I can not believe that it's November! I know everyone says that, but it this whole year has really just creeped away from me.

My mom had a garage sale yesterday and today and I put Ashley's basinet, acvity bouncer, old baby/pumpkin car seat, 7 bags of baby clothes, her activity mat, basically anything she wasn't using anymore and it all sold. I made about $52 from the stuff. Most of the baby clothes I pretty much gave away. There was this really nice lady who found out this couple was having a baby and they didn't have anything and even less money, so she was trying to get some stuff together for them, so I couldn't help but cut her deals (almost steals) on the stuff. In the end, I had one of those moments where my heart ached for just a second seeing all of her stuff go. But it was just taking up space and it's good that it goes to people who will use it and I made a little money off of it. (less I owe to mom and dad for the Florida trip)

Yesterday was really sad. I was on my way home from picking up Steve from downtown and there was a train stopped on the tracks in town. It had hit someone and the person died. It wasn't a very pretty site and the train was blocking most of crossings so we had to go back to almost Woodbury to get across the tracks. I swear I was in tears just seeing the people on the tracks trying to clean up the scene. There were 4 engines and two of them had to be moved because the body was underneath the 2nd engine. They ended up holding up tarps around the area while they tried to remove the body. It was so sad. They said he was just in town staying with his sister and was on some kind of medication for dementia or something, so they aren't sure if he had been drinking or if he just didn't hear the train. The conductor tried to get the man to move out of the way and he didn't. It just made me very sad. :(
