I really, really like it when the sun shines and today is not one of those days. It is very hard for me to be motivated when it is dreary and overcast. The temperature is wonderful!!! 70 something, but then, there is the problem of no happy, warming, shiny sun!
The hubster, Trig, Baby J and I went out and about and ran a couple of errands. D is at his moms and L is at her dads for 2 weeks--this started on Friday. So, that left the reat of us together until Sunday at around 5:00 when we pick up D.
My husband has an unbelievable amount of energy and motivation--it seems all of the time. On days like this--not such for me. I could literally stay inside and read, blog, rearrange a room or something. In the course of the time since he got up this morning, which was 6:00, you would not believe what he has accomplished. Makes what I have done seem very meager. This is one of our areas of yin and yang.
My plan for this afternoon----I WILL get Baby J's new clothes from the wonderful
Growing Kids Sale put up and sort what she is about to out grow. I am meeting with Shelly at Serendipity (this is a local resale shop) on Tuesday to consign what baby clothes I did not get to the
Growing Kids Sale and also some house ware stuff--because I recently redecorated our living room and went from Red, Gold, Green to a beautiful Blue, Brown and White color scheme.
Ok, back to the growing kids sale. I checked and as of today, I am sure this does not include what is being bought today, so, from Wednesday through Friday, I have already made $280.00!!!!! I only spent $250.00!!! Thanks to my sister helping me I have made my husband very happy in the fact that we actually have a profit this year!! If any of you have questions on the
Growing Kids Sale, let me know. I am a BIG advocate of it and have been for a few years now.
Have I mentioned that I love the Growing Kids sale lately? Just in case you have not heard--not likely--the sale was the 5th through the 7th and was super! My sister and I were consignors (this was her 1st time, I am a repeat consignor) and after the experience I think she is hooked too! If you cannot tell from the picture that I took, the check is for $300.85!!!! I was amazed--of course my husband said that it is only fair that you know that I spent $235.00, bust still that is a profit and a profit of $65.85 is not bad!! I am not a Garage Sale kind of person. Meaning I do not like to have them. I do however love to go to them. One of my favorite things to do is get up early on a Saturday, load up the baby, L, K and myself and go find the really good yard sales. Before starting, we always stop at Julz Bakery for a donut with sprinkles for K and Bavarian filled for L along with a drink for the road. L and K usually stay in their pj's along with the baby. A little before noon we are done and head back home for the day. Oh, got side tracked! Back to the Growing Kids part---I was sooooo excited when I logged onto the web site and saw how much I had sold! Sunday was the pick up day and I went at about 2:00 p.m to pick up my check and about 12 items of clothing that did not sale. Husband went to deposit check today. I know it is not much money to some, but I still felt rich if only for a little while. The other pictures shows Baby J and her pretend kitchen that cost $5.00!!
