Break out the wine and the margaritas

because the Hardware family is having another garage sale.

You read that right. I am a moron, a pushover, and a sucker. I bitched about the fact that the inlaws forced the last sale upon us. This time it is my family. So equal opportunity bitching going on here.

Mini Martha decides that she has a ton of things she needs to get rid of. And she needs to make money. Mini Martha made the major mistake of telling sis that her stuff only takes up one chair. So that means Mini Martha has NOT been busy getting that ton of things around to sell. Because this is what Mini Martha does all the time.

The Mominator, on the other hand, will pull us out of the "look at the junky garage sale" funk, and offer up her stuff. She will undersell her daughters on their Vera Bradley. She will undersell her daughters on the Longaberger because, like rabbits, this Longaberger seems to multiply in our houses no matter how many times we sell the stuff off.

So break out the wine and margarita glasses because it's gonna be another fun one. However, I do not believe that I will serve those margaritas to the buying public like I said in my post here.

It's looking to be Margarita Day in Michigan at some point this weekend, so between that and the bottle of wine in my fridge, I'll give a lovely toast to you. In my head, anyway. P might think I've gone off the deep-end if I start toasting bloggers I've never met. Cheers!; 2:55 PM

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.

The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.

The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.

The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.

The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.
