Big-hearted people

All my life I've been described as two things: big boned (thanks for that) and big-hearted. Now, being big-boned has nothing to do with this post, and quite frankly, I don't even think that's a real thing. It's just what our parents started saying when "husky" was deemed a negative adjective to use for the chunky kids shopping in the JC Penny Christmas catalog. Anyway,

we had our yard sale this weekend. A few things went wrong
1) It's really hard to get ready when you have 3 kids needing something at all times, especially when the 2 year old NEEDS everything you try to put out to sell.
2) It was a holiday weekend. No one was around.
3) Big-hearted people just don't make money!

I will say that I had a lot of fun meeting the people who did come! Everyone was SO nice, and had great stories about their families and kids and dogs and so on and so forth. Because everyone was so nice, I just wanted to GIVE them things. It was one new momma's birthday yesterday, so of course, she needed free diapers and cheap clothes! I just hope that some of them do take the time to read this blog (if you're here, thanks for coming by!!!) and pass it along.

Because, we still don't know where the heck we will move by the end of October! The place we were looking at wants to rent by Sept. 15, but the new owner doesn't know if we will have to pay rent for October here (most likely that means, yes- you'll have to pay but I don't want to tell you that so that you move out and I can have the new guy move in and then you pay his rent for one month). We also couldn't take Bucket (he's our cat, in case you were wondering why I am so concerned about taking a bucket with us) to the rental we are looking at, and since we've already lost one dog and one cat in the last year, we kind of want to hang on to him! Soooooo....

We still need your help at our YouCaring site! Thank you for sharing it, reading our blog. and being an awesome person! Please keep your fingers crossed that some miracles happen and we have somewhere to move our family soon!
