what! another one...i know, i know. i went to kohl's. i shouldn't have...i just shouldn't have.
i walked away about $100 poorer with some really cute clothes for the kiddos. well, they are still in the bag and i was trying to decide what to do. see, bo is in desperate need of some new clothes...not NEW, but clothes that actually fit his ever growing body. those little noodle arms & legs keep growing longer & longer!
kohl's was having great clearance (what did I tell you about clearance? my WEAKNESS!). but, i think i can turn this oops boat around! there is a huge TAKE 2 sale at the fairgrounds this weekend, starting today at 10am. the reason this is my saving grace is because i am having my garage sale starting tomorrow, so i don't think i'd have a chance to go down there otherwise.
my plan is to get down there today and get some stuff for bo, so i can take back all the new kohl's stuff & get back on track!
i am finding that it is the compulsion to buy new stuff that is luring me, calling out to me. it still has a hold on me...consumerism. that witchy, witchy woman. also, i am seeing my cycle of buying stuff and then either taking it back & buying used or just taking it back. baby steps, baby steps!
**i redeemed myself this morning: returned the clothes to kohl's & went to the consignment sale. not only was i able to find just the right amount of clothes for bo, i was able to find sister's birthday present...a doll house w/ accessories. all for less than what my kohl's bill was! ahhh, the joys of being back on track.

Good for you!
I sympathize with you; Kohl's just sucks me in!
kohls & target are my 'newmans' they get the best of me everytime!
Wal-mart, Target, and the bookstore are my enemies, lol
And, I take it Sister is getting the doll house AND the hair salon for her birthday? ;)
I gotta figure out what I'm doing for my kids' birthdays... Shouldn't be too difficult.
hugs!
