[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 566417"] Well....husband and I did do something pretty extravagant for ourselves this year. When we got married, I weighed 110 pounds. We were also very poor back then. I had .25 carat diamond set in gold - very small, plain ring but I never took it off. Well, of course I gained weight and it got to the point where we had to cut it off. :( I have worn fake rings for YEARS now. He still had his gold band that has a missing diamond. He knows that I have really, really wanted a real wedding set for a very, [I]very[/I] long time more than anything else. We were at the mall together on Sunday and he mentioned that we should swing by the jewelry store and see if he can get approved for financing. So we did, he was approved and I picked out a very nice wedding set. He wanted me to try on something bigger and I scoffed but tried it on and of course, absolutely loved it!! He told me that he had been looking at that set for me (husband has stopped in a few times unbeknownst to me). So, we got it and he got a new thick white gold band with no diamonds this time. It was not planned (at least, not by me) and I choked at the time frame we have to have them paid off in, but it is the only extravagant thing I have done for myself in a very long time, heck, maybe even ever. We plan on taking every commission check he makes and plopping it down to get it paid off quickly but I feel guilty about it. We have been married 16 years and I think I deserve a real set, but when I think of the other things that money can go to, well, I start feeling guilty that it shouldn't all go to just me. Anyhow, that is my Christmas/Anniversary this year. They had to send it to be sized and I am waiting anxiously for it to be done. I am hoping I can get past the guilt and actually enjoy wearing it and looking at it every day... Why do us moms always feel so guilty about doing something for ourselves???? [/QUOTE]
