Just glad...

.. the weekend is over. The garage sale was great on Friday- almost too busy. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying we weren't ready for the avid garage sale pro shoppers when they started showing up an hour early. Whenever I go to a garage sale, I wait until they open. I just think it's courteous and they set a time to open for a reason- probably to set up! There's nothing I desperately NEED at any garage sale. But forget all about that- there are people who want stuff and want it first! I hadn't even gone to the bank to make change yet and Jen wasn't close to being on her way when people were coming up the driveway. I was a little annoyed! But we made out like bandits for only being open 3 hours so I will give thanks to the pros for stopping by.

Anyway- Saturday, needless to say, was wet. We closed up and called it a day early on and hope to have better luck next Saturday. I plan to shove everything to the side for now and we'll get it back out later. (Trying to stay positive!) The rain kept us inside and Maddie had a fever/headache for 3 days so I was just spent by Saturday night. I almost can feel what my kids feel when they're sick.

Sunday we went to church- and I am telling you, it has been a very long time since I've been able to go. Either I have been working or sleeping from working the night before and I felt so out of the loop. I felt like another family warmed themselves up to 'our' seats too. They're not technically 'our' seats, but you know what I mean, you just sit in the same spot every week. I guess it had only been 3 weeks since we had been, but before that it was 3 weeks too so it just felt long. I always feel like Fall kicks things back into gear for us as a family and I'm ready for that. I'm ready to be more involved in church and to serve as much as possible. But I always feel that way come Fall!

Sunday night my step-mom made dinner for everyone so that was wonderful! They have recently moved so that was our 'first' dinner as a family at their new home. Good times, the kids are entertained, and I don't have to cook!

Hopefully this week brings us some sunshine! Have a good one.
