WOW! What an eye opener, yesterday I call my one of my best friends to gripe about my hubby, and his lack of the Christmas spirit, probably because the state of the economy or the size of our last gas and light bill.. who knows. In any case, I tell my friend how my sweet mother in law slides me some $$ for a shopping trip we took last Saturday. The whole point of this $$ was for ME to buy something for myself (HA HA HA). Call it guilt, call it whatever, but needless to say I spent a small portion on ME! I found a shirt I liked from the Liz Claiborne shop that was only $7.99 and then later at Kohl's I bought some everyday earrings for $6.49.. I tell my friend this and she is utterly appalled I mean she gasped at me over the phone. She said "Melissa, Melissa you have to learn to treat yourself." She basically said that my hubby doesn't dote on me like I deserve because I don't take the time to dote on myself. I AGREE! But I am a mom and most of us wait to take care of our needs last. It is just in my nature! I will try to get better at treating myself, but it is gonna take time. :-)
I am not the only one who suffers from this right?

Yes, yes, yes, you are. Me, I'd have blown a whole $9.99 on a shirt and $12.99 on earrings (which had better be sterling, niobium, or titanium because I am worth it).
