Ok, so I've always despised those words, picturing Kardashianesque ladies stepping into their clown Suburbans with several bags of three hundred dollar shoes, bought with almost maxed out credit cards, that they won't even remember they have in a week.
Joke's on me! I've just been longing to do "retail therapy" . My husband and I are both feeling like consuming like there is no tomorrow.
My husband has been under a ton of stress at work, things are very very busy for him with less and less employees. I just broke my ankle and became pretty much useless for a few weeks, which with two kids under three has put even more on my husband's plate. Thankfully our families are visiting and helping with the running the house. Little inconveniences/emergencies keep popping up right and left, and my husband is just plain too busy to take care of them and I just can't do much (it's slowly getting better but I'm not allowed to be any weight on it, and the pain meds after surgery made me super drowsy and nauseous). Anyways, sorry about the long complaint, I'm not trying to throw ourselves a pity party,I just need some encouragements and gentle facepunches maybe!
My husband and I have been catching ourselves lurking on Amazon, EBay and Etsy (among others...). My husband to fight the stress and me to fight the boredom. We both have this stupid feeling of "well every thing is going to s**t, our emergency fund is certainly not going to grow anytime soon, so might as well..." I don't even know what we are looking to buy, I think we just want to feel the accomplishment of "doing something" and the thrill of expecting something coming in the mail. Gah! I feel pathetic!
Any tips to cope with an impending wave of buying crap we really don't need?
Thanks all!
