desperate h*usewifing

I think I just spent too much money on GB's birthday...which is not to say that he is not worth it or that the gift was overpriced, it's just more than I can really afford right now but I'm going to make it work somehow because i want to do something nice for him and things have been verging on rocky lately...i think that adjusting to the new house - once the initial excitement wore off - has been a bit harder than either of us anticipated. It's been a test of our patience, our ability to compromise, our willingness to give an inch...(I won't even get into the whole what-color-should-we-paint-the-bathroom debate).

Actually, I only spent $100 over what I had planned. Wait, actually I spent $100 over the new limit I'd set for myself yesterday which means I actually spent $200 over my limit. But I've made some killer sales on eBay recently so it's actually only the aforementioned $100 over my limit...i'll take the money from my super-secret desperate housew1fe savings account and call it a day.

it's a little sad to think that a year ago today i could've spent twice this amount on his gift and been unfazed...but a year ago i didn't have a house to show for my poverty so i guess it all balances out...

what was my point? oh yeah, i'm dead broke now but I have a good birthday gift for the spouse and that makes me happy
