not worth it.

So I'm sitting here at my garage sale thinking that this really was not worth the effort. I hardly have anything to sell, and I'm not really sure why anyone would want our old stuff. We'll see. At least it's not raining like it was supposed to. I might end up closing up shop early. I probably won't be doing another garage sale until my kid(s) are grown and I need to get rid of kid stuff. That seems to be what people want anyway. Maybe I should put Eleanor in some ragged close so people will feel sorry for us and buy our junk...I mean great stuff.

Eleanor is still sleeping, but I imagine she'll be joining me out here soon. I wish I would was still sleeping, too :o). Luckily she is over her sickness. I know it's a part of life, but I hope she doesn't get sick again for a long time.

Eleanor is not really working on any new skills right now. She is crawling all over the place and pulling up on anything she can get her hands on. She did stand on her own for a few seconds twice now, but I am not sure she really realized what she was doing. I, along with her doctor, parents-as-teachers educator, my parents, and Brian, this she will definitely we walking by her first birthday. Only two months to go! I cannot believe she is so close to the big birthday! I swore that I wouldn't do too much for her first birthday, but it's so hard to resist. The two themes in the running are cupcakes or ladybugs. I'm giving myself a few weeks to decide, but then I think I'll order some stuff so I'm not rushing to get everything together at the last minute. It's difficult to make definite plans right now because we'll be living in an apartment in St. Charles. I cannot wait until we're there and swimming everyday! My new swimsuits came last week, and Eleanor has plenty to get her through the summer. I just know we're all going to hate to leave in August.
