My dining room and front hall are full of things, and that doesn't include the Little Tikes sandbox and slide, a TV, an entertainment center, skis, clothes, a bike and other miscellaneous junk from the shed and garage. I wasn't even able to get into one of our storage closets because it is blocked by Em's bed and I know that one had a bunch of stuff I could have parted with.
It amazes me how much junk one family can accumulate. My one neighbor is bringing her stuff to my house since her house is out of the way so hopefully between the two of us we will attract many people. I think there are over 10 houses participating (we have a small country subdivision) in the sale.
Of course now each of the kids are asking if they can keep the money from anything that used to be theirs. Emily wants to save her money for her gymnastics meet in Las Vegas, Christopher wants to use his for some remote control truck and Sami wants to use hers to buy bunk beds (no clue on that one). It's a shame that only I get to keep the money (even though I am just keeping my fingers crossed for $100). Now the question is what will **I** do with the money?
