Swollen Feet and a Good Tan

Well I've got swollen ankles and a good tan from yesterday. My neighbor, Anna, had been having a yard sale for the past few days and I was still in my semi-funk on Friday and quite frankly didn't feel like working. I had already planned on going to B'ham to see my parents and was going to leave early and that fell through so I didn't feel bad about missing work. Besides, my phone rings where ever I am. So I called Anna Friday morning from work and asked her if she was doing her sale on Saturday too. She said yes so I asked her if I could piggyback off of her and she said no problem. Jana has been in a funk too and had to get out of the house so she and I both went to the house to get things ready for the yard sale.



It was ridiculous. My den was packed full of brand new items for sale. They were all tagged and ready to go. We also worked on my garage and wow was it hot. I sweated so badly that my hair was dripping wet. It was so hot and humid in the garage. We did a really good job. I had to leave and pick up the kids and the way there I stopped to try and find a canopy/tent thingy for shade during the sale. I had previously wanted to purchase one for when the kids are outside, etc. I didn't find one at either Linen 'n Things or Bed Bath & Beyond.



I get the kids and run into WalMart and find just the perfect thing. On our way out we run into Angulic and Danielle. Danielle is best friends w/ Mackenzie at school. Angie and Gary have been seperated for a few months now and and she had been really down. I told her to call me if she needed anything.

So the yard sale went really really well. I had people buying baby stuff and personal items like it was nobody's business. We did good with the money.

Then at noon I get a call that Angie found out Gary had been cheating on her the whole time and essentially she had no one to talk to but me. It got very old. She called me at least 10 times that afternoon, but I tried to be there for her. Gary had been very abusive to her over the past 10 years and it all made sense in how she acted. Very quiet and reserved when he was around. It's abused women's syndrome. To take her mind off things she and Danielle come over and the girls play for a while. Then we all get ready and eat at Lee's. It was good and the kids played in the water for an hour afterwards and a good time was had by all.
