Crazy Lady takes over

[Neagrm]

I am nuts, totally nuts, need to have my head examined, maybe a lobotomy. I never thought I could be so crazy as I seem to've become! What is happening as I grow older? I'm becoming Crazy Lady and I don't like it one bit. She is NOT a good influence at all.

In fact, yesterday she went out to run a couple minor errands. Several hours later she returned home after spending $250 at Hobby Lobby! What is with her?! HL had some great sales, 50 percent off several things Crazy Woman likes, 50 percent. How can you beat that? I watched her go berserk slowly but surely. She was only going to look at the scrapbook stuff, but she got waylaid by the ribbon department, the candle department, the yarn department, the frame department -- they all had 50 percent sales.

She totally lost her mind then and thought, Oh I must get things when they are 50 percent off, think how much I'll save. I must get it only when it's on sale. She at long last, made it to the scrapbooking department, everything 50 percent off. She completely forgot son needs a birthday present for this weekend and she also really, really needs a new pair of shoes, forgot that she needs groceries for son's birthday dinner, that she spent megabucks on a plane ticket last month, that she wants to do some things next month ....

I tell you I have talked and talked to this Crazy Lady until I'm purple in the face. She is an invader, INVADER. Yesterday she ignored my exhaustion because she was having such a heyday in Hobby Lobby. She was supposed to go to Michael's because she had a 40 percent-off-on-one-item coupon. She never made it that far. (HL was on the way to Michael's.)

She thinks she's going to have neighbor ladies over to make cards and scrapbook so she "needs" these things, and you know you must get them only when they are on sale and they won't be on sale when you really can use them so get them now. She has a one-track mind and everything else flew out of it.

She is not me. She is the Crazy Lady who sneaks in when I least expect. When I was at checkout and saw the total, I suddenly wanted to sink into the floor and disappear forever. Hubby will be so angry, angry, angry. He'll be so mad. She is one Crazy Lady, a foreigner who causes problems in my house. I do not like her. She barges in and takes over and I cannot think when she's around. I've asked her to go away, stay away and she doesn't listen.

I cannot seem to set boundaries with CL but on rare occasion when I catch her. I do not understand her. I get so mad at myself for not controlling her and the stress she brings. Guilty, guilty, guilty! There are poverty stricken, hungry people out there and she is still doing this. She see's "Sale" signs and goes berserk. I think deep inside she is unhappy about something I can't imagine and uses this to distract herself. ??? She morphs into Little Child when she gets home and husband turns into Angry Parent a few days later when he sees the charge come in. It's such a stupid scenario.

Now she has left again, leaving me behind to deal with the mess. Maybe I'll go take it all back to the store. Then again, maybe I'll go play with some of it and forget things a while. If I can find the energy because I am feeling very, very tired. My body was not up to it. Ha, even though I kept going because the Crohn's seems to be at bay again so no D and cramps. <sigh, sigh, sigh>

Now you've seen the worst of me, my greatest weakness along with eating sweets when I feel better. Am I losing my mind as I get older? It feels like it when the Crazy Lady comes around. :-(

Well, at least the stuff was on sale...
It's OK, I think we all have a little bit of the Crazy Lady in us. I know I sure do.

Hmmmm..... let's make lemonade! How about a handmade gift for the birthday this weekend? And is there a craft fair? Can you sell what you make? Can you give lessons in what you do.... thus supporting your habit?



We all have a little Crazy Lady in us...
