yawn….
The week has ended and I don’t feel I have much to show for it. No new pictures or special projects to share…no funny stories either…just exhaustion!
I’ve been preparing for a killer garage sale. It’s a bi-annual thing here…a group of gals get together for a BLOW OUT designer kids clothes sale. Not exactly a “haul the rubbermaids full of wrinkled clothes to the curb” kind of shindig. So I spent all week ironing, pricing, ironing, hanging, ironing, organizing. Did I mention I hate to iron? Did I mention I had so much to get rid of it was shameful?
The final tally isn’t in yet. The sale continues through tomorrow. But I do think I have made close to $800. Not too shabby. Although I did SHOP the sale too and I made an impressive dent in the size 6 selection. I can’t deduct that from my earnings though or it wouldn’t sound nearly so impressive.
On a side note. I spent the rest of the week trying to figure out why S is REFUSING TO EAT? That’s right…my Chunky Monkey would NOT eat ANYTHING! After several calls and a trip to the Dr. we have determined that he was reacting to a change in formula. I had recently switched him from the UBER expensive Nutramigen to Soy. Yeah…Mr. Picky Pants doesn’t seem to be able to tolerate it. Good thing I did my shopping THIS WEEK! No more fun money for this mom!
Off to find SOMETHING to photograph…I’m feeling blogger guilt….
Hi Jenn!!! Sounds like the sale is going great… and you’ll get rid of things and make some nice KACHING…
