Once they can read, they read everything and are all over your business!!
I still can't believe how quickly she has caught on and yes, the all over your business is an understatement.

Keep going.
Thank you B for the reminders the other day, and yes I have to keep going. It's hard to tell what's real at times and I thought my patience had been tested to the max, boy was I wrong.
I have a busy day ahead of me. I'm finally going to have that pain in the butt garage sale at the end of the month. So I need to start sorting and pricing.
I am clueless on what to set my prices at, especially when it comes to the kid's clothes and toys that they have outgrown.
I also have to tear apart the rear end on my truck, I have either a bad bearing or gear in there. This is not going to be an easy one. My nextdoor neighber is going to help so I am thankful for that. Without him I would be in trouble.
Should be a real fun job in 95 degree weather and 90 percent humidity.
I need to stay busy though, it will help keep my mind off all this.
It's really hard to see her make many positive moves and to listen to all the strange almost baiting type of conversations we have. I need a super secret mlc decoder.
Hey T, garage sale - yuck! I have been putting off mine for months. I heard it is easier to set up a few tables and mark 1 all things $1.00 and another $5.00 and so on. Dont know if its better that way - just a thought.
You could also take your little ones clothes and toys to a consignment shop.
As far as the decoder, I heard Jimbo has one - LOL! Take what she says with a grain of salt. You know the drill - light and positive and dont get dragged into any conversations that you dont want to.
Sounds like you have a good plan for the day. Glad you are finally having that garage sale! I agree with B's pricing method. Sounds easy. Lucky to have a neighbor that can help with your truck. Good luck with all of that. Sounds productive!
I have a list of stuff I need to do today too. Guess what? Back to work full time for me Friday!! Can you believe it? The good life will be over.

Instead of having a garage sale with all that hassle, you might consider taking it all to a place like Goodwill that accepts all that stuff. If you itemize on your taxes, you can get a pretty hefty deduction for donations (probably more than you realize!), with a minimum of headaches. Here's a site I've been using for a number of years to come up with the value of items donated (it's easy to use and amazingly detailed...you can get it down to things like "women's pullover sweater, fair condition" and it will tell you what the current thrift market value is)...and it's now free! (No, they don't pay me for endorsing it!)
I know it's not the same as cash-in-hand, but it's a whole lot less work for you, and you do get the value back in deductions, so it does keep more money in your pocket.
Hope that helps!
Peace, Dawn

Well my truck repair was delayed until tomorrow. That sucks but what do ya do???? I did manage to get a lot done today.
Alright this is freakin classic.
I had to run up to the store tonight to pick up a few things for the kids tomorrow. Call it intuition or whatever but I sort of had a little bit of an uneasy feeling.
I was just about finished getting what I needed to get. I was heading up to the end of the isle when I met face to face with the chump she is dating. He looked like he seen a ghost and for a split second it looked as though he wanted to turn around. LOL!
I locked eyes with him immediately so he really had no choice but to continue on. I received a quiet and quick "hey man how you doing?" I returned with a rather loud "Not Bad." "How are you?" and a glare. He kept right on walking and responded with something I couldn't even understand. He wouldn't stop or look back.
I saw him once more as I was leaving. He had a package of diapers which I assume were for my son. Nice!
I may hear about this from you know who and if I do all I'm going to say is I'm sorry, I don't have much respect for someone who messes around with 19yr old little girls and married women.
Mach your right I should have handed his ass the diapers in my cart and asked him if he wanted to buy them too.
WTF am I doing right now??
The more I think about it, as long as ding dong is in the picture, I don't give a sh*t what she says.
It sure did. Probably for the good. Sort of reset it right back to a couple of weeks ago in a way.
Don't get me wrong, I see this assbag for who he truly is. I'm not even going to say anything. It's just too damn bad she doesn't open her eyes.
Mine are a bit more open now.
I'm going to have to get in touch with her tomorrow about finding someone to watch the kids for a couple of days. Not really looking forward to that, but whatever.
I agree with B's pricing method. Sounds easy. Lucky to have a neighbor that can help with your truck. Good luck with all of that. Sounds productive!
