30 Day Shopping Ban Update 1

21 April
I momentarily thought about loft since I was 1 block away from it. My mind was then flooded with some lunch commitments and I totally forgot about shopping .

22 April
It was a bright and sunny day today . I had already decided to dedicate this day to my family. We took baby K to a park this morning . We ran some errands afterwards. I enjoyed cooking  lunch at home with baby K surrounding me all the time , with her books and toys laying all around my feet . It was fun cooking that chaos . In the evening we had a birthday party to attend. By the end of day we all were exhausted and fell asleep . So no thoughts about shopping and a day well spent . Win win situation.

23 April
I was at work whole day today . As expected shopping was not even on my mind .

24 April

I had a busy morning but somehow stumbled upon my emailed coupon from Kohl's. The coupon was worth 5 $. So I decided to buy something for my daughter. i walked in the store ignoring all the women clothing. Quickly grabbed a 7$ tshirt in a larger size for my daughter. I got it for 2 $. I was overjoyed by the purchase that cost me so less . however as soon as I walked out of the store I started felling guilty . I felt like I was cheating on my "no shopping ban '. I could not feel at rest the whole day .

25 April

The guilt from yesterday is still fresh in my mind. I shopped a clothing item for my daughter and broke the no shopping ban . I still cannot get over this fact . But at the same time I do not have the courage to go return the item. So I have decided to keep it .Will see what happens as days goes by .
