I officially survived my last garage sale this weekend. Okay, I know I always say I will never do another garage sale but this time I really mean it! I started to think about the number of hours I put in sorting and pricing, and the number of hours I spent setting up and haggling with customers, only to discover that I think I averaged a negative amount of money per hour. I didn't even know that was possible. And despite the fact that we got rid of a ton of stuff we still have way to much leftover garbage. How I wish I could throw some invisible paint on it all and it would all disappear.
After our garage sale and before we left for a weekend trip (I know, I really pack a lot into my weekends) Kendall had her American Girl Fashion Show call-back. I couldn't believe how quickly my attitude changed from casual and supportive mom to total annoying stage mom. It was a crazy Jekyll and Hyde moment for me. I kept whispering to her to smile and stand straight, it was like a foreign language coming out of my mouth that I couldn't stop. I am hoping to squelch my inner stage mom as we attend the dress rehearsals and shows; I may need to invest in some duct tape before then. Definitely.
