I finally went to the " Mothers day lunch" today.

It went well, I tend to get real tense aound my mother and sister. There such a team. You can't help but feel like an outsider when your around them.

We had a good time though, we went to a BBQ rib place (lot's of side orders ummm) The lunch went well, I even subdeud myself when my sister decided to tell me she's easier to deal with in a relationship then me. Ok we'll let that one slide by...

So we decided to go over to Babies R us and look around for baby furniture. Now Tony and I do not expect "big" gifts from anyone. I mean I never understood that, it was our choice to get pregnant why should others have to drop hundreds of dollars. So I had no problem pointing out the MOST expensive stuff.

I pointed out the most expensive rocking chair! It was sooo comfy, my sister says "yeah but whats wrong with this one". I'm still not thinking price or presents and I sit in it and say "I hate it" Then it dawns on me when she began reciting the prices of each chair that this is what she thought she might buy for me. I felt like an idiot, here I am saying I love the 500.00 rocking chair and hate all the rest and she's trying to find something she can afford.

The same thing happened with my mom and the Crib. I wanted the 400.00 crib and the 550.00 changing table. Tony and I figured we'd save for these things. Now I discover that mom wants to buy the Crib and she's looking for practical prices. I feel bad because I really do want the expensive stuff. (maybe I'm just not practical enough) But I really don't expect them to buy such things.
