Shop No More

Well, garage sale season seemed to have been short lived for this shopaholic :( DH and I had a "talk" about my shopping habits. He basically said that if we want to move forward (i.e. save for a house, get out of debt, etc...) I am going to NEED to stop shopping. Well, not necessarily stop shopping, but stop spending. That basically means stop shopping. I am a sucker for a good deal - no doubt about that. I understand where DH is coming from, but don't think I am going to give up shopping without something from him in return! I made him promise that if I give up shopping, he will do something fun with me at least once per week. Fair trade? I think so.

If you are sick of hearing about my turmoil over whether or not to go back to school, go ahead and skip this paragraph... For those of you that like to share in my torture, read on. I woke up today thinking the best decision for me and my family might be to go back to school. As hard as it is for me to think about, I think it is what I need to do. It isn't even about the money or the prestige (if there is any?). It is about having something of my own that I am passionate about. It is about building my own future along with building my family. I have always been one to want it all and even though I love my little girl soooo very much, I think I need to suck it up and leave her during the day while I finish my education. I know it won't be easy, but I need to at least try to finish. My mind might change again tomorrow. Stay tuned.

My next post will be all my shopping finds the last few days. I am just too pooped to upload all the pictures right now.
