For Sale.

It must be pretty important for me to be up and out of bed at 6:30 AM on a Saturday morning...


We were up at the crack of dawn for this silly idea of a yard sale.
I now remember why I haven't done one in years and why I dislike them so much...

* the early mornings

* the de-junking

* the pricing of everything

* the anxiety of bartering

* the JUNK... I mean "Treasures"

It is just a lot of work for a couple of dollars.
The kids even set up a sucker/otterpop/drink stand and sold to people that would stop by the yard sale...They made $45.00 to take to California later this Summer.

They were pretty proud of themselves.

Over $600.00 later...

YES, YOU HEARD ME!!!

$600.00 is what I said.

I am serious.

I think that it was worth all of the hard work, de-junking, pricing, getting up early, sitting in the heat, bartering with people, (which I hate so much!) and one last trip to DI; it was a good yard sale, BUT I am NOT doing it again anytime soon.

PROMISE.
