He he he! I feel like a teenager with her first job. My client paid me with a 20, two 5's and 30 one dollar bills. I wanted to come home and shower it all over my hubby, but then I'd have had to pick them all up. So instead I handed him a folded wad of bills, grinning from ear to ear. It feels so good to earn money. I have always felt like I've really accomplished something when I get a paycheck. Even when we were living in the hellhole of the Midwest (Carbondale Il.) I felt better on payday. There was the thrill of knowing I'd be able to buy diapers once the check was cashed, but the act of receiving pay for the work I do has always been a bigger thrill for me than the amount itself. Cash is a great validation.
