Hard working KJ
New shelves whoo hooo!
New Shelves amidst the tables I was using
I remember when I was a teen my parents pretty much allowed me to have a life of my own within the confines of school activities. I try my best to follow their rules for mine but things are getting a bit whacked out because my fourteen year old is like I was in school. Imani wants to be into everything social like dance and basketball and concert choir. Which keeps me feeling like a chauffeur since this area has no public transportation. I try to support her but with my business I am starting to need her more and more as things grow. So yesterday I went to pick her up from school before her little drill team practice so she could help out with new items that consignors had brought in. Poor thing she was so upset I knew she was literally near tears because if you don't practice you don't perform and Imani never misses practice but today it was a must do.
I was not sure if I was upset or angry that she was upset and angry but there were times my parents needed me and guess what family comes first and that is what she needed to learn. By all accounts Imani is like my tall little personal assistant who helps with her siblings and around the house while I work so she's not a bad kid, but I think the chauffeuring back and forth is wearing me thing.
So last night we didn't make it home til about 11 or so and I had not cooked or anything until we got home. I must say it was worth it though I finally got some shelves in yesterday and more on the way. It was exciting and interesting because the moment we put them up and started arranging things the store suddenly became something else. It wasn't just a Swap Shop it is becoming a place with good, quality items to look through.
Finally...it looks like it's going somewhere and Imani and the kids will be right there for the ride whether they like it or not.
Til Next Time
