Good luck with some quick sales!!! happyface

I know you will be successful at whatever you do. It is your nature.

Last day today! I'm sporadically crying, and then someone does something and I think of how nice it will be to have my house back. Lots of emotions, but oh so happy. It is definitely time! happyfacehappyfacehappyfacelovethis

Nan- What are you selling? I'm a couple of hours away and I love a good deal!

[AfterSchoolMom]

Wow, Nan! Congratulations to you, and to everyone else.

I haven't read this whole thread, but I'm adding myself to it. My husband and I decided that I'm not going to do any daycare, School Agers or otherwise, in the fall. We've been having a bunch of school related issues with the children, so I'm either going to stay home and focus on that and of taking care of our baby (who will be 1 when school starts again) or, we're discussing the possibility of homeschooling.

Regardless, after next Friday, I'm DONE. happyface

I will be selling lots on ebay and craigslist.

Here's the train collection:

OMG.... that's a whole lotta train...

OMG.... that's a whole lotta train...

Most of my collections are like that so it's going to take a ton of work to list. It took me 14 hours to do that one. The manufacture dates are important in this sell because of the lead based paint recalls so we had to look at the wheels of every engine AND piece to get the dates. It took a day to sort the whole thing. Another day to set up, photograph, and list.

Only about 15 percent of the toy inventory isn't set pieces so it's going to be a ton of work.

How are things going post-daycare for all of you? I hope it has been going well!!

I am giving my notice next week. I am nervous because this is WAY earlier than we had planned on, but it was dh's idea and I was all for it. I am super excited for the change, but I am going to miss my kids!

It's going okay. I spent the first 23 days remodeling my first level. That was insanely chaotic. I have never been through that before. It was SO stressful and expensive.

I started the sell off process about five days ago. I have an enormous inventory of clothing from my online ebay clothing store and I'm selling off about 60% of my daycare inventory. It's daunting but I have to do it sometime so now is the best time. I have my whole big house to myself and the space to organize the inventory. I'm having to relearn the Ebay Seller thing which is quite different from the late 2000's.

It's nice to do something different with my brain. I needed a break after twenty straight years of running shop.

The pic is just my inventory of size 5 6 7

[momofboys]

Me too. I'm closing down Friday. happyface

I missed this. Wish you all the best!!!!!!! Congrats to you!

[cherryhill]

I'm also closing

I will be closing at the end of August to start my student teaching. I'm nervous and excited. I will miss all the kids, but I can't wait to have my home back.
