Garage Sale!!

Well, I made it through my first garage sale this past weekend! Eric thought I was crazy to do it, it is so much work, more than I realized or I may have not done it. It was great though because my friends Jennifer and Shanna came and brought some of their stuff and we did it together. That made it much more fun. I worked so hard all day on Friday trying to clean out every closet and room in my house so that I could get rid of any junk I did not want to take to the new house. I worked until 11p.m. on it and then my alarm sounded at 6:15 on Sat. morning, it was time . . . All items were priced and set and we were ready to go. It had been storming really bad Friday night and was supposed to be raining Sat. morning. I rushed downstairs to see for myself if Mr. Weather Man got it right (normally he doesn't)! It looked ok! So, garage doors went up, the other girls unloaded their stuff and we sat (eating cinnamon rolls and drinking coffee) and waited looking over all of our wonderful stuff that we had (so we thought) priced so fair. Let me just say, it was nice to have that hot cup of coffee, my morning usually consists of a sip between changing a diaper, helping one go to the potty, feeding two little sweet boys etc. I won't drag this out any longer but it was obvious this was my first garage sale because at about 11 (our first customer come around 9) and yes, it rained off and on that morning, it was time to do markdowns, the stuff was just not selling! I could not believe it!! I was amazing at what was selling, the cool stuff no one wanted!! In the end I made a pretty good amount of money all which will be spent in minutes for the new house!
So the count down is on, one week from today we will own a new home!!! I can't wait!! Our new appliances got put in yesterday they look amazing!! Anyway, can't wait for the big house warming party!!! Well, I will try to post again before the big move but can't make any promises! I have so much to do!! Thanks for reading!!
