Late night confession:

Soyager

I think I have a problem...with spending. lol

In all seriousness, I've felt a little depressed lately and I think I am trying to compensate with some retail therapy.

Last week I bought:
new clothes for B from Carter's and Gymboree
$35 of merch at Wild Dill for $12 from Eversave
4 Mommy Necklaces from BHO (some will be gifts, I swear!)
2 pairs of pants, two shirts, and a skirt from Boden &The Limited

Today:
a new crib
new bottles
toddler spoons
carseat
3 pairs of boots for me (H told me, "Get whatever you want" and then was shocked when I did )

So, most of this was necessity. However, I always feel guilty about spending money even though I work hard to earn it!

Well I must really have some sort of problem then because I get some kind of vicarious shopping high from all of your purchases...especially the three pair of boots!

To my credit, the boots were already significantly marked down and then they were another 30% off of that! And I refuse to wear anything with a heel to work more than once a week, so they were necessary.

I hate, though, that my husband can buy a few pairs of pants, some shirts, some ties and two pairs of shoes and be professional-looking for months/years. I have to think, "Okay, but if I wear a nice trouser, are these shoes going to work with THAT? What about with a skirt?" grrrrr

I'm just jealous...

I have major spending guilt too. I felt bad when I started buying nicer toilet paper because I got sick of the cheap stuff.

Sigh.

It's dangerous shopping as a pick me up. I should know.

I am jealous too.  We've been trying so hard to save money lately that I had a twinge of guilt about buying an $8 newborn diaper the other day from Spots.  I have bought this baby no more than 5 diapers probably since I found out I was pg (actually I bought a few beforehand, lol).  I did spend $30 the other night at a consignment sale, buying Quinn some winter clothes and a $8 baby sling....

I can completely relate.
