Lazy Blogger
I am a lazy blogger. No doubt about it. I don’t even get around to posting links to pictures that have long-since been mentioned and forgot about. Good thing only my fam reads this for now 
Maybe one day I’ll be interesting enough (and involved enough) to post stuff others want to read! Ha!
So I’ve been thinking about the art club I want and I think my best plan this year, since being moved against my will, is going to be to write the plans, try them out, take pictures and refine, etc… all within the classroom. We are supposed to get something like 45 min a week for fine arts anyway so I can make it my “thank goodness it’s Friday / we don’t watch movies in my class / Friday tests always leave extra time” activity. I think it will be good and this way I can see how kids react and do while documenting steps and such for a future club. It will be really important for getting grants in the future for a club as well. (That’s not to say that I don’t still want a logo…. shan… wink…wink…)
Other than that, I’m psyched that our house is off the market and that I can have beds unmade if I want to. Plus, we are preparing for our first garage sale and we have SO much stuff! I hope it goes really well. If we made like, $150 or so, I’d be pumped and I think that is totally doable. It really depends on the day I guess, but smack in the middle of summer can’t be too bad. Too bad we missed the neighborhood-wide sale, but maybe next year…
Tuesday I’m going up to school to pack my things and the boys have their first ever paid babysitter. It hurts the pocket a little, but I think it will be worth it. Taking them would only drive me nuts and prolong the task and they will have tons of fun playing with cousin Jenny. I need/want to get some of those study boxes meant to hold files since I have the impression I’ll be in limbo in a portable for the first part of the year. Besides which, I can bring them home and properly organize and label before sticking them back into unmanageable drawers.
Well, not anything exciting to say, just talking to the computer screen while my children take a nap. Ah the sweet bliss of silence in the house!
We made about $170 at our yard sale last summer, and it was medium sized and we were practically giving stuff away. Totally doable if you have a lot of stuff and especially some bigger items!

If you have a good amount and decent weather, you can do well. Did you know that the year we moved to Alabma and sold a ton of stuff including an old computer – and things we later had to replace because we were dumb – we made $800. I am happy for you that you can relax a bit more in your own home.
