Tidbits from the weekend

It was so nice to have a weekend without entertaining anyone! We have loved having so many guests this summer, but we are completely worn out from it all. Although this weekend was a little exhausting, it was nice to have a little bit of time to ourselves!

- I made a pizza crust out of Bisquick for the first time and it was actually better than I expected! Definitely not my favorite ever, but it did the trick for a quick homemade pizza on a Saturday night!

- We got to enjoy lunch with my Aunt Sylvia on Saturday at the yummy Manna Cafe! She was on her way to Chicago and stopped in to see us and it was so nice to catch up with her.

- We were able to run a bunch of errands on Saturday and worked on some projects around the house that we have been neglecting for a very long time. It felt so good to feel like we were actually spending some time focusing on things that have been needing our attention for months. We even were able to totally clean our house - bedroom and all!

- We also got so snuggle on the couch and watch a movie on Saturday night - something else that we haven't had time to do in a very long time. Steve loves watching movies so it totally filled his love tank.

- We had a bunch of people over on Sunday night to watch the Packers home opening game. No, we're totally not Packers (or football) fans, but it was fun to watch all our friends that are fanatic about the Packers totally get into the game and enligthen us with all kinds of facts about every player that I'm sure we will never remember.

On to the bad part of the weekend......Babies R' Us.

We went into Babies R' Us on Saturday afternoon to pick up some gifts for a friend that I'm throwing a baby shower for next weekend. I went in excited to see all the cute stuff, knowing that it would most likely feed my desire for children. Instead, I left feeling totally discouraged.

I didn't know what HALF of the stuff in the store even was! On more than one occasion I found myself whining to Steve that I was selfish for even thinking about having kids because I was bound to be the worst mother ever. How could I care for a child when I didn't even know what half the stuff in the store was used for? Just looking at Sarah's registry completely overwhelmed me. So, needless to say we got our gifts and I was so happy to get out of that stupid store and left feeling so discouraged and deflated.

I felt a little better last night when Sarah and I were looking online at a brand new line of cloth diapers that Cotton Babies just came out with that are totally cute and economical! Sure, I may not know how to use a nasal aspirator, but I sure can hold my own with a stinky diaper!
