Damn you Sam Walton!

I have a dilemma about shopping at Walmart. I am quite poor. I work full time but I make so little that I am getting Public Assistance. Not proud of it , but I have no choice. I am trying to finish college, but it's hard to do with work, kids, and lack of time.
I have shopped at Walmart because it's very cheap. I can spend as little as $80 a week for groceries and sundries. I can also buy a huge jug of laundry soap for $10 that washes 80 loads. Having to wash clothes for myself and 2 teenagers, I do a lot of laundry.
I buy clothes too. I am a plus sized gal and clothes at the mall are way too expensive. I don't really have a budget for clothes, so if I can spend $10 for a shirt, it won't destroy me. The mall has Torrid and Lane Bryant and those shirts are
$45.
I know people that work at Walmart. Yes they make very little, their benefits, if offered aren't the greatest. But, I have news for all of you; it's like that everywhere. Especially if you're undereducated or like me, never worked until you were 35. I work for a very LARGE conglomerate, I make $20000 a year as an asst. mngr.
I feel horrible knowing that Chinese workers are slaving to make this stuff I buy. Hell, I feel like I'm one of them.
Until this government demands the same deal foreign countries have concerning imports, we're all screwed. I mean if we start a company in Michigan that pays$18 an hour to make all of the products they sell at Walmart, you'd have a line for miles, and baby I'd be one of them. Corporate greed would drop that down to $8 an hour
I'm sure. With the economy being so bad in Michigan, most of the places around here actually pay less per hour than 5 years ago. They figure we're all desperate, and they're right.

Here I Come!

I have been blogging on MySpace for about a year now and decided, hey! why not annoy an even larger audience?
I am a divorced mother of two that had a horrible diasterous marriage for 15 years. Now I find that I don't know who I am, what I want, or if I'll ever bother with a relationship again.
I have wonderful friends, and a great family. I have very sucessful and interesting friends and find myself thinking, wow, I could have had this if not for this ridiculous waste of time called marriage.
I look at life with a sometimes jaded, sometimes innocent, point of view.
Just trying to find my new path in life really. I will have been divorced for 6 years this March. I spent my entire adult life with someone that made me feel inferior in every way. I'm trying to get past that and still deal with him because of our kids. I'm not stupid in any other way except for this. I am informed, and well read, just a bit out of touch after trying to survive after never working until the age of 35.
Lets see where all of this leads!
