...I don't know my east from my west until the sun sets, though, so I don't know if we're moving on up to the east side or not...but we are definitely movin' on up!!

We came home from work one day last week to discover an ABUNDANCE of mouse droppings in the kitchen. (Um, yeah...needless to say, we hadn't been in the kitchen much in quite a while...it's small, musty, and not nice to cook in, so we don't!) Well, my daughter, who is pathologically afraid of mice (as if I'm much better!) started crying and trembling, and even though we set traps, cleaned like maniacs, and put out all manner of poison, we kept finding droppings the next couple of nights. We decided that was our last straw...we didn't much like a lot of things about that apartment...okay, all we DID like is the cheap rent and the nice landlord...so we decided to start looking for something new.

Saturday I was babysitting and looked in the newspaper to find a listing for a townhouse that was within our budget. We drove over to take a look at the outside and liekd what we saw...contacted the owner on Sunday to see the inside and filled out our applications the same day.
Processed Monday, approved Tuesday, lease signed Wednesday...and we are moving in this weekend!

Rush rush rush...wow. But we will finally , after three years, have a dishwasher and garbage disposal again. Heather has her own room again. And we finally will have enough closet space to get everything put away again. And the nice little bonus of an extra half bath...wonderful!!

So you won't see me for a while...no internet til next week, and then Tuesday is class night, so it'll be nearly a week before I'll be back online. Wish us luck...we are going to need it to get this all done!!!
