so that's leaves one income coming into the house, and unfortunately it's not much. So to ensure my family can eat I had to trump to the WIC office, check my pride at the door, and get some government assistance.

Now I may be confusing WIC and food stamps but I honestly didn't receive much. This is pretty much what we get for the month, and trust me, it's not much.

I remember seeing a picture of two refrigerators showing a comparison of the stock of a working person and one on government assistance. The full one was of the person on assistance. Like i said before, I may be confusing the two, but my fridge sure as hell didn't look like that when I was done shopping.

I just found it interesting how people demonize others who are taking assistance without knowing their situation. I can tell you from experience this is the LAST thing I would ever want to do but I have to feed my kid right?

So until I give birth to this kicking and wriggling bundle of joy in my womb I won't be able to go job hunting. So the WIC office and I are going to be pretty acquainted
