Yeah for libraries & the moving story.
Today we got our library cards so we could check out some books & finally get online. This is exciting. The library is great & I found some really fun books for Logan. Nothing for me though, like I actually have time to read, sheesh.

Anyway, the big move. Well, we started packing on Thursday & Friday. It took forever. We continued into Saturday....all day. We were planning on driving up that afternoon, but it took too long. We were running out of room in the U-Haul & decided to just stay at a hotel & unpack the next day. Then we got the phone call.

Bill's mom was in town from the baby shower from the previous weekend. She offered to clean the house for us so it was ready to move into. At 8:00 pm on Saturday night, she called. Hysterical. So much that I could hardly understand a word she said.

She was going on about how the bathroom had mold behind the walls & she couldn't get it clean. She was freaking out about the windows that were broken (& were going to be replaced before we moved in) & telling me that all she could imagine was Logan falling into the wood burning stove. She was terrified that there was a skull in the back yard (an animal skull. I told her that unless it was human & attached to a body, I didn't care). She pretty much begged us to not move in & find another place to live, after the fact that we already paid our deposit & signed the paperwork. We said that we would take a look at other places, but we had to be moved in by Sunday because Bill started work on Monday.

We drove up that night. I drove the U-Haul & one of my sisters sent a text messages hoping that the move went well. I called her. Boy did she get an ear full. She was the first person that I talked to after this whole situation happened. I felt bad because all she did was listen to me scream & cry about everything (thanks again Jen).

We ate dinner & got ready for bed. Logan hated the hotel. It was a strange place for him & the air conditioner wasn't working that well, so it was ungodly hot. We all didn't sleep very well that night.

The next morning we drove to Bill's sister house, with our entire house (well, most of it) sitting out front in the U-Haul. They found a place for us to check out & made an appointment for that morning. This was actually a place that we had an appointment for last week when we were hunting around. We cancelled because it was all carpet & I really wanted to find a place with hardwoods. That, & when I talked to the landlord about pets, she didn't seem too thrilled & said that she would need to speak to her husband. I didn't think it was a good match, so we cancelled. But now, there we were.

The place was clean & the people were nice. It just wasn't anything like what I was looking for. This house was seriously stuck in an 80's time warp. The color of the walls looks peach, or maybe flesh is a better word. The good thing is the back yard that Buddha & Kitty can run around in & there is a boy across the street that is just a week older than Logan. The family also happens to be friends with Bill's sister.

We said it would work out, mainly because we didn't have anywhere else to go. I'm still pretty bitter that this wasn't a house that I wanted, but what Bill's mom wanted. However, before we signed anything, we had to settle things with the other house.

We had been talking back & forth with this guy trying to get out of the lease. At first he was cool with it, then he wasn't, saying that he needed to talk to his attorney. At worst we could get sued for the entire lease being $12,000.

Time is up for me & gotta go....update to be continued.....
