This month my goal is to only spend money on needs. All of the sudden all these deals are suddenly showing up. Yesterday Sarah brought home a book order. Ohhh, so hard to not justify books as needs.
My mind: Books are needs. Children need books.
Me: Yes, but we can borrow them for free at the library.
My mind: True, but you can't always get to the library, the baby is sick remember?
Me: I know, but I already have hundreds of books.
My mind: But not all on Sarah's reading level.
Me: She hasn't read all the ones on her reading level yet!
My mind: But you can get the Magic Tree House books 1-8 for only $12.95! Do you know what a killer deal this is?
Me: I know, but it's still not a need.
My mind: Go ask Alan to get them as a Christmas present. He hasn't made this stupid commitment.
Me: "Alan? I want to show you something."

He..he. That's funny. I love, love children's books. I joined a club so I could get some free books. Way to justify!
