Summer: Wed. 8/5

Spent the day cleaning out the garage, the last frontier of our whole-house cleanout. Took another carload of stuff to the thrift store. The girls came too, and we even went inside the store to look for books. We found a cache of Sweet Valley Twins and bought them all. We got stuck in traffic on the way home, and the seven-minute drive took 45 minutes. Then I met with our dog sitter to touch base one last time before we leave for the beach on Saturday. Tired and annoyed that all I did today was clean, the kids argued over the SVT books all evening.
