Well here we are Tuesday... this week has been very long and hard so far and its only Tuesday... I did pretty good today, I didn't cry until I got home later this evening but I think its lack of sleep and considering the boys trashed my living room... after I spent all night cleaning here at the apartment, literally all night catching up on cleaning and organizing closets here since we lived in a "closed space"(well thats what it feels like somedays), but anyhow most of my day consisted of getting shop ready for the "BIG SALE" and getting the back room cleaned out, tugged away at it all day and I can honestly say very happy with the progress but feeling very sad just knowing I am bringing the shop to its end of the chapter. I just have really no words to express the feelings I have now...
Just want to thank all of you who helped tonight and thanks to Abby and Billy for helping a TON last night. Tonight was a little change of pace I had some "early bird" shoppers so that was nice but hard too... since it was Abby's mom, and my "regular girls" traveling to the store together for shopping and enjoying each others company. I just appreciate them being the loyal customers they were to me over the last few years and appreciate their support in the closing. I hate the feeling of "letting my customers down" by closing and its hard explaining to them why its happening but I just hope they all realize this decision wasn't an overnight deal... it was a LONG hard process and I still contemplate on it... but deep in my heart I need to be here with my boys while they are young and be their mom and be there for Jer as much as I can and I know the customers that know me as a person understands my reasons but I am just not looking forward to the "typical Cascade snobs" who can do nothing but critize my actions and there will be a few of those this weekend just being at the store to be there... terrible to say but I know its bound to happen.
A little thank you in here for my friend Diane, THANK YOU for the cute little "pick me up gift" as well as a Mother's Day gift.
You seriously couldn't of picked a better day to give it to me other than today :) THANK YOU for lifting my spirits! For that little Ms. Abigail, thank you for your wonderful card of words, you have a way with words that makes a person feel good!! I read it this am and it meant a LOT!!!
Update on house... brick ledge is being worked on this week... so that is a + for the week :)
Well I am going to close, the no sleep last night is starting to sink in and I need to get a few things done yet.
Hope this finds you all well!
