Busy Bees

Posted under Being RSG by Recovering Straight Girl

I love bees, I would like to have some bees but my oldest daughter is terr-i-fied of them. We can’t even eat dinner outside for fear of a killer bee attack. I remember when I was pregnant with her I was on a picnic with her father and the bees were especially aggressive–they wanted by sandwich and bad. I was watching them pulling pieces of lettuce out of the sandwich and flying away. I wonder if that is why she’s so afraid? Probably not.

I’m procrastinating. I’m a busy bee today, getting ready for a Garage Sale tomorrow. Why am I torturing myself like this? Because I think my wife was about to rent one of those dumpster things to get rid of stuff and I can’t let her break her environmental commitment. A Garage Sale is the perfect compromise–our house is rid of clutter–my stuff is recycled to someone who loves it–I get money to buy more plants and flowers for my growing garden–I attract bees–and all is well in the world (we won’t tell DD#1 about the bees part.)

Tonight we are dining with my friend SMB and then watching him perform in Les Miserables at The Broadway Rose Theatre. I hear the tickets have been selling like crazy so if anyone out there wants to go, jump to it. SMB said that he can take the girls back-stage, so they are thrilled. We can’t wait.

Tomorrow’s home school lesson is about capitalism and recycling. The girls will be having a drink stand and I will be invoicing them for their products–after the sale they can calculate their overhead and profits. I’m wondering if I should charge them rent for the space?
