Starting our day with the daily whine from the MSM. Good ole MSNBC leads the way.

First snippet sums it up nicely --

Karla Washington worries how she will afford new school uniforms for her five-year-old daughter.
Washington, an undergraduate student, earns less than $11,000 a year from a part-time university job. The salary must cover food, rent, health care, child care and the occasional splurge on a Blue's Clues item for her only child.
"My biggest fear is not providing my daughter with everything that she needs to be a balanced child, to be independent, to be safe, to feel like she is of value," said Washington, 41.

What's a single 41 year-old women with extremely limited job skills doing trying to raise a family.

Some time in the past 20+ years she needed to look in the mirror and say if I want to accomplish this in my live I need to do some things different.

She didn't make wise choices and now I get to cry while eating my cereal.

Actions/decisions have consequences.

Welcome to life.
