Last night I was forced into rehab, actually I would not call it rehab, I would call it cut off cold turkey. The hubs words still resonates in my head, “You should be embarrassed on how much Gymboree you have!”. At least I got my last fix in using my Gymbucks, even though the hubs thinks it took a lot of Camp Pie Hole bucks to get those Gymbucks. He does admit that the Petri Dishes are always adorable and he loves all the attention het gets when they are out and about, but I have taken it to a level that needs a massive restructure. I do have to agree, I do need to cool my jets. However, once the gantlet was laid down I did call the crisis Gymboree Hotline (my close friend and fellow Gymboree addict for consoling). She even said I needed to get some space between me and my favorite website/store in the mall and half jokingly said I should seek professional help. . . I wonder what Frolicking Lady would charge for a few online sessions?
So to my faithful readers (all six of you,yes I gained a few more followers!) I ask your forgiveness ahead of time if I come across more testy and irritable than normal. I am undergoing the “detox” phase. At least I still have my “The Real Housewives of DC/ATL/OC/NJ/NYC/BH”. Oh, I could just see something horrible happening to my DVR in the middle of this to really send me over the edge.
I now must go and bury my head in the “new clothes smell” of my recent final purchase for a long while.
You are walking a dangerous road my fellow momma. PD 1 & 2 are very young. You are setting a very precarious precedent. I speak as the mom of a 12 & 13.
Proceed with caution down this costly road. (Abercrombie & Hollister are quite expensive!)
I know, I think that is why the hubs is putting the kibosh in it now. He says we need to plan for the tween and teen years. 🙂 Right now they have no idea about clothes… so I should embrace that… but they won’t let me dress them at 12 and 13. Thanks for the confirmation to my very expensive future. It will help keep things in perspective!
Ya think they make a weekend rehab for Gymbo freaks? Sounds inticing to spends a weekend in palm springs, no kids, no gymboree 🙂
The first step is admitting you have a problem. I am at step Negative 1!
