Sellin' our "baby"

So we finally found the perfect "newer" used travel trailer. We are so excited to be moving up from our little 21 footer. Sunday we brought our old baby home to take all of our stuff out of it and give her the once over and suddenly all the memories came flooding back of all of our adventures in this trailer. Its amazing to me how we get attachments to material things. I know the day someone comes to drive it a way I will be sad.. but then I look forward to making memories in our new trailer.

Which brings me to my "gripe." Trying to sell a "high" ticket item is kind of a pain. We listed our Trailer on Craigslist figuring we would get the biggest response from that and boy to the weirdo's come out of the wood work... First of all you get those "low ballers" the ones that call and offer you a 1/3 rd of what you are asking... I think "are you kidding me??" I am not that desperate yet.. Not sure if I would be. Then you have those that guilt you with some sob story about someone who needs help.. and maybe there is someone that does need help but at least offer me a decent price instead of only a 1/4 of what I am asking for.

I will have faith that someone will come forward that will love and appreciate our trailer as much as we did.

Wow, that didnt last long

Ok, I have to admit this project 365 was more overwhelming then I thought it would be.. well not really overwhelming..just out of mind. Which is really bad since I really want to do this.. for so many reasons.. day to day life journaling.. photography, scrapbook material.. etc. So then I thought I would start over on Sept 1st.. Well I missed that boat as well. Its not that I haven't been taking pictures.. its just life happens I guess.. and apparently I cant even pause a moment to talk about it.

So I still want to do my project 365. and I plan to make a concerted effort to post daily.. along with all the other things I need to do daily.. Maybe this attempt at this project will show me what I need to give up along the way.. cuz sometimes I think I have my eggs in too many baskets, if you know what I mean.

So today, I pledge yet again to try and post daily.... if for no one else by for myself.


So for today.. I will share the photos of the older kids on their first days of school. "D" is starting her first year in Junior High. Her first day was an emotional one for her. She cried for about an hour after she got home from school. She couldn't get her locker open and she went to the wrong class at the wrong period. I assured her she was probably not the only one and that as the days would go on she would adjust to junior high life. After two weeks she seems to be settling in a lot better. She is adjusting to the homework volume and I think once she is acclimated she will be a straight "A" student. "J" and "JR" started 4th and 3rd grade respectively.. Basically old "hack" for them. "J" continues in the GATE program again this year and JR got tested for GATE. So we should know in a few weeks if he too will be in Gate. "C" will hopefully be able to get into preschool soon. We were on vacation during enrollment so there is now a waiting list for the one we want her to go to. Last year she was in by December so hopefully it will work out the same for this year as well.

So, I will add my blog to my things to do each day.. I mean I check email everyday..how hard can it be right?? Until next time
