Ebay




I really want to include Weird Al Yancovich's song, "Ebay" along with this post, but I don't how so I'll leave a link.
Tony's been bugging me for a while to sell stuff on Ebay. I didn't listen at first because a lot of the stuff was given to me and I felt like I should just give it to someone else. Then I decided to quit ignoring my husband and just try it out. I was also inspired by "AL". Well I've made close to $300.00 in one month! Now you would think I had sold super cool stuff...HA! I'll include some pictures. Used Crocs advertised as still in good shape structurally, do not look new, but clean, SOLD for $13.50 plus $3.00 to Ship (I only had to pay $1.65 shipping ;) ) Used Bermuda shorts good condition SOLD for $6.00 plus $ 5.00 shipping. Baby toy good shape sold for $12.00 plus $5.00 shipping! What the heck! Are these people nuts! I've gotten great feedback from everything too. "Great Seller! A++++++Ebayer! Super Fast Shipping!" really boosts the spirits in the morning. LOL The baby toy I sold cost $18.00 new when I bought it at Christmas time. I almost croaked paying that much, but it was so cute. Madison never played with it.

This just goes to show how competitive people can be. It's the whole "I want to be the winner" mentality that gets me $51.00 dollars for and old baseball glove that had been sitting in Brandon's closet for 2 years!

So if ya'll have some old junk siting around....Sell it on Ebay!

Ball Season

Well, we are well into our ball season and I feel like I live at the ball park. Sara, you are lucky to have just recently started and missed some of the cold nights, maybe. Needless to say, this is why I haven't posted in a while. I haven't gotten to see much of Brandon's games because they are usually at the same time as McKinley's. I stand between the two fields and watch one or the other. I usualy watch more of McKinley's since she pitches. It seems like every time I miss seeing Brandon bat. Anyway, it is pretty stressful keeping up with four kids who aren't playing for the 2-3 hour games especially once it gets dark. Brady comes home pretty dirty from playing in the dirt where I stand to watch. I have my little group of baby sitters that take turns with Madison, and the little girls usually run around where I can still keep an eye on them. I'm lucky to see any of the game. Since Tony coaches Brandon he can't help out. Thanks Pops, for relieving me of some of the very late Friday night games. I told my babysitter, Kappi, I was going to hire her one night so I could just sit and watch a game with out worrying where all the kids are. LOL

But both kids are playing well and enjoying it. We only have 3 weeks left whew. I think McKinley is the only one playing allstars this year, but that is still up in the air. Tony doesn't want Brandon to play this year since he just moved up to the minors.

I am so sick of smelling the frenchfries cooking and when the kids get some I find myself eating them without even wanting to. Yuck.

Sorry if this post is pretty depressing; I'm just so stressed out and tired. Any prayers for energy and patience would be welcome. My house is a dissaster from my never being home to clean, and when I am, I'm too tired.

I'm going to try and post some pics.
