No apologies here, my friend.

I had written here before that I was looking into getting ads for my blog. I had also written before that a fellow mommy introduced me to a site that pays me for writing up a post and putting the ad in the post.
Well, it seems I have pissed someone right the fuck off.
I guess I should feel bad that this person has a problem with me writing for $2.50, for just adding a link (that you don't even have to click on, mind you!) to a post I would write anyway. I guess I should feel bad that I only make $9 an hour at a job that I was lucky enough to get. I guess I should feel bad that Daddy works in a warehouse job that he loves but they don't pay him much either. I guess I should feel bad that at the end of the month I cry because I don't think we can make rent because gas and food and diapers and babysitters and LIVING is FUCKING EXPENSIVE. I guess I should feel bad that this person is obviously so very successful, and owns a home and has money and time to take multiple vacations, while I work my ass off just to have a roof over my head, all the while wishing I didn't have to buy generic ANYTHING for once. The little bit of money I am making from Payperpost is helping my bank account stay in the positive instead of the negative, so I am not going to apologize for writing for them. I'm actually going to thank them, because while we can make rent, and while my son's ass is covered, they are helping put my mind at ease, knowing that my bank account won't have a negative dash in front of the balance.
So I won't apologize for putting the ads up. I'm not sorry I am taking extra steps to help my family. I'm just sorry that not everyone has been poor enough to know what it is I'm going through and have gone through. I am sorry that some people are just well-off to begin with and will never know what it's like to worry about the things I worry about. You guys don't have to click the links I put up here, it's up to you. Like I have said before, don't judge, just understand. This is my blog, I write for ME, my feelings, my thoughts, my decisions. I don't write for approval from anyone. My days of wanting everyone to like and accept me are finished. I'm not sorry if you don't like it, you don't have to, that's YOUR decision. And I WILL apologize to the people this is not directed to, sorry you had to read this. But I had to get it out, I had to let my feelings known, because that is why I started this blog anyway, to get my feelings OUT.

The payperpost crew was actually at the Today Show yesterday. While I'm not forcing you to watch the video, I will tell you that these people are trying to survive, just like me. I'm not a fan of the Today Show, so obviously I didn't catch them there, but they provided us with the 'inside look' on their visit. I thought it was cool.
