Sometimes when I see a donut I think of my mother. She worked in a donut shop for a few years while we lived in Miami.  My dad provided us with all we needed but my mother always liked having her own money...not having to answer for all she spent.  She went to work at 3:30 in the morning to "make the donuts". She has also cleaned houses, babysat, worked in a deli, worked in factories, worked at Walmart and made donuts...get the picture...she always had an emergency fund...and most importantly raised three fine children!
