Hundred Racks

Right now I wish I was sitting on this right now. When it rains it pours, right? My worst nightmare while in school has come to fruition - hubby lost his job! At this point we need money like never before. With this test comes struggle, but also strength and unity. To be honest, Im not in much of an optimistic mood so all of the "glass if half full" bit is just a psyche booster at this point and it doesnt make you feel better to have an empty fridge or no lights. So, IF I was "sittin on a hundred racks" like the picture here is what I would do with it in this time and place:





1. Get rid of all my debt: school loans, past due bills, IOU's, credit card, car note


2. Fill up the fridge and pantry with foody goodness


3. Purchase a 5bd/3ba house in Tempe on the "lake" with a massive Jacuzzi tub, decked out backyard, on a culd-de-sac

4. Retire my mom because she is the best gratti in the world

5. Vacation with hubby to Bahia, Brazil for a month in December

6. Vacation with family in St. Lucias next summer

7. Create a full paid scholarship for African American women pursuing careers in Nursing or Midwifery

There is more Im sure, but thats a good start. Hey, a girl is allowed to dream right?
