My Addiction Takes Hold

I am having such a hard time focusing on the blog as this local Buy/Sell site has taken over my life.

At first, I was getting rid of a lot of clutter and outgrown toys in a fast and efficient manner. With less stuff, I suddenly had a path in my basement. I was earning a few bucks.

But then I started looking at what other mothers were posting. That was a mistake. First, I got this:

It's like $20 new at Crate & Barrel...I got it for $5.

And that's just the beginning. I had a nice pick-up with Fruit Basket mom who was happy to hand over her never-used wedding gift. Fruit Basket Dad just shook his head, which seems to be the common reaction of most husbands during drop-offs and pick-ups. They don't get it.

Or do they? As I sat next to my husband in the minivan, admiring my new purchase, Fruit Basket Dad called out to my husband as we drove away:

See ya soon. I'll probably be by your house next week picking up something or another.

From his lips to God's ears...

I've really got my eye on this over-the-door towel holder a Mt. Greenwood mom is selling. I just need to earn like $2 more to break even.
