Dr. Phil: So, do you love yourself financially?
Vernz: No.
Dr. Phil: What made you say that?
Vernz: Because I can only run around my needs and not much of what I want?
Dr. Phil: How did you arrive at this situation?
Vernz: I used to do fulltime productive work, I used to spoil myself with lots of things this world can offer, but when I get married and bore a child, I made the most difficult decision ever in my life, with heavy heart I left my managerial job in exchange for a full-time reproductive job.
I received weekly allowance, let’s just call it that, this sounds less political than support from my husband, eventually I got bored and said I have to look for some ways to rust-guard my brain, although my husband has more than enough for my family’s needs and wants … not mine, LOL! So I accepted an offer to teach college, part-time, Waaaaah, I realized now bloggers are better off than teachers … don’t ever ask how much a teacher is receiving that’s an open secret. It made me buy a pizza on weekends though, and read some sweet words from my student’s evaluation sheets, so I’m comfortable with that.
But honestly, on a personal level who wouldn’t ask for more, yeah, blogging made me like an old dog learning new tricks and hope to make extras here, and I thank you all for supporting this blog in effect I might make some $.
But at the end of the day, I always assure myself, I’m still blessed than those I see everyday on streets begging and knocking my car window for food carrying along with them their children. Awwww, I’m teary-eyed… Dang! That’s enough!
Thanks Ladies, see you again next week at K’s Beauty Queen Gene for another round of Girls Talk.
but nothing compares to the personal touch you are giving to your child...

So funny how you started with the Dr. Phil bit :D It's always nice to have extra for our wants and wishlists, but you're right, we're still blessed if we have a home and can afford to eat (and afford to have an internet connection, haha).
