Who am I??

Really, who am I? I know who I used to be. I used to be no-nonsense. I didn't have time for silly promotional items. Remember your Senior year when you spent a zillion dollars on a senior book, senior shirt, senior pendant, etc? Nope, not me. I got a class ring. Period. In college I didn't even buy graduation invitations. Seemed silly. We made our own on the computer. (Kind of cutting edge back then). Having a child didn't phase me. Easton didn't grow up getting the latest and greatest items. Why would I? An empty box would entertain him for hours. So, somebody please tell me - why is it that I am obsessed with getting these Happy Meal toys for Camille? A Happy Meal toy! From McDonald's! I must have them. What have I become?

You are a 30 something mommy who feels that she was deprived during childhood. Therefore you are reliving your childhood vicariously through your daughter. This could be serious. I would see a psychologist immediately. Eating all those McDonald Hamburgers could really be bad for your health. :)

Deprived? With Big Granny around? Not a chance. I found out that one of my students works at McDonald's. I'm going to get her to hook me up with the dollies without the Happy Meal calories.
