Piper
If you look in her left pay, you see the shaved leg from where her iv was put this week. $700 later (and no more blue frisbees in the house) we are back 100%!

I had a conversation the other day with one of #1's new friends from her bible study. #1 had mentioned that this girl had a "interesting" family life and that her parents were divorced. When he arrived, I asked if that was her dad. She said yes. I responded with Oh, ok, are you with him this weekend? Are we taking time away from you too? Then her response: "No, my parents are back together. I'm not really happy about it. I really don't like my mom at all ... I like being with my dad a lot more."
Wow ... those are some strong words to say to someone that you have only met twice.
I wonder what this child is really learning at home. She told #2 that she should really dress like a skater ... because she would be much cuter. Really? What the heck is that about? #2 told her that she dresses fine and she wasn't going to do that.
After sitting at the table with the girls and talking about both of these issues, I told them that I loved them for who there were. I hope that I have done enough to know that they are enough. They don't need to change for anyone.

The company
I just another article bashing the company that provides for this family, Walmart.
Look at these numbers.
Our associates know the truth: We typically pay as much or more than the competition, the majority of our associates work full time, and entry-level pay often exceeds that of union hires. We offer quarterly bonus opportunities and have paid out $550 million in cash bonuses this year. We also offer careers, not just jobs: 75 percent of our store management teams started as hourly associates, and we've promoted 165,000 associates this year. Of those we hired last year, 20 percent were rehires - meaning they worked for Walmart, left, but came back. I could go on, but the bottom line is we are offering competitive jobs, and we treat our associates fairly.
