Hello. I did pretty well at my sale. It rained literally the entire time I was open for business. It was not so fun.
I did make around $200.00 which was pretty good I thought for lots of rain and lots of little stuff. I sold my neighbors patio set for him.....so that went but not as fast as I thought it would. I was able to clean up quickly and pack up stuff for the vets to pick up next week. Some stuff is for the trash on Sunday night. All in all....and I say this all the time...no more garage sales!!!! The girls were not too interested so that sale might of been it. I did keep my signs ----just in case.

I managed to get bit by some bugs and now my face and neck have welts and is very bothersome. I am taking benadryl and it is helping sightly. I sure hope I do have to go to the hospital. SO far I have tried to not go anywhere. I had to get groceries and I had a few people stare at me. It looks that bad. I really hope it clears up.....I am not nervous but if it is still bad in a day or two I may have to see the DR.

I worked today. I put in 5 hours and I will get I think...time and a half. I work on Saturday too. I have a FULL day.
We got our cleaning supplies shipment in for the month so I have to also put all that away. Like 200 rolls of TP and cans upon cans of comet cleanser. That will be one full hour or more of extra work.

Today I had a bad day with my middle daughter. She was a basket case and then had a tantrum. She tends to spin out of control at times and has melt downs that are horrible. They only happen rarely but when they happen it is rough. At times she simply needs alot of hugging or she needs to be isolated. Today she needed both. I was very drained emotionally. My friend dropped a card and surprise gift on my porch today. The card was wonderful and it really was well timed since I was melting down in my mind. She has no idea how that gift and card meant to me today especially. Very touching.

My next big project is cleaning the basement.I may have to do it over a weekend my kids are gone. We will see. They are not motivated to help me.

Yesterday I saw my friend from Colorado Springs. She is in town visiting her family. We only had about two hours to chat and it was not nearly long enough. She is divorced with four kids as well. We talked about surviving and getting thru life. She is in a recovery group and she had alot of good things to share. I really enjoyed our visit. She is looking for a teaching job as she just graduated from college and did all that while being a single mom with those kids. Amazing! I had to talk carefully as her sister who also chatted with us a bit knows my ex and his family very well. She is good friends with my old sister in law. I think she is very sweet but I KNOW she would gossip to them about me. So I wish we would of been able to go out alone with out this sister. I have learned to be guarded in my conversations.

I am enjoying my blackout curtains. They keep the sun out beautifully. I need to buy some valances for the living room. My mom made me curtains and I just do not like them. I like things lighter and airy. Her curatins are long and very heavy. They do not go with my house. So I am looking to replace them. I do not have any sun problems in there because of my porch. It keeps out the harsh sun.

My dd passed her driving written exam...so now she needs to take the test with the trooper. She will do that in two weeks. She is looking to buy a car. So we will be thinking about that sooner then later. I can't believe I will have three cars sitting in my driveway. It was not that long ago the wooden red wagon and trike were parked out there along with a baby stroller. Life sure moves along.

Well I am off to realx while I can. The girls are at dad's. Enjoy your Fourth of July weekend.
Have a good evening everyone.
