The Big Sale, part 1

So, for those of you that don't already know, we are having a sale this Saturday. Our whole town is doing city wide garage sales. At first we just thought we'd have a regular sale. But the more we thought about it, the more the ideas grew and grew. Now we are having a multi-family yard sale, a bake sale, and a chili feed. All the proceeds from baby items and food items is going to Bella's family for their expenses related to Bella's treatment.

I took today and tomorrow off work so that I could help my mom get ready for the sale. We are having it at my mom's house, as she has a better location for it. This morning Momma C came over to keep J-man while mom and I went over to Grams' house to load up some of her stuff for the sale. We got a Durrango full and a Jeep full! Then when we got home, Grams kept J-man while mom and I unloaded the vehicles and mom and dad went to pick up the trailers we are borrowing for the sale. We did a lot of lifting and shoving and cleaning.

Tonight will be full of sorting and pricing. Mom and Dad went back to Grams' to get some more stuff in the pickup. Tomorrow will be more sorting, pricing, setting up, and cooking!! The whole house will be smelling like cinnamon rolls all day, YUMMM!!! Tomorrow night me and J and Grams will be spending the night with Mom. I imagine Mom and I will be up most of the night getting the last of things done. That's how she and I both tend to be, and when we are together it compounds the effect. We always say we do our best work under pressure. But Dad and R just say we procrastinate. They are pessimists. Don't listen to them!

I promise to take lots of pictures throughout the process to share with you. I hope we have a great turnout. I made up some brochures about Bella and Hurlers with lots of information and suggestions of what people can do to help. There is a picture of Bella on the front and she is just so adorable. That girl just melts my heart into a pool of goo! Yeah, I know. Nice visual.

Well, I hear my baby boy waking from his nap, so it is time for me to head on home and keep working. I'm going to have to go back to work Monday just to get some rest! But it's all more than worth it. So I will see you all later. Thanks for taking a peek into my little world.
