I hear you! I've been on maternity leave since the end of July and as a result our income was cut by 2/3's. I'm going back to work mid-February and DH said that I can spend my entire 1st paycheck on things that I want.....though I think he's just trying to make me feel better about going back to work! LOL! I'm already planning a bunch of new diaper purchases.
