James and I decided late Wednesday night that we were going to have a yard sale this Saturday. Yes, I know it was kind of last minute, but sometimes those are the most fun. =) So the cleaning began. First I clean out all of my clothes, (i have a LOT...really) Then it was the bus. (yes, we have an old school bus that we use for storage.) After that we moved to work on the house. Then it was back to the bus again. BTW- we did most of this just today. Thankfully my sisters Hanna, Esther, and our friend Alyssa came over to help. They were great! Unfortunately right before we put them to work some not so fun stuff happened. We have a cow pasture in our back yard, and Esther, Alyssa, and our two labs were watching the cows. Apparently they were standing right over a yellow jacket hive hidden in the ground. After they had been over there for a few minutes I heard some commotion and went to see what was going on. I found that both of the girls had been stung. Then I noticed that both of the dogs were covered with what looked like 15 yellow jackets each, and the girls were still being stung. The dogs began rubbing up against us to get the yellow jackets off. So the running began.... After running a few feet I realized that Esther was taking her shirt off to keep from getting stung further. Oh, no!!! Then I noticed that i had a yellow jacket in my hair and I started freaking out, too. So I started to run (jasmine was chasing me, and trying to rub against me). I made it to the porch. By that time i thought the yellow jacket in my hair was gone, and i hadn't been stung yet. James told me to spray the dogs with the water hose. I started and I think it helped a little, but then I realized that the yellow jacket was still in my hair so I started to spray myself with the water hose. I was so scared that I was going to get stung on my head or face and I did not want that to happen. Thankfully it didn't. Both girls and both dogs were stung a few times though. Alyssa was stung at least five times and Esther at least three. I have no idea about the dogs, but James, Hanna, and I came out a little wet, but sting free!
In the end we got everything together for the yard sale! I am so glad that the girls were able to come over and help. They even said that they will be back at 6:00 in the morning to help set up. It is so sweet of them. I just hope it doesn't rain on us.
well, that's all for now.
