Garage Sale Weekend

Well, I decided against better judgment to have a garage sale this weekend.  There is a community sale and we had to give $3 to help with the cost of advertising if we wanted to participate.  We kept going back and forth whether or not we wanted to have one and 1 week before the sale we decided we were going to do it.

I didn’t get around to going through the boys things until late on Monday, which means I only had about four days to get myself prepared.  We went strawberry picking on Monday which was a whole other story, and I made 9 half pints of freezer jam on Tuesday, right in the middle of garage sale stuff.

Let me just say for the record that I HATE, no I LOATHE, garage sales!  I Hate getting all the stuff ready, I hate going to them, and I hate watching people rummage and bargain with someone over a ten cent item.  It seems like everyone wants something for nothing.  I told my dear husband that he can sit out in front and deal with the people and I will deal with the toddlers inside  LOL.  If I paid $30 for Gap jeans and I have them marked for $3 , then you should be a happy customer!  If ya don’t like that price, try and find almost new Gap jeans for that price.  Garage sales can be nice for a rare find, but to tell ya the truth, I am just not the hunt and peck type.

I hope we make some money because I am so tired and I didn’t realize how much junk I had, so I would be very appreciative of anyone who takes it off my hands.  Wish us luck.
