I'd rather struggle than get a welfare check

Let me explain to those that swear they know but they really don't....through my blogs u can see that my life hasn't always been easy. I haven't always had the finer things in life...am I complaining NO....when I laid down and decided to bring 4 lives into this world I made a decision to put their needs FIRST! I have never been the type to try and keep up with the latest trends or whatever. If I don't got it I don't got it call me whatever you want but when it comes to bills and my kids I'd rather do without! Let me explain something the last time I bought myself a pair sneakers was 2009 the last time I actually sat in a salon was 2012 the last time I bought some heels was my birthday last year (and they were not new) everything I have in my house is goodwill bought....my cell phone was bought in 2011....last time I purchased (meaning owned) a car was 2009 (broke down in 2011/12)...so before u go around saying what I DON'T HAVE please understand MY KIDS GO WITHOUT! Hell yea I shop at Walmart or goodwill for my youngest kids...my older ones have hustles to provide themselves with "the latest fashions" one does hair...the other one works....I do all I can to see that my kids ain't looking crazy....my bills paid and my kids are straight...I can worry bout me later! I wish I would be seen in a club or out spending money knowing a Bill needs to be paid or my kids have activity fees that need met! Miss me with all that! Yep I'm a boring person....nope ion go nowhere....yep I be looking a hot ass mess...and if I do look decent it's cause my daughter did my hair and Nisha let me borrow her shirt....yep say what you want about me but guess what MY PRIORITIES ARE IN ORDER!! So just know that when I get to the point that I'm actually "LIVING IT UP" I still won't be blowing money....cause long as I got 4 kids u better believe THEY GONE COME UP BEFORE I DO!! So instead of criticizing....understand I do this cause I chose to struggle rather than have these TAXPAYERS take care of me and mine!!! Some ppl get that Lil check and don't use it for anything but the club hair nails and a tired dude that got another chick!! So imma end this blog with this......I don't watch nobody else plate but my kids....cause I will be damned if they starve!!!
