I need an intervention. :/

I can't stop toy shopping.  My kids have enough and so does the angel we adopted from the angel tree.  I keep finding all these deals though.  Tell me no.  I need someone to take away my computer.  I'm telling myself I can buy now and use them as bday presents throughout the year.

    It's slickdeals.net that is killing me.  JC Penny has some crazy deals right now.  I don't ever shop there either.

    I keep doing the same thing. A couple of weeks ago I had a talk with DH about wanting the kids to appreciate things more and not wanting to over buy for Christmas like our parents thought they had to do. I was pmsing.

    We were done shopping for the kids last week. But, on Monday I bought DD a dollhouse and yesterday I bought DS a train table. DH asked me, "I thought we were done buying for them?" Well, I think the train table is more for me so I don't have to move all that crap when I vacuum! Tonight I told him, "Okay, we are really done. For real." I think.

    ::runs off to check out slickdeals.net::

    I'm awful about it because I shop from about August on.  Then on Christmas Eve (or a few days before if I can), I pull everything out and realize how much overboard I've gone.  I know what the kids' big presents are going to be but keep picking up small presents and keep getting tempted by other big presents.
