Money can't buy happiness...

But if you're already happy, it could sure fix a lot of things.

Our little family does all right. We make enough money to have everything we want and a little in savings. We have a lovely house, 2 pretty nice cars, are well dressed, and eat out several times a week. We don't need money.

That being said, several times a day I find myself thinking "if I had the money I'd..."

First...I would find my mom the best treatment, and best doctors to treat her. For the last 11 months, my mom has been fighting cancer. She is now cancer free, but has a lot of trouble getting around due to the side-effects of surgery, chemo and radiation. Her hospital bills are astronomical, and she is a business owner, so her insurance premiums are only getting higher as well. This could get me started on my rant as to what's wrong with health-care in America, but I won't go there. And No, I don't think universal health care is the solution. I have a whole separate rant on that.

Then...I would pay off all our debt, quit my job, and enjoy my very quickly aging babies. Aaron's salary is more than enough for us to live on, but thanks to student loans and some credit cards abused by college students, my working is a necessary evil right now.

That's all I want. A healthy, happy mommy and to be the best mommy I can to my kids.

What would you do given a large sum of money?
