I Confess...
This Confession is LATE. I am having a hard time finding time to blog lately.
Life is just sooooo crazy busy, between work, putting together my preschool, taking care of my family, and my latest obsession, selling things on a local Facebook group...I am just SWAMPED.
Add to all of this taking our Foster / Adopt training classes and getting the house ready to take in some littles and Mama is going a little cray cray y'all.
Nesting. I might get a little OCD about it.
I Confess...
Big Daddy has been a dream, of course, always jumping in and helping me whenever he can.
EVERYDAY he loads up the car with the items I have sold and goes and sits with me in a parking lot where I meet up with my buyers.
He never complains. He is actually impressed by the money I am making.
I also think he secretly loves that I am getting rid of shoes I've never worn, purses that are collecting dust and the million puzzles and games we have laying around that are not getting played with.
I Confess...
I have been at this for 2 weeks now...I added up my sales total so far.
Wait for it...
$756.00
Yeah, I can load up my car and sit in a parking lot for an hour each day for that kind of easy lettuce, yo!
I Confess...
I might be a little addicted.
But I am loving getting rid of my crap...and emptying storage boxes.
Sooooooooo NICE to purge.
(and get paid for stuff taking up space in my home)
On another note...
I am sure there are a few of you out there tired of hearing how perfect my husband is.
I totally get that, so this one is for you.
I Confess...
The other day I got in MY car and the seat was wet.
At first I was mad thinking Big Daddy had left the windows down while he was at the gym and it was raining.
THEN
It hit me.
Big Daddy. Took. My. Car. To. The. Gym.
That moment when you realize you are sitting in sweat.
Gross!!
I will leave ya with that.
EDITED TO ADD: a lot of people are asking me how I found my FB group where i sell things. Truth is I was invited by my cousin when we moved back to Hollister. My guess for finding one in your area is to search FB groups...maybe use searches like "Your Town Steals and Deals" or "Your Town Group Listings". Good luck!

LOL! I Love that you talk about big daddy!! Keep it up sista! WHen you love someone you just love them!!
I wonder if they have a FB group for every city? It would be a dream to be able to sell my stuff!! You made some really good money too!! Holy COW! I'm impressed!
Life is cray cray!! :) But sometimes that's what makes it so fun! Hope your having the time of your life...the dirty dancing kind...have a great weekend!
What is this FB group of which you speak? I could use some $$$$. I cracked up at the car seat thing! EWWWW!
I hear ya on the not having time to blog thing. I'm still trying to get back into the swing of it after being gone on our honeymoon. I'll get it eventually but its hard.
And I totally understand about the sweat on the seat. I don't know what it is but my hubby does the same thing and he's so immune to his smell and sweat that it doesn't bother him. Eew!
Yuck! Sitting in sweat is just Ga-ross!
I confess that starting Monday when the A to Z challenge ends I'll be back to hooking up with you on Wednesdays and Fridays. I also confess I want your Fb secret how do you get started I have a shed full of things that need to be sold.
Ewww, sweat! LOL! I confess that I'm enjoying the wonderful spring and my few days off. I did the spring cleaning a few weeks ago, refrigerator, freezer, pantry and in my closet I keep a box that says "GIVEAWAY" on it. If it doesn't fit I drop it in the box. Helps. Good luck!
That is awesome that you are able to get your stuff cleaned out and make money one it and know it's going some place where it will be used.
Nick sweats a lot and there are times when I know he has no idea how much he is really sweating--he will hand me a hat or something that is just all wet and think nothing of it. I just cringe when he does that.
All I can say is....
EEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUWWWWW!!
But still very sweet about the other stuff....I still can't get over that you don't have to pump gas. Oh how I wish!!!
On a side note, I l-o-v-e getting rid of stuff too. It's theraputic. And then I don't feel guilty when I go shopping...
Happy Friday and good luck with all of the stuff on your "To-Do" List!!!!
In the summer, when I make less money, I am always looking for things to sell and yes, it can be totally addicting!
Good for you! I love that you're getting rid of stuff AND making money! I need to get rid of some of the crap in my house. I should look into the FB thing.
There are two groups of Online Yardsales in Massachusettts and my dad has a booth at local fleamarket so I declutter by just putting stuff over there.
I love reading about your love for Big Daddy as well as his love for you. I guess I am just a hopeless romantic! Even his grossness... I am feeling the love. LOL
I am so happy for you with purging and making money... Yeah You!!!!
I can imagine you are overwhelmed with work, preparing for your school and new children to enter the house...However very exciting too at the same time. (((HUGS))) I just think you needed that.
It sounds like Big Daddy is an amazing man!! I am glad that he helps you out so much!
EWWWWWWW Sweat!! Ha ha ha
That Big Daddy is an awesome guy! If a bit excessively sweaty. ROFL!! Have a great weekend !
Ugh! You just made me cringe at the sweat comment... Blah!
I am so glad that you are having good things overwhelm you :) Sounds like everything is going great for you guys!
About your wet seat, yuck! Oh man.. Haha!
I'm more excited about the fun things you are buying on the fb group than what you're selling! The kids are going to freak out!
Good for you! Purging our home always makes me feel better :-).
p.s. they all can't be pergect, all of the time :-). Gotta love those sweaty husbands :-). I say YAY for getting to the gym!
I love your confessions. I wish I could make that much on our little site - but no one wants to drive clear out my direction! :)
Yes! Getting money out of stuff you bought but didn't use. Sweet redemption!
hey just wanted to let you know I've sent a couple of reply emails but guess you haven't received them so sent another one about 2 hours ago hope you got it.
Awesome. I just donated a boat load of stuff. Well not really a boat load it was a suburban load. Still stoked to get rid of it.
Grody on the sweat. Eww big daddy, ew.
He does seem like a dream boat is all other ways though. You are lucky.
Happy say. Good confessions. And whoohoo for some cash flow.
We have one of those too!! Ours is so big they have separated it into General, Kids/Babies and Auto. I live in South East Alabama....LOVE getting rid of my stuff! Easier than having a Yard Sale!
Thanks for hosting the party!
~joy!
