Buying something just for me

Justis needed poster board for a history project he’s working on. So after I picked Skyler up from dance and dropped her off at gymnastics and picked up Keaton’s friend and dropped him and Keaton off at church, I headed to Target. (I could have just said I went to Target to buy poster board, but then I wouldn’t get any sympathy from you for how busy I am. ;))

This was the first time I’ve been to Target in quite a while. Lee usually does all of the shopping and Christmas is over so there is seldom any need for me to go to the store.

As I walked in to the store I thought, “I’m going to buy something just for me.” I rarely buy anything for myself. And I love Target. So it seemed like the perfect opportunity to splurge on myself a little.

But as I walked through the aisles I couldn’t think of a single thing I needed or wanted. I picked up some big band-aids and tape because Spencer scraped up his leg yesterday. I picked up some ponytail holders because Skyler is supposed to wear her hair up for gymnastics. And I got the poster board Justis. I even scoured the office supplies section to see if there were any pens or anything I wanted. (I’m a big sucker for the office supplies section. Yes, I am a nerd.) But there was nothing.

So I bought apples.

Yeah, I know. I’m just one wild and crazy lady. I’m at the store by myself. I can buy whatever I want. And I buy apples. They should handcuff me now before I get even more out of control.

  2. Apples? Thats great though! A healthy and non bank-draining choice! Good for you. You deserve to treat yourself right. At least it wasn’t something that sat around and didn’t get used. Snap decisions are usually a waste of money.

  3. We all say we want more time for “me” but the reality is we are wired to spend all of our thoughts and energy on “them”. I’m with you, though. I love Target. Just having a chance to go there with out kids yanking me to look at this or that is a treat.

  4. That happens to me all the time. I will decide that I want to buy something for me… and then… bam… I find nothing. All the sudden all fashion in the store is awful….

    Oh well. Apples are tasty!
