Frivolous gifts and moms
Is it just me or is it common to the general mom population? I never buy frivolous stuff for myself like my husband does. He collects skis, motorcross stuff, trumpets (weird combo, eh?) and other things that he really enjoys regularly. But I always feel guilty unless what I buy is for the kids or is something I need to run my business, my household or to become a better mom. Seriously folks, I buy the jumbo pack of bikini undies (Hanes My Way) at Target while my friends are buying cool and sexy looking stuff at Victoria's Secret! Of course I've long given up on the sexy part but it would be nice to buy something that I could use to entertain myself beside a paperback book. So I bought myself a Honda Ruckus scooter. Yep. Kick ass looking. Totally useless in my neck of the woods but I can still tour the streets around here in my spare time. Uh oh. What spare time? Holy crap, what have I done!!!??? Anyone wanna buy a new scooter? Just kidding. I'm keeping the sucker and joining the Hell's Angels. I'm sure they'll be foaming at the mouth to be seen with the likes of me--48 year old mom on a step through scooter that red lines at 30 mph. Hmmm. Maybe they'll take me on as a charity case??
