I think I am addicted.

TO EBAY!!!!!!!!!!

YALL, MY GOAL IS THAT EBAY IS GONNA BUY ME SOME HARDWOOD FLOORS FOR THE GIRLS BEDROOMS. (lets all keep your fingers crossed)

I have this new found passion for ebaying all my yard sale stuff that is just sitting up stairs getting dusty.
I have always wondered about ebaying stuff but never took the time to actually do it.
I actually failed the first couple of times because my stuff did not sell, I was bummed and gave up for a while. Now, I guess I am gettin' good!

A couple of months ago is when i really got addicted. I put a Gap wool skirt on there that I had had at least 6 years that sold for $20.50 not counting shipping. I thought I was rich!! Right then and there I decided everything in my attic was gonna be on eBay. (not really)

So, anybody that needs some extra cash, now you know my secret... EBay. You can do it too.

Since, I am married to Dave Ramsey himself I had to find my own way to save up for some hardwood floors, that would never be in our budget.

If you have seen our carpet you would be donating to my fund!

Carpet and kids just don't' mix!!
I was stupid enough to put hardwood everywhere except the bedrooms when we built thinking.... ohhh, I don't want the kids to have to play on a hard surface or them to fall off and hit there head. (they will survive) My carpet didn't.

Thanks to Aubree not going to the bathroom to do #2 for almost a week really did it for the carpet.
Well, it was the first time I had ever given my kid Mira lax and was not sure how it would affect her.

I think she went 2 days straight and since she was potty training and had panties on, most of the #2 ended up on the carpet. Now, of all places in the house, why couldn't she just poop on the hardwood.
I actually showed her.... see, hardwood....carpet, if you can't control it use it on the hardwood not the carpet. Poor thing, those big brown eyes just looking at me like I am crazy. Like she wanted her beige carpet to be brown. (forever)
I think by the end of the week she had stained every carpet we have.
I KNOW, YALL ARE ALL THINKING.... I AM NEVER GOING TO HER HOUSE OR STEP FOOT ON HER CARPET!!!

I promise it has been cleaned numerous of times but it does no good. I refuse to give anymore money to the so called professionals. THE STAINS ALWAYS COME BACK!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DONATE TO THE H.C. CARPET FUND!

I'm going to dig through my stuff right now to contribute to your hardwood fund!! We put it in every bedroom but ours and I wish we'd put it there too! So far, thank goodness, all our poopy accidents have happened on the tile...DIRECTLY in front of the toilet.

I love ebay too, but I hate when I get outbid on something by a cent! We even sold a car on there once. It's a great place to get kids cloths cheap. Ah, yes, the poopy stains. Gotta a few of those at my house too! I think it's a rite of passage or something.

I love to buy thing on Ebay..however i have not took the time to learn to SELL on ebay. I have enough "yard sale" items to do a lot of things around the house I want to do. You will have to get with Mrs.Deedra and have an Ebay 101 I can attend to "get rich" ha ha, too!!

Bye the way, Rick said PLEASE have the 101 so he can have his building back. He is sick of my "things"...aka "junk" in his word, taking up "his" space! He said I have a small fortune in JUNK!!! lol.

I have thought about that myself. I know some people have done really well selling on ebay. Tell Aubrey she can come poop on my carpets anytime because she is the sweetest thing:) I just love her!
