If you've got the money honey

I just want to know how you got it. Not to be all nosey or whatever, but these people who live in mansions by the lake and drive crazy expensive cars - or maybe they don't drive them, but they own them and have people to drive them around - WHAT do you do for a living? Are you secretly a drug czar? Are you selling your brain to science? Did you invent tupperware? I just want to know - because F and I make good money - we don't really want for anything - but we are never going to have that lifestyle.

And I guess I don't really want all of it. I just want to not have to worry about it so much anymore. I don't want it to consume my dreams and I don't want to sprout ulcers when I view our checking account balance. I'd like to believe that one day it'll just be a "thing" - like every other thing in life. Its there but not all consuming.

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? Mark 8:36

I'm not all about money - really I'm not. And as much as this post seems like I totally am completely absorbed by it - I try not to be. Its just weighing on me lately. Trying to figure out how to be the best mom and wife and employee all at the same time and GEEZ is that hard. I'm juggling raw eggs and they just keep hitting the floor - kerrrsplattttt - and raw egg goo is spackling my pants legs and little pieces of shell is getting stuck in my hair and not a single drop is landing in the bowl where I'm trying to make a cake. I just want to feel like I'm making progress.
