Pity Party's Over
Okay, yesterday I was certainly feeling sorry for myself. I know how my hubby is and I know he's not going to change and I also don't believe in trying to change your mate to please yourself. He's the same person I married, it's just his spontenaety (sp???) with money now drives me nuts. No, it hasn't taken me 13 years to figure this out...we just make more money now which means more for him to spend. And I know if I went out and bought something that I *thought* I really *needed* that he wouldn't say anything about it. I'm happy with what I have though and I know that buying something isn't going to bring me any more than the temporary joy you feel when you get something new. My most valuable (and expensive) possession is my KitchenAid stand mixer...couldn't live without it. It's a kitchen necessity to me along with the stove, refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, etc. But I didn't buy it, it was a gift from my parents. I wanted one for a long time but couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money on myself...is that wrong? I guess as long as I have enough to pay my monthly bills I should be happy. It would just be sooooooooo very nice to have a little extra to save up and do something with! Dream on!
