Bitter sweet

I used to have high hopes that alL things would work out, then there is Murphy's Law, and that is exactly what happened. For the most part I believed that people would want to better themselves, yet what I am observing while working in the community of victim mentality, it is easier for the individual's to allow others to take their responsibilities, blame them on others, manipulating people to "feel sorry" for them and of course rescue the party from their consequences. That is exactly what happened last evening with this 10 year old girl, her care giver mother, and the enabling that occurred. As a society we will be paying thousands for this one act of stupidity on the part of "her parent". I am sad. It probably annoys me most because of the injustice of the situation, that is my "hot" button. At least we only lost one night's worth of pay. I am hopeful that we can have another student next week-end to build some monies while Mark is unemployed. With the interview that Mark goes to on Monday, maybe it will result in the job that he will enjoy and provide for our family. Never the less, this "job" does help give me something concrete to do and earn money too.
