Today was insane. I attempted my first solo garage sale and was grateful that Lord of the Flies didn't occur. Starting at 7 am, in my pj's, I was inundated with professional yard salers. Talis was naked and waving at all the incoming strangers. Thanks heavens (multiple times today) Mia stepped up and was mom for the day. The kids ate whatever they could find which happened to be carb heavy in the form of graham crackers, cheese crackers, leftover cake. . .yeah that is going to help them feel full.
In the end, I still had a lot of things. I regretted very little and made the money I was hoping for to buy some furniture for the kids' room.
Funny side note (as if nude Talia wasn't funny enough): the kids were promised all the proceeds of the sale of their items. Many items were sacrificed for the cause. They even tried gouging the people with ridulously overpriced items. $90 was just a little steep for some of the folks and yet the cute advertising of Mia to her oversized "Bare" didn't lure anyone either.
