concerning a garage sale and waiting for a phone call

I have a book suggestion for every stay at home mom out there. Emilie Barnes's Survival For Busy Women is full of tips on how to organize practically everything around your house and I am using one of the tips today as I have officially started packing for the move. I know it's two months away, but there is plenty of stuff to get through and I'm determined to start early since this is my very first move with a baby. I also have four full boxes of garage sale flotsam, the usual vases and bowls and bits of stuff but also all sorts of books and games that I think will sell. My neighbour came over to help me price things today while the baby was down for his nap and I'm feeling very productive, I have to admit.

Of course, everything else sort of takes a back seat when you're handling a big task at home. Food is the microwaved version, laundry sort of hangs around a bit longer, as do dishes and I tend to stay up late trying to finish things. Suggestions on how to handle this a bit better would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry! I wish I had advice but my days seem about the same as yours! We have a lot of frozen dinners and dishes pile up as does laundry - I think it's an unending cycle (that I despise!)

If you come across any helpful hints PLEASE let me know! lol

Sounds like you've been handling it pretty well. How did the garage sale go?
