Thanks for this! A few Q's:
What did you buy at REI? How often do you get hair appointments in a year? Do you have a date night/day once a week on average? What does your DH do for work?

I bought 3 out of 4 of kids camelbacks. Then I bought myself a bike (I sold both my bikes 3yrs ago & finally decided I wanted another).
Right now I'm on a 6-8wk between hair appointments because I've gone blond & I have a lot of gray. I didn't used to dye/cut my hair often.
Date nights are a few times a month. MIL has kids over for sleepovers anytime we want but I try to keep it to 1-2/mo. We never pay babysitters.
He's Principal/Owner (one of several) of a very large Architecture Firm. We also own rental properties.
(PS--I have different screen names on Tapatalk vs Proboards & I have no idea how to merge/fix that...so I show up as different names depending on what device I'm on).
Wow, this is an extreme week or no? My bare calc is over $3500 gurrrrrlll lol
Yes, some of the buying random stuff was more than normal. Holidays I do always spend a lot prior always & my brother coming in town drove my desire to spruce up the house a bit. But I'll be honest, it seems like stuff is always coming up...this week will not be pretty either.
