I think this is a great story, Raven. Made me smile.

I agree with what you told Boltmom, too. Sometimes I have to sit back, take
inventory, forget the hassles with kids, all the cooking, laundry, bills,
errands, etc., and realize that I am blessed to be so burdened.

Hey, Boltmom, I'd also like to prove that winning the lottery won't change me.
