Good news/bad news
Well, school starts tomorrow here and and was going through my son's packet of papers that need to be filled out. There is a form for free/reduced lunches included. I checked the guidelines and lo and behold, we qualify.
This is a good thing cause well, it's free lunch for the kids.
This is a bad thing cause, I feel ashamed knowing that we're in a position to take advantage of this. We really ARE struggling. And, when you come right down to it, I lost my job because I wasn't performing as I should, and that's because I was a drunk. I'm NOT feeling sorry for myself, just amazed that this is where I'm at right now.
Does anyone know if the free/reduced lunches are handled discreetly at the schools? I don't want my children to feel ashamed. I'll carry that burden for them..
