So last evening Dave and I had the wonderful job of climbing into the attic whilst it was still 90 degrees outside(preheated to roast inside). Oh my god I had no idea how much stuff I had for the Garage Sale we should have started this weeks ago when it was still winter! Finally he stopped at about 8:40 so we could put the girls to bed(the attic is over their bedrooms and Emily has nightmares about monkeys when Dave goes in the attic and she's asleep, you only think I'm joking!)
So I started pricing last night oh man I'm so not going to be ready by Thur. I worked all day today just putting baby clothes in stacks quarter, fifty cents etc. Well sort of I did 2 quick layouts with my new kit had to that BoBunny paper is calling me! I can hear it!
Upside to all of this is we have so much stuff I should be able to make some money to buy a new Iron yes I'm selling mine in the garage sale and new lamps for the Family Room and anything else that doesn't make it this weeks PURGE! I'm not kidding Dave has taped off the area I'm not allowed to look at for stuff to sell. It's so bad the girls beds are going and we're thinking of borrowing an air mattress. Now before you think I am the meanest mommy in the entire world for selling their beds out from under them literally. You should know we ordered new beds in April they are supposed to come in 3 months from when we ordered. Well 3 months is the Monday after the Garage Sale! And I know if I don't sell them now they will come that Monday and I'll be storing beds for an entire year to sell in a garage sale I may or may not be interested in having!
Ooooh and the Punch Bowl we looked for for weeks has now been recovered! Dave now has to admit we have a punch bowl and stop looking at me like I'm crazed! What else did we find oh the Sit and Spin Abbi has never seen this and it's just her size. She is too cute she said "Oh Wow Cool!" when I brought it down. And The Slip And Slide which I plan on suprising them with on Thursday! Emily is too funny when she walked into the living room and saw the bags and boxes and larger toys all she could say was "Oh My God". She now asks me about everything are we keeping that or selling it.
Our playdate plans kinda got Mufungo'd for tomorrow so at least that buys me a little more time to price stuff and set up. I have another table coming and I'm considering buying clothes rack to use? Paula and Seth are coming Thur for a bit to help out and my MIL is coming on Friday so at least someone can keep an eye on the kids and I can pee without closing up etc.
In other news it's freaking hot, did I say that already. Dave only wants to eat ice cream for dinner which would be ok except we should probably feed our 2 small children something healthy! They want Hoho's for breakfast, lunch and dinner that would be wrong right? For them I mean not me! LOL
The camera has turned both my kids into little models. They both even Abbi(yes she's 2) vogue. On the other hand is has turned my DH into a fist full of bad bad bad sign language! If there is a hand gesture for it he has shown it to me lately! I probably have a picture of said hand gesture. And I may burn them to a CD to keep for later blackmail! Right now he's safe he did just buy me the camera afterall! If he wants to flip it off who am I to complain! Maybe I can blow up the pictures and stick them to my car windows that way I won't be disobeying any hands free law they may pass while I'm trying to work my headset for my cellphone!
WARNING: For anyone traveling to Illinois especially the Chicagoland area. We now have a hands free cell phone law. You may get caught holding your phone to your ear and pay a hefty fine(translation fund next years Taste of Chicago). No sorry I mean you'll get a ticket(translation fund next years Blues Fest). Please use your headset. Which I know you have no idea how to opperate so you will be just as distracted trying to figure it out while driving! Be SAFE! Oh and there were some new tax laws passed as well (notice here the IRS is not getting involved with Taste or Blues Fest!)
Ok enough of the public service announcement. Back to pricing items. How much do you think I can get for a flipping(literally) sarcastic DH? $5? Too Much?
