The Working Momma

One of the good things about this new job is all of the shopping that I get to do for it.  I needed a whole new wardrobe for my new job.

When I worked in the plant, I wore Nomex (those fire-resistant jumpsuits) and steel-toed boots every day.  I had one suit and a couple pairs of khakis to my name.  I wore sweatpants, shorts, t-shirts or tank tops underneath my “blues” everyday.  I had no slacks and just a few nice shirts that fit.  How in the world was I going to manage to work in an office with that kind of a wardrobe?  I would have to wear the same thing every third day!

So, after I found out about the job I talked to HH.  I explained the situation to him and surprisingly he understood.  He told me to go and buy whatever I needed to get me started for the new job even if it meant we had to take the money out of savings.  I immediately went out and went shopping.  I got shirts, slacks and of course…SHOES!

I know that I will have to do some more shopping and I should have done it all in the first place since I had my shopping pass from HH but I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty about spending all of that money.  I hate feeling guilty over shopping.  It is one of my favorite things to do.
