A small vent...

You know what I hate....being OOP makes me feel guilty for every cent I spend.  I planned to cook dinner tonight, but I just can't make myself do it so I'd like DH to pick up a 8.99 Delite pizza from Papa Murphy's instead and yet I feel guilty spending that when I could just cook!!   Seriously,  it's not like I'm planning to go out for a gourmet meal. 

I'm sure the lack of that 10.00 in our baby fund will not affect our ability to afford treatments at all, it's just my own mind!!

TTC #1 since 12/07 SA 9/08=borderline normal HSG 1/09 found R tube blocked Multiple IUIs both with oral and injectible drugs from 2/09-2/11 Started domestic adoption process in 5/10, homestudy complete 9/10 Failed adoption after home with baby for 2 weeks 11/10 Blessed through the miracle of private adoption with a son, born 6/6/11 (his grandma's bday) 7lbs 9oz 20.5 inches long! So worth the wait!

    I totally get it!!  Add to that I am a SAHM so I was paranoid spending one cent before we started this journey....

     We are OOP for IUI drugs and if we go IVF we are totally OOP so I am feeling you!!!

    OMG, I deal with this ALL the time beign OOP, it makes everything so stressful!! But, hey... sometimes we have to live and enjoy life and it sounds like the $10 pizza will help you have a stressfree night.  I'm about to go spend $40 at the liquor store, so I'm worse than you :)

    Ooh I understand.  I agree with pp though that anything that will make you less stressed is worth it.  But now I want some Papa Murphey's too.

    No, it won't affect your ability to afford treatments. DH and I went through the same thing when we bought our house and we actually had some to spare Big Smile Enjoy your pizza, girl!

    Yeah, now all I can think about is Papa Murphy's! :)

    No, really, I know exactly what you mean.  It just makes me sick how much all of this costs.  I know it will be worth it, but it's getting old not having any money because we're spending everything on IF treatments.

    Enjoy your pizza and hope you have a relaxing evening!

    Thanks ladies for making me feel better!!  I ordered the pizza and it was actually only 7.99....bargain, huh!  I actually feel more relaxed already because my kitchen is clean and I didn't want to mess it up!  We already have a fully stocked wine cabinet so at least I don't have to spend money on that!!
