more of today

i don't have many words right now.
i am overwhelmed...with gratitude and amazement.
and i totally hit a wall about 3 pm and am up on my bed for the next 20 minutes trying to "recover" {ran up here the second pat got home!} before our Shepherd group arrives to help us for the evening!

we made lots of progress today.
9 am the first person showed up.
and they were all so amazing.
just, "what can i do?"
and i actually think i did a pretty good job of having specific things for people to do.
{SO HARD! i want to do it all myself!!!}

then kelly showed up with bags...of our dinner for tonight and breakfast for tomorrow.
HOW SWEET!!
and we totally needed that!
i mean, we could have eaten peanut butter and jelly...again...but how NICE to have a REAL dinner! {they ALL appreciated it, kelly! THANK YOU!!!}


so many amazing women here helping out...
ladies i run with
friends from church
friends from the blog world
friends from high school

and holly came back (!) with bailey's 4 friends :-)


and more people stopped to shop.
one guy bought so much stuff that he had to back his truck up in the driveway!
we made over $400 more today.
and it hasn't made a dent in the amount of stuff we have!


the kids all did so great.
i have no idea how many kids were here...but they all did great!
{no, it wasn't cold. i have no idea why bailey has her coat on.}


the mulch and some plastic dishes kept them occupied for a LONG time!

and i survived on this all day.
which is probably why i hit a wall at 3 pm...

we have a list of things to do yet tonight.
and i am tired.
it's really hitting me...the tiredness.
i hoped it would wait til after the yard sale.
hopefully i'll get a second wind...and be able to sleep tonight!
{i slept GREAT last night, by the way!}

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for everything!
the chance of isolated thunderstorms has gone from 40% to 30%!
keep praying! :-)
