Sewing Machine...

Mine bites! It works if I tell it how much I hate it and then pleading with it just to sew a bit more. I have been wanting a new one so badly, but to spend that kind of money on myself - no way!

So today I come downstairs - the kids are gone to school and Alex says, "I was trying to sneak out the door so you couldn't get mad." "Why I said?" "Happy Bday" says he pointing at my new digital - no foot pedal needed tons of stitches sewing machine!

I went from thinking "wow!" to thinking "crud that's a lot of $" - which is why he was trying to leave before I came downstairs.

I really love my sewing machine!!!!!!!! Why do I feel so guilty for $ spent on me? Probably because it came out of somewhere it was not suppose to... But, I really love my sewing machine! I'll put my birthday $ from my parents and scrimp on groceries for a couple weeks to replace the $. It will be ok... I really love my sewing machine! Can you tell the guilt and the happiness are at war in my head?
But.....I do so love my new sewing machine!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Alex and my boys for buying me something I love so much! :) And thank you Alex for coming home from work early and then going back out and picking Nic up at practice. I loved having you home early just as much as my sewing machine! :)
