Christmas money? Check.

With our extremely limited budget right now, the thing weighing on my mind is finding money to pay for Christmas gifts for my kids and Zachary's birthday.

We don't go all out, just little things, but I do like them to have a variety of fun things to open on Christmas morning.

I am THRILLED to say that the yard sale today was a huge success. I gathered all my stockpile overage, priced it over the last few days and loaded it in the van. My Mom's employer had a huge yard sale today which was nice b/c I didn't have to advertise, set up tables, etc.

I sold 90% (or more) of the items I had out (including all 40+ bags of charcoal) for
$700.

That's right my friends. $700.

Christmas is more than handled. And I can also get some new glasses (which I have been putting off- haven't done in three years), treat my family to dinner out tonight (a very, VERY rare treat) and add to my "van-tire" fund.

Woohoo!!
