Please don't rain on my garage sale parade!!

July 2nd, 2008 at 04:30 am

The forecast looks IFY for my sale. I am not going to even waste time getting all worried! Not worth it! If it rains......so what!

Did a grocery trip for a resident tonight. She is going to pay me for three jobs I did for her. I will get paid when her daughter returns from Montana.....I think she has the checkbook.

Found more stuff for my sale. Things here and there and little things I see.

My friend was coming over on Thursday to help me do some cleaning in my house...but I called and asked if he would come on Friday. He agreed to the date change. Thank goodness. It was getting too stressful!

I rode my bike to work...yahoo. IN fact I found a shorter trail/ path to get home and to work faster! It saves me about 4 mins. It sure is fun to ride my bike. I really have enjoyed getting to know my bike all over again. Saw some cool birds as I was riding to work today. Nature is so nice on a bike! I highly encourage getting to know your old bike or getting a new one.

Nothing free at work. NO I take that back..a resident gave me three free yougurts with Activia that she does not seem to like. free yougurt! Strawberry flavored.
We had a resident die last night. She was 90. Her name was Margaret. She was cute and a tiny whisp of a lady. She is in heaven now. I am glad. Another resident who passed away....her daughter was in getting her apartment cleaned out. She thanked me for the card I left her. Everyone becomes like family. It is sure nice even when things get sad.

Girls are doing some dance classes. I was told what classes were mandatory for dance team and which classes were not. I signed up for the classes they HAD to take. When I was asked about the other classes I said we wanted a break. I think that was frowned upon. Summer is not relaxing anymore. What is wrong with taking a break?? Summer is so short so I like to enjoy some freedom to do as we please. I was glad I did not go crazy with dance classes. Plus who can afford it???? I have to put some gas in my tank and food on my table. Bythe way---both my girls made the dance team again. The tryouts were a month ago and they were called last week and told that they had both been placed on the travel competition teams.

Girls ate at dads tonight. I had leftovers. Easy and simple. Girls are at dads's this weekend. They are having another big family party. I still have a hard time hearing about things FAMILY. It just hurts sometimes. I work on the fourth and on Saturday. So I will be kinda busy. My son will be around. He and his dad are having a terrible time right now in the relationship department. At times being divorced is a huge weight around my neck. other times I feel so very free. It really is perplexing how one feels.

Middle daughter totally---and I mean totally is doing great with her new contacts!!! I am so proud of her! Yeah....more money to spend on eyeballs.
But better for fall volleyball. She has not needed any help from me. God bless our wonderful eye doctor and his patient..... skillfull and wonderful staff.

Have a good evening everyone.

    I was a single parent and divorced for 10 years before I remarried last August. Being single and having the free time when the kids are visiting Dad is kind of nice. I use to enjoy that time and would do things I couldn't when the kids were home. Sometimes I would just make myself a special dinner, take a nice bath and go to bed and read a book. Peace and quiet and no one to deal with but me, I still miss it sometimes.

    I'm glad you can see the joy in being alone and being with yourself; it's hard for many single parents.

    Good luck on your sale. I just had one, but a lot of competition made sales pretty low. I may not have one again! But it sounds like you are a pro, so I hope you bring in a bundle!
