She did it!!!!


I can't believe it, but Sadie pooped on the potty today. I got out the little potty from storage, and she wanted to sit on it before her bath. She sat down and started pushing as hard as she could... and it worked! :-) I don't think she'll be potty trained any time soon, but boy to think we are almost done with diapers is a good feeling! I think she will be easy because she always wants to do what the rest of us are doing, so going on the potty is something she started herself.
I have been up to my ears in garage sale stuff. My garage is busting at the seam with JUNK! I hope someone finds some treasures hidden in there somewhere. I do have two tables of clothes which I think will sell. A friend of Lisa's came over tonight and bought some stuff. So now my grand total in sales is up to $97. It is almost comical how much work goes into making money for a garage sale. Ryan has helped me set up, helped neighbors set up, I have set up and priced everything. Probably between the two of us, we have put in 12-14 hours just getting ready for it. So if you break down how much you make per hour, it amounts to nothing. We'd probably be better off donating everything to Goodwill and taking the write-off! But, for some strange reason, I enjoy the process and the actual day. I usually have a friend sit with me and hang out making it much more fun, but tomorrow I'll be solo. So I am not looking forward to that part as much. The kids will be gone until about 3:30 so that will help tremendously!!!
Cobe's game got rained out last night. They made it through pictures, then it started to downpour. We still had to stay gone for the house showing, so we went and picked up Wendy's and went to Mary Jo's to eat. We left there and went to the Elgersmas to hang out for awhile. Long story short, they didn't like our house, so we are back to square one. AAAGGGHHHH!
Well I am off to bed to hopefully rejuvenate for my long hours sitting in the garage tomorrow. I haven't even checked the weather, so I hope for a sunny, warm day. I'll check in tomorrow night with the grand total made. :-)

Yeah for Sadie!!! That is a huge accomplishment right there! She will be right on her way with it! That will be awesome to be done with diapers!!!

Sorry the showing didn't go well - so frustrating.

Good luck on the sale!!!
