We've had such a productive weekend after a nasty week medically and emotionally.
We were going to participate in a block sale Saturday morning but something came up late Friday with an extended family member. Instead we woke a bit late and went to yard sales.
We need a fridge and a range for the house we're renting. We came across a yard sale with a 4 month old energy star fridge AND in the color I want for $350.
The man had left the military and then returned and had no use for it (fridges are included in base housing). We had anticipated spending $700-800 on a fridge during labor day sales.
Later I took a look at Craig's List and came across a four-year-old stove for $90. That's about $210 or more that we saved off of what we anticipated during labor day sales. It's the exact stove we planned to buy new.
We came home and packed up all of the things we'd planned to get rid of at the yard sale and then dropped them off at a charity organization. It was literally ~400 lbs worth of books, lawn mowers (two), stroller, clothes, etc. So much junk.
We packed up about 3/4 of our garage and cleaned up and organized other areas (pc room, kids art/hsing area). I cleaned out the filing cabinent and old file boxes and have around 50 POUNDS of paper that need shredded. Yes, you are reading that correctly. The bags weigh more than dd.
That was all on Saturday.
Today I've cleaned more, taken care of the lawn, organized the kids dresser and gone through winter clothes to get rid of duplicates and see what's needed.

Productive weekend
Went to the ER to get meds Saturday night. Sunday we cleaned the house and packed for school - a major ordeal with my little guy (two bagsful of stuff go with him to school!).
