Declutter

It’s our neighborhood garage sale this weekend.

So on top of our normal everyday life around here, which recently has been quite a few nights of interrupted sleep.  And since I’m mentioning it, let’s go ahead and quickly visit that topic.

Have you noticed what our count is up to for days of sleep.  19.  19 days of sleep where we are not interrupted between the hours of 10pm and 5am.  Which in my book isn’t really a full nights sleep anyways, but those were my rules.

19 days out of 94.  So very tired around here.

Anyways back to the real topic of discussion.  This weekend is the garage sale.  And we definitely wanted to take the chance to declutter our house and get rid of all the things sitting around that we don’t use.  It’s especially helpful to clean out the basement, since that’s one of Jesse’s projects he has coming up.

This weekend is supposed to be beautiful out.  It should be a great weekend for a garage sale.  It’s also a great weekend to get yard stuff done.  We have had big patches of mud (no grass) in our yard since the replaced septic tank and then we installed the circle drive.  We haven’t gotten around to planting seed.  Then we removed 4 big trees, which also left huge mud holes in the yard.  We also have 2 dogs and one toddler that manage to walk/run through the mud every time they are outside.

So this weekend Jesse will be moving top soil around the yard and spreading out seed.  I expect this project to take more than the weekend we have available.

I’m just hoping to survive the weekend with all our yard projects, garage sale and then with me having to put in hours working to get a work project done by Monday morning.
