Being a woman is a joke!

I mentioned on my status update that God is a man.  Why?  and am I ticking off all of my God Fearing friends?  (probably) but why?  First....

As young girls....we wish and pray for boobies...We get them, ususally before our other GF's get them and then are teased about them by the guys...Then we wish they are bigger (we must, we must, we must increase our bust) and eventually wished they were smaller...We get pregnant and they become huge and our husbands become enthralled...which sucks cause they hurt and they cannot touch them.  We have the thrill and joy of feeding our children, wincing in pain each time they latch on...and then watch as they sag with each suckle.  Then...we get cancer in them.  WTF.  Whose brilliant idea was this?

Periods, Aunt Flo, Mother Nature, Monthly gift...call it what you want..We all have our own names for it, monthly hell is mine!.  We get bitchy, sad, sensitive, emotionally and physically, bloated, cramping, back pain, front pain, etc etc etc..All this, so we can have children.....ummmm...if God was a woman, we would have installed an on off switch.  When we are done with having kids, we would simply turn the switch off and all of the pain would go away.  We get to spend a fortune on pads, liners, tampons, pamprin, midol chocolate.  None of it actually makes us feel better.  When we tell our husbands our monthly gift is here, they act like we do it on purpose...They accuse of of making up PMS, they say if we are bitchy, we must be on the rag...OMG!  MEN MUST DIE!  We get to go to yearly visits to the Gynecologist...put our feet u in stirrups and carry on a conversation while *shudder*...I am so not going there...but dude...dont talk to me when you are in there and expect me to talk back!!!!

And what do we get for all of this pain and grossness(its just gross man) we get cervical cancer, endometreosis, cysts, uterian cancer, ovarian cancer, STRETCH MARKS! 

Man....if I make it to heaven...I am so having words with whoever was in charge of creating this process....they so screwed it up!

What, exactly, are our schools teaching????

So, yesterday, I get a notice from C3's school telling me that he is in the hole 20.75 for lunches, milk etc.  Ummmmm...what?  I make him lunch every day.  Turns out little dude liked the fried oily crap they serve there better, so he was buying lunch on credit.  WHAT!

While discussing this with him, C2 says she's been getting snacks and C1 says he bought a double lunch the other day.  WTF. 

C1 and C2 say they assumed that there was money on their account as they keep letting them buy things.  C3 just didn't get it. 

Just when exactly, did I authorize my children to have the use of credit cards??!!  oh wait, I DIDN'T! 


Thank you, Dist 26.  You have taken away the teaching of art, music and gym class.  You have shortened the day my children have to learn.  You are cutting corners, cutting expenses...and now you are teaching my children that if you dont have the money, its ok to buy it anyway.  Or better yet, maybe you do or maybe you dont have the money, who knows....CHARGE IT!

Ummm... Isn't this one of the reasons that Dist 26 is in so much trouble in the first place. They didn't look at the big picture.  They didn't take care of what they were spending, how much was coming in, how much was going out.  They simply keep taking out more loans/bonds etc.

So, now you are teaching my kids the same thing.  Its ok to not know if the money is there or not.  We dont buy things with cash, we charge it and worry about it later. 

If I go to the store and I have no money in my account the store will not let me leave with my purchase.  If my kids go to lunch and want to buy a cookie and they have no money in their account they are given the cookie. 
What the hell are we teaching our children??  Isn't this how our countries economic crisis started in the first place?  People buying things when they knew they couldn't pay for it?  So Dist 26 is continuing to teach the same thing here...dont worry bout it just buy it.  Worry about paying for it later. 

I teach my children that they are not allowed to buy on credit.  If we are out at the store, you cannot buy something and pay me back because your money is at home.  Its not allowed. 

When they go to school, however, they are taught the exact opposite.  Buy whatever there hell you want, dont worry if you can afford it or not, just charge it. 

You cannot tell me that kids paying for their lunch with cash takes up so much time that the lesson learned is not worth it. 

Math problem from C2'S homework.  Susie has $5.00.  She buys a hot lunch for 4.25 a milk for .75. 
Does she have enough money to buy a cookie for $.10.  If she goes to Dist 26, SURE SHE DOES.. 

JUST CHARGE IT!
