scrapbookbuzz Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 It's Wednesday . . . I think. Eyes are still blurry and brain is still foggy as I've only had two sips of coffee this morning. Coffee is not necessary for me every morning but today it is. Anything special going on today? Here: tonight I'm going to an event/class/lecture called, "10 Desert Plants to Get You Well." A friend who knows my interest in medicinal herbs told me about it. Should be interesting! Who feels like going back to bed right now? Here: ME! -_- Talk to me! :bigear: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmamatx Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Yup Wednesday. Haven't had my coffee yet but I probably will soon. Special today: Nothing. Running errands to the store today and selling some stuff tonight. Waiting for a phone call hopefully soon. Going Back to Bed: Nah I'm good actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 So, frugal, I have a question. You seem to sell a lot of stuff. Is this stuff you've just been purging from your own belongings or do you scour yard sales, thrift stores, etc and then re-sell those items? (Wants to go back to bed but needs to wake up . . .) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Special Today: All four kids are going to church activities tonight and since I no longer work with the young women I get to stay home. All alone. That'll be weird. Go back to bed: I wish. I keep meaning to get myself and the little guys to bed at a decent time, but then the big kids don't get home from work until after 8 and they want to talk to me so before we know it I'm herding the littles upstairs at 10pm for their bedtime story. And then 5:30am comes WAY too early. That's when I have to get up to take Cameron to church for his early morning religion class. I'm looking forward to my husband being back home next week so I can go back to my natural wake-up time of 6:27. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 When I'm not yanked out of comfortable in sleep in the morning due to a full bladder and/or a cat jumping up on me, or kids knocking on my door, I'll sleep in till 0800. But that's a rare occasion. Which is why . . . coffee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (From mommyoffive on Monday's post) Wow!!! That is amazing! Congrats How long have you been doing that? We started the beginning of November 2013, so a little over 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmamatx Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 So, frugal, I have a question. You seem to sell a lot of stuff. Is this stuff you've just been purging from your own belongings or do you scour yard sales, thrift stores, etc and then re-sell those items? (Wants to go back to bed but needs to wake up . . .) Both actually. Right now I'm purging from my stuff mostly - I have way too much stuff, especially furniture. And I'm really trying to declutter and downsize so my house is easier to keep clean. But if I'm out and see something I can make a profit on, I'll grab it and resell it. I was selling on ebay for a long time, but it's so flooded now that unless you are a large volume seller it isn't profitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Good morning! Frugalmama, I wondered about Ebay. I'd really like to get rid of a lot of stuff, but I'm not in the best place for yard sales. I've been contemplating taking pictures of stuff and make a Facebook album to try and sell a few things locally. It would go out to people I know, so I'd feel more comfortable meeting people. I think our sheriff's office made a place for people to meet for sales like Craig's list, though. I just don't have a lot of big ticket items. Special Today: Nothing out of the ordinary: school, GED tutoring, church Back to Bed: I'm okay with not going back to sleep, but I wish I could get cozy and watch some stuff online. That would be nice! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Nothing special going on today. I've been up since 8:30 or so, but bed does sound pretty good now... I started getting a headache a little while ago (just took some naproxen, so hopefully will be gone soon). We started doing Mystery Science on Monday, and the kids are liking it so far. I got the year for free back in August or something, but hadn't gotten around to it yet, mainly because I wanted to do the experiments, and I dunno. Now just doing them without actually doing the experiments. We are doing the other extras. Maybe we'll do some of the experiments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 We are at the symphony for a FT. Enjoying the noise as the orchestra wrms up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Today's Wednesday. Oh, my. Nothing special going on today. We had music lessons, library hour, and I swung by McD's for the kids because it was already noon when we packed the car back up. I really wouldn't mind going back to bed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Today's adventures include Depression and Anxiety attempting to shove their way into my mind. *sigh* I have thus told the kids I am not making requests today, I am giving orders. And I will be the one using MY room. *will check in later* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmamatx Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Scrap - I hear you on the depression and Anxiety. Only thing keeping me going right now is my high dose Vit. D. I chickened out of the grocery run today - just couldn't deal with people today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Okay. I have seam that I need to rip in a block for oldest son's quilt. I cannot find my seam ripper yet again. I am the queen of walking off with that thing and laying it down in odd places. Sigh Youngest will be working on the slides for the NASA presentation so we are not going anywhere. I made a crockpot of yummy beef stew and bread is rising. It is yucky outside so I am happy we are staying in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Currently listening to Ds be a huge pita during his piano lesson. I love him, but he is exhausting!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmamatx Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Finally got the call back I was waiting on. Semi-good news that means at least PART of the stress will be lifted as of tomorrow morning after I run one last errand. Waiting on two more customers to show up. I think one is going to flake though. I need to go start cleaning. DD's friends come back Saturday and I wanted to get the whole house cleaned up before they got back. Plus cleaning will help keep my mind off relationship stuff {going to be having a long convo early tomorrow morning probably}. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, maybe if I actually TOOK my vitamins, they would help . . . :p 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally JUST thinking, "My kids need to do more exercise than just tae kwon do twice a week. That's why I should pay for them to be in a different sport so someone else can be the one telling them what to do for awhile! :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmamatx Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Well I was right - one flaked and didn't show. Second buyer just left though! And I have a potential backup buyer for the other item who might come at 9 tonight. I don't normally do buyers that late, but tomorrow my day is packed.
