Murphy's Law

I'm gearing up for a huge consignment sale in March. I've got about 5 huge bins worth of baby clothes and toys to sell (the grandparents were just as generous when the girls were babies too). I'm already working on washing and tagging each item (they use barcodes - this is serious stuff!)

It's been hard to look at all those teeny tiny clothes again. Were the girls really that tiny? I can even still smell their sweet little bodies on some of them. This whole thing is difficult because I really want to be able to give them to someone I know who could use them. I already donate to Goodwill on a regular basis, but I want these to go to some little babies that I know. The problem is that none of my friends have babies now. My sister and her husband are bound to have kids eventually, but they just got married and aren't planning to for a while and that would mean saving all this stuff for years and we just don't have the room. Plus, I'm hoping to make some money to use towards home improvements. We finally fixed up the girls' room around Thanksgiving. Now I want to tackle our bedroom and the bathroom and maybe new doorknobs on the interior doors (all exciting, yes). So my sale money is hopefully going to go towards that.

Of course, I'll probably sell all this baby stuff and find out I'm pregnant the week after the sale. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.
