I had an epiphany yesterday - in the women's bathroom, at work. While not the ideal spot you gotta take 'em when they come. So, in the past I have had an addiction to shopping. I declared bankruptcy at 21 and right before I did it...I maxed every card out. Since then, I've worked hard and done really well at keeping it in check. DH helps with that of course ;) Anyway, I realized that the more anxious I get the more I want to go shopping. THEY ARE DIRECTLY RELATED. That's a huge deal to make the connection. Now, I just need to figure out what to replace it with. I tood my medication and the urge retracted but I'd rather replace it with something else. I'll have to think about it, maybe talk to my mom. Normally I'd say to replace it with crafting (sewing, scrapbooking) but that's not always possible in the moment.
In other, bittersweet news, I finished the munchkin's first year scrapbook. So what that she's 2.5 now :) It was fun to go through the notes I took and see the patterns that have emerged and see how some things are still the same.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to journal the things I want to remember about her as she grows. I don't know if this is the place but it just might end up that way.
