Just checking in

Friends and Family from afar,

I am too tired to think. Much Much too tired to process. Way past impossible to capture exhausted thoughts and write down unprocessed feelings.

Yep. That about sums it up.

Project YARD SALE is in full swing. Kristy and I are meeting up way too early in a school parking lot to join in on a community yard sale where literally thousands of people will pass by. This is my chance to rid myself of *junk* AND make money at the same time.

Yesterday marked Jet's last day of college classes for this semester. So he's been hogging the computer (kidding hon) to write term papers. And I've been staying up late to "watch" him. I hate going to bed without him.

And Baby Bean is apparently doing some amazing stuff this week. An online pregnancy site says that "The bones are continuing the ossification process." and "This is an impressive week for growth!"

Thus, my body feels completely wasted.

But my brain says Must. Not. Stop. The yard sale boxes are waiting to be priced. Borrowed tables are waiting to be picked up. Some sort of plan needs to be set in motion regarding the girls so they won't have to wake up at 4AM to drive to town. Much to do. No energy to do it.

So I post pictures of my girlies to give you a small taste of home life these past few days.
Charis. Ever continuing to look like a big girl.


Selah. Eyes full of daring. Hair full of...wild. This girl needs no volumizing gel.


Raegan. Pressing into the world of toddlerdom. Learning whatever she can. And by the way, this is the reason she stopped nursing. She always wanted to read books instead.

Hopefully the forecasted rains will stay away long enough for Kristy and me to make some major money. oh please please please!

I'm off to price stuff. Okay. Maybe not. I'm off to collapse on the couch. Right beside the treadmill that hasn't been used in months.

That hair--so funny!

And that pregnancy fatigue...I remember it well. Can I just say I'm glad it's you and not me at this phase of life? ;)

Good luck with the 4:00 a.m. wake-up!

Can Raegan have a little chat with Hannah about the nursing thing? That would be great.

Crystal said...

Oh, is this THE yard sale I think it is? I wish I could go, too. Praying you make super big money. :)

And congratulations on another completed semester, Jet!

Ahhhh, yard sales - I loved 'em as a child. oing to them with Mom and helping out with them *sigh* what fond memories. Now - can't imagine getting up at 4am!!!!! I think I like my sleep too much!

you know, you could always use the treadmill to store things...like large vats of M&M's and things like that.

And with the gobs of money you will make tomorrow morning, you should be able to stop by Costco on your way home and buy the economy size bag (or two) to rest your weary soul.

I'm some encouragement, aren't I?

LOVE YOU! (and see you in the morning).
