Problems with Motivation

I'm having a hard time getting motivated today.  I feel like I was busy all weekend, and didn't sleep well this weekend either.  I had a great weekend, don't get me wrong.  Friday night, we went to Ihop with some friends and then we all hung out back at our house until about 3:30 am.

Saturday, we went grocery shopping then Shawn had his nerd session (Dungeons and Dragons) at a friend's house until about 2:30 am.  While he was there, my sister, brother in law, and nephew came over.  I hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving, so it was really nice to spend time with them.  Ben doesn't get a lot of time with other kids either so playing with CJ (his 1 year old cousin) was nice for him.  I was surprised at how well Ben acted since he's never really had to share his toys or his snacks before. 

Sunday, we went to my Aunt and Uncle's house.  It was so nice to see them!  I've really missed them a lot.  I can't believe how much my cousins have grown.  They are really turning into sweet, respectful, good looking, young men.  Also, Sunday was Shawn's brother's birthday.  He turned 21 so we all went to the Argosy.  We ate at the buffet which was wonderful as always.  Because of Ben's allergy we decided to bring him outside food.  I asked him what he wanted and he said tacos so we went to Taco Bell for him.  Shawn's family also brought Ben candy so he could have a yummy dessert.  Then, after dinner, everybody went and gambled while I kept Ben occupied by "investigating for funny business" in the rest of the casino.  Ben liked the decorated ceilings.  After the Argosy, we went back to Shawn's parent's house for cake and Big Love.























Today, I'm exhausted.  I'm not motivated to do anything and I need to snap out of it this afternoon.  We'll see how that goes.  I'm in desperate need of tips for breaking the lack of motivation trend I've been in lately.  Please help.

Tomorrow is Shawn and I's two year anniversary.  He has a test before the new semester starts tomorrow evening.  I will hardly see Shawn on our anniversary and we have no money to celebrate with at all.  I'm kind of bumming about it. 

On the bright side, 7 weeks from tomorrow our baby finally be here.  We still have hardly any clothing for her, haven't made her bedding, haven't gotten anything back from my sister yet.  I know everything will work out and I'm going to have tons of help, but I'm starting to stress.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.
