Break

The yard sale this weekend was a success! We exceeded our goal and had no major hick-up's. Saturday we had swarms if people and Sunday the few that did stop by had large pocket books!lots of people commented on my signs: Magnificent Yard Sale - this way. Done on neon green poster board with large purple words. People were pulling up asking: "is this the magnificent yard sale?" a few even noticed my organized, pressed clothing and other details. I think my OCD helped make this yard sale so successful.

This week my step-mom is coming to visit. We're all looking forward to having her here. We plan on spending our week drinking Starbucks, swimming and planning out our lake house vacation at the end of next month.

I will be taking this week off from blogging. This blog has changed, grown and morphed so much in just a short 6 months. The growth has come with a slight change in direction and I want to take this week to contemplate the next 6 month of my blogging goal. I have learned so much thus far. I find a kind of therapy in blogging, but I have also offended some and lost some readers. So, I need to take a step back and reevaluate. If you've stuck with me from the beginning, hang in there, I promise I will be back. If you're newer to Moms Inside Story (maybe over from http://www.blogher.com) hold out for just a week, blogging is a new world to me and like anything new, a step back can help you gain a whole new perspective.
