Feeling patriotic

I went and got WIC checks the other day. It made me feel very patriotic. It is nice to see the government in action, helping those when they need it. It's the socialist part of democracy that I love the most. It made me want to go out and steal an American flag. What? They were all over the place with the fourth of July taking place. Who would have missed one. ;p
One pregnant lady at the clinic complimented me saying I looked really cute pregnant. She said she always makes herself look like a frump when she is pregnant. She didn't look frumpy but I knew what she meant. I wear things that make my belly big and noticeable and she had on a giant hooded sweatshirt.
WIC took a lot longer than I thought. They go over all sorts of health things with you including taking your blood for hemoglobin, checking your teeth and putting floride on them and all sorts of things.
We already used one check. It was basically $30 worth of groceries, which really helps with our budget. I will get a job sometime soon, but for a year now we get some assistance in the grocery department which is really nice.
