I really want to buy all the in-app currency for the room design app I downloaded. It's only $8, but would go through our Google/phone account, and there's nothing I can say to S to convince him it was a reasonable thing to do. So now I'm kinda stuck with no design money. Boo.

Yeah, as long as I limited myself to say $10-20 in micro purchases of games a month I could justify it. However, I would really watch my micro purchases (personally), because I would be the type to let them get out of control. But this is me personally. Maybe talk and decide an entertainment budget. Especially if it's something you use to relieve stress.

It's a silly design app I downloaded (for free). We rarely ever spend $$ on apps, so he would think $8 a ridiculous, frivolous purchase. I mean, to me, it's just $8, and it's not like I haven't spent more than that at a coffee shop, but b/c it's for a mobile app, he'd be all weird about it.

I never spend money on apps. But it doesn't sound like this is a recurring thing for you, lol. My FFFC is that I just realized the benefit of me being 100% in charge of our finances. Lol. A hasn't seen a bill in years. The downside is, you know, being in charge of all finances. Ignorance can be bliss.

I give DH crap for the in-app purchases he makes, which is sort of dumb because we have a ton of gift cards on our account so it doesn't even really cost anything, but really, when you run out of candy crush points or whatever they are, maybe it is just time to come out of the bathroom and spend a few minutes with your family, rather than spend $1.99 so you can keep pushing colored squares on your phone...

I haven't gone grocery shopping in 12 days. I have walked to CVS twice. For milk and bread.

I let my children gorge themselves on fruit and berries at my work today. Straight from the plant.
I'm hoping the repercussions don't occur until my husband is home to deal with the diapers.

Almost daily I pack up myself, the babies and a beverage (depending on the time of day) and drive around for an hour or so. They nap and I get to enjoy a drink without someone touching me. M is just getting old enough to notice when I do this. She'll be all, "Mama, why are we going home this way? It's faster if we go the other way."

E and A are now walking and I selfishly wish they would have waited a few more months. I was in no hurry to have 3 walking toddlers.

I let my three year old eat grocery store floor waffle yesterday. Because she was acting all 3 and I couldn't handle it anymore.

My kids asked for temporary tattoos yesterday. Daddy asked where they wanted them, and E requested either lower back or ribs. Where my tats are. I'm not sure if I'm appalled or flattered. Also they both have tramp stamps now.

Dh hasn't been home for dinner a lot lately, so I've been putting a movie on for the kids and eating by myself in another room watching vampire diaries.

DH and I just had sex in the kitchen while the two younger kids were playing with dinosaurs right around the corner/on the other side of the counter in the living room. It was great except that the dog kept trying to make eye contact with me.

I stopped by Dollar General on the way home. I didn't realize until I got to the register how awful my purchases looked all together:
Pizza/Breadsticks combo Chocolate donuts Ice cream Candy bar Two chocolate truffles

I'm convinced thigh tattoos are the new tramp stamp.

Sometimes I daydream about what a nice break it would be if I checked myself into the psych ward of the local hospital.
