I love my jeep but.....

[charlie_girl]

I did something on impulse, something that is not normally me. I sold my car, bought a 98 Jeep TJ sport, something I always wanted. I did not tell H or the kids, thought I would surprise them.

So for once I did something for myself, did it ever backfire on Mother's day. For the 1st time ever, my H bought me a mother's day gift, spent a whole load of money getting a CD player, speakers and installation for my car, the one I sold of course. The jeep has a system, so cannot even use it in that. So not only were the kids extremely disappointed, when H called me to ask if I had opened the gift, I had to tell him about my 'surprise'. The comment that I got was "this is why we never buy you gifts".

I understand their disappointment. One thing that has always been a problem is I am extremely unmaterial, so it makes it hard to buy things for me. Obviously gift giving is one of H's love languages, and once again I managed to kill that joy, unknowingly of course. So there I sat, feeling like crap, that everyone was upset about getting me the perfect gift and I couldn't use it.

This is just me venting, wish this damn stuff wasn't so hard!!
