Ok, so it's really October? Not even the beginning of October...we are over the half way mark...seriously? This year has gone way too fast!!!
Ok, so what's up with me? This will be a catch up post, like the last one was as well...but then I PROMISE I will start doing some real blog posts again. Maybe I'll add it to my calendar as an appointment and then maybe it will get done :)
Ok, so Jacob is back in school, doing awesome! He's in 3rd grade and signed up for "Math Masters". That child is so much like my Dad was, if there's a number involved he's all over it! Kalissa, his big sister is the complete opposite! For her, if it's a story, she's got it covered. English and Languages are her thing. She's currently taking both French II and German I. She says she likes German better than French, but still loves the French teacher. Will be interesting to see what she decides to do next year, rather she will stick out another year of French just because she likes the teacher or move on and just do German. She's already talking about a German exchange student and going to German as part of that program! I swear we need a bigger house! That girl will have her passport full of stamps before she graduates school if she has her way! But I love that she is getting opportunities that I never got growing up.
I started a business Carried Away Consignment kinda on a bit of a whim and also out of necessary. Finances are tight with only one income and the kids doing so many activities, plus I just don't do well without a job. I like being busy and I like having some spare cash to go to lunch if I want or such. Christmas is looking dull on just our budget so I'm hoping this helps brightens the Christmas lights so to speak. :) Carried Away Consignment is for people who has clutter and "garage sale" items around their home that they want to sell, they would like a little more out of it than just a tax write-off if they donate it, but they just don't have the time, interest or desire to sell it on E-bay or FB or even to have a garage sale. I take the items, take pictures, write up a description, sell them item, deliver/ship it, collect the money and then take just a small commission for the sale. Started this Sept 21st (easy day to remember since I started it on my 40th birthday :P) and so far, I have sold over $400 worth of items. Not bad in less than a month! Yesterday, I met with my first "real" customer, aka not someone I knew before I started this business, and so I feel like I'm really in business now! Which also means I need to get off this blog page and get to work! :)
More to come...I promise to blog again soon. :)
