Place to call home

I’m 42 years old. I’ve almost always lived with, next to or under the thumb of my parents. Well, three weeks ago my daughter and I moved into our own place, it’s our first apartment by ourselves. We were going for a 2/2, but we got a 3/2. It rocks. I love it, and we’re very happy there.

I am getting my tax refund this weekend and I will be bringing the rest of our family home with us. See, my parents have graciously taken care of my cat and dog for us. The only problem is that my cat has been living on his own in our old house. It’s quite sad. So, they will be coming home to stay with us. I can’t wait. It’ll be great. Also, my daughter has decided she wants a cat of her own. See, animals tend to gravitate towards me. So, we’re in search of a black kitten…or black and white kitten for her. Wish us luck.

Blessed be

Proud and WHITE!

Okay, I know I've made a stand about this before. However, I'm completely sick and tired of this crap.

Why on earth do all the other nationalities and races get their own grants, and colleges? You know good darn well if a group of white adults tried to do this for "white" kids we'd be called racists. This is bullshit!

We have the NAACP, we have the NCF, HCF, NHU, a nd so many more. OMG! If the caucasians, white, non-"miniority" people did this it would be a call to Congress to stop!

Seriously, I'm having to work my ass of to put myself and my daughter through school. I didn't go out and continually have kids so that I could live off of walfare or beg for hand outs. So, because I had ONE child out of wedlock and raised her on my own and raised her right. She's never gotten into trouble, she doesn't drink, party or sleep around with guys, or girls. She's not gay, and neither am I. (With that said...mind you we are a "Gay friendly" family. We do not judge others. However, we're sick of other's getting everything!)
We are penalized and told we have to get a loan. There are no funds for us. BULLSHIT!

For once I would like to be proud of being "white", caucasian or non-minority and not be called a racist.

This sucks! I'm just whining now...
