Are their bellies full? Do they have a roof over their heads? Clothed? Warm? Loved by their mother? Keep trying to find work even if it's parttime. :)

Have you applied for food assitance yet? as mothers, sometimes we have to swallow our pride and ask for help.

I completly understand. I am getting $150/month in foodstamps for 5 people, three kids and two adults. They don't count two of the kids because they are only with us one week on and one week off and their mother gets foodstamps for them, so we can't. they are my SO's from a previous relationship. I am also pregnant. I only buy meat, milk, butter and eggs with our food stamps. Its enough to fill the freezer. I grow my own corn, tomatoes, patotoes, celery, broccoli, colouflour, strawberries, peppers, cucumbers, onions.... anything i can get to grow in this Michigan soil. We also hunt, we love deer meat and turkey meat. We have learned to make a little go a long ways. I also don't get much because i work a full time job and they dont take into consideration that i spend over $500/month alone in gas to get back and forth to work, its over an hour drive one way. Your not alone, and as long as your kids are fed, you are okay, doesn't matter if its not super healthy.
