i have been absent lately…absent minded…not present…otherwise engaged…

~take your pick~

in addition to busy-ness of general life back in school….volleyball games…additional college courses…and the constant remodeling going on at our house….

we have also had to contend with …

…illnesses, injury, physical therapy, a friend/doctor finding that she had a tumor in her kidney and said kidney being removed a few short days later,  mom in law in the hospital, chasing down lost eBay packages, and….. DD2’s college athletic scholarship for next year suddenly being pulled (on her birthday no less)… 

…..and today’s dilemma????….

…my house is filled from one end to another with garage sale items… for tomorrow’s city- wide sale …and we are receiving glorious rain….and are expected to continue with on and off thunderstorms through tomorrow…but you see?… i don’t have a garage…that is very low on the to-do list around here….

so…

… my gratitude is sincere for the rain…we have gone so long without any….

however….

what in the world do I do with all of these boxes?
