Trading one addiction for another pills to shopping

For the record the pills are cheaper

Funny kept busy all day (still going) and yet I couldn't make it without a noon dose.  Did skip the 1/2 a pill at 10 and just took the whole one at noon.  I couldn't stop feeling yucky inside, ibby jibbies all over, and I still had so much to do.

Managed to take my youngest to her state testing (I homeschool her), then went to Target and after spending nearly $200 I realized I didn't have my credit card in my purse, had to use the emergancy card Ugggh, found my credit card on the floor of the car (and the top was down) Seems when I asked my 12 year old to put it IN the purse that total "in" part must have been confusing.  Hiring a professional organizer to help get my house out of the choatic mess it is in right now so I picked up some storage bins and such. Then ran to bed bath and beyond for $230 of things I didn't need (just needed coffee pods from there and that was only $40).  Managed to meet up with hubby for lunch, Spent another $140 at the grocery on again things I don't need) gotta run to pick kid up from school, find time to potty, put dinner in oven, take kid to ice skating and oh I forgot to actually "work" today so I will be on the puter all night.... and I am west coast time, so any body who can't sleep, I'm here :)

Of course you need a new whisk just because it is blue etc., you just made my day, I can't stop smiling - we all know what it is like trying to justify all those things we buy that we don't really need. And I who run a translating business from home also know exactly what t is like when you simply don't have "time" to work during the day and have to work all evening.
It is so uplifting to read some funny everyday stories as well as the serious stuff we are all dealing with. Have a great day.

Do I really need a new whisk because the handle was soft and blue, and really, a strainer that has foldable sides that can go over the sink :)  Don't get me started on the Creme Brulee torch, mixing kits and the little ceramic dish thingies.  I am sure hubby will agree that the plastic $1 silverware seperater thingy was working just fine, there was no need to buy a wooden one, do I dare admit to this cute little ice cream cup with a lid that has a cow on it and a little itty bitty spoon *grin*, I am sure I can explain the jelly roll baking pan, and did you know that they now make these rubber baking dishes, total bendable rubber and I had to get pink (for breast cancer), no more hard on food, just bend that baby and pop the crunchies off.  I did manage the bathroom rugs that I went out for along with the razors, toothpase, mouthwash, toothbrushes, and milk

Oh and had to buy the new peter pan DVD, just because it has TINK in it :)  Oh and the grocery store consisted of $40 in yogurt and 2 bunches of flowers, yeah flowers for me :)

Thank you guys for keeping me going, and Tink for busting my ass all weekend and not letting me get to the bottom of the barrel.  I sure felt close, going outside in the sun felt so forgein, though I would still like to hide in my house :)
