Kimberly Mishoe proudly announces, "I'm a rich girl! With a rich husband! Servants! Limo and driver, too!"

Kimberly watches the rain pound upon her lovely lawn and lovely flowers!
"Blessed rain for my lovely lawn and lovely flowers, just in the nick of time, Thank God! Blessed rain for my thirsty lawn and my thirsty flowers!" she shouts.

Kimberly sees herself living in a big brick house, bigger than the houses that her neighbors' own! Her big house is surrounded by a big tall private fence.

She sees herself living in a very quiet expensive neighborhood.

Kimberly sees herself taking a swim in her big swimming pool that is many times the size of her neighbors' pools.

She sees herself with a huge backyard, just big enough for the rich friends she invites!

She sees herself as being very beautiful and she sees her husband as being very handsome and affectionate!

Suddenly reality sets in!
She hears the baby crying!
She rushes to the cabinet! Fixes the baby a bottle!
She sees a wet baby that needs changing!

She is just another single working mother with a small baby to support on a limited income!
