yard sale over in Second 1st

The yard sale is over, I would say it went fairly well but.... it should have gone better. Mom came up Wednesday. David looked at the car with Rocky and ended up pocketing my keys. I swear mom brought all kinds of groceries and planned all the weekend meals. We went out Wednesday afternoon and picked up a little bit to top things off. We didn’t need much I promise. So groceries were minimal this weekend and lucky mom brought all that food because as long as Rocky was at work we had no real vehicle.....

Thursday morning there were early birds.... I don’t know why I didn’t think about them but.... whatever. Rocky helped put things out till he had to go do plasma. We got all the tote stuff out and a few other things but not everything I wanted to get out. It’s whatever.... it will not be stored in the garage and we will have it set up for next time.... planning one in the spring. .....

I’ve worked a couple of hours each morning.... made only 195 this week so I”m going to be making it up for a while.... we made 175 in the yard sale....

It could have been better .... the last time we had a yard sale we’d made 700 something.... This time.... well.....

It had been planned Thursday-Saturday 7-5… It had been so slow Thursday that I decided to go check out the sign at the end of the road Friday morning. Some inconsiderate idiot put a bunch of bush clippings right next to the sign so there was no way to see the sign coming from one direction. I moved it, obviously. Saturday when I went to pick up the signs one was missing altogether and the other was folded over so you couldn’t read it. We will have to do better for signs next time.... also.... everyone turned around in the intersection next to my house as if they couldn’t read the address on the mailbox and didn’t see the stuff till they passed it.

I found out my mom is slightly racist.... and wonder what she thought when I married Randy.... as Randy was 1/2 Mex and she was talking to the Mexicans like they were 5 and gesticulating a ton.

There were 2 groups that were just great.... group one was of 5 Mexican women. Mom had just gone in to fix us lunch when they came walking up. There was a small child who couldn’t have been even 5 years old clinging to her mother’s leg. She had 2 major drips out of her nose slimy and yellow. So I called mom and asked her to bring out some Kleenex .... she did and offered it to the mom. The girl’s mom wiped her nose and mom offered a bag to put it in. One of the other ladies got a bunch of small things and we bagged them up and they left. For the rest of the day mom couldn’t figure out where the snotty Kleenex bag went and we thought she may have packed the other lady’s things in it. LMAO

The other incident happened yesterday when a couple came in. Mom said it was father and daughter but I think it as a couple. The lady had gotten obsessed with the sunglasses and the man was saying in Spanish that it was time to go. She responded with something like they are so cheap I need different ones. He started looking at the phone cases and once she had bought the glasses he told her that there were cases there that fit his phone. She was really ready to leave so she said in a bit of a disappointed tone “no, vamonos” we busted out laughing as vamonos is “let’s go”.... so adorable....

We kept getting randomly startled as there is a black walnut tree letting its seeds go. They would hit the tin roof and make such a loud noise we’d all jump. Just randomly through the weekend. .... We were having Joshua pick them up for screen time because mom has him on a 2-hour screen time limit but here.... well.... I don’t have to care I just need him to be entertained and not a jerk. I mean it’s good and I do care .... BUT.... I’d make him read everything in Animal crossings if he wanted to play instead of forcing him to read at a table from a book. I explained to him that if he reads it out loud Grandma would be more inclined to let him play more and she agreed very clearly.

I’ve only been able to text a bit with Jake this weekend..... and mom has somehow decided she’s staying the whole weekend.... Spaghetti got planned for “lunch” but she just told Rocky (as he was getting ready for work) that they would likely be gone when he got home. Then asked him what time he’d be home and reaffirmed. .... I thought they’d leave yesterday before dinner..... and I’m afraid I won’t get Jake time this week :( or pot gummy :(.....

195in Door dashing this week means that this week I have to make 117.5 for 6 days in order to have my Sunday.

175 in yard sale funds will go towards one of the 3 medical bills..... and that’s 175 I won’t have to bust my ass to get So that’s good.... also that’s $175 worth of junk I no longer have in my possession.

I almost forgot, I have officially quit at Envision (Nissan) and will only be Door dashing. I got my letter saying there was nothing more I could do to argue the decline of FMLA .... Rocky disagrees and I’m not ready to fight so much. I will be getting a payout for the remainder of my earned vacation time on the 21st.

This week will be a bit rough. I’ve appointments in Nashville on the 18th (2) and then Destiny has surgery on the 19th.... then my birthday is on the 20th.....but I’ve still got to make that money and get back to right.....

Welp, mom is now cleaning my house.... so it’s time to go lol
