We're in!
I just had to share the tale of our first
night here.
I was in our van with Princess, Buddy, Babycakes
and Milo the Wonder Cat.
Milo is not a happy traveler.
Not even a little bit.
So much so that Mimi
chose to stay behind with Hubs
and travel in his car
to avoid listening
to the yowling
for four very long hours.
So, we finally reach our
new house,
and I pull Babycakes out of the van
and notice he's completely soaked.
No worries,
we'll change him inside!
Princess grabs the cat,
and we head up to the door
where I here a horrible
screeching sound coming from our
new house.
I open the door to every fire alarm
going off in chorus.
I fumble in the darkness for a light switch,
and nothing.
No light,
no matter which switch I hit.
I send the kids
and the cat
back to the van
and call Hubs.
Luckily, Hubs has a work friend
that lives
minutes from the house,
and he rushes over to yank
the batteries from the alarms,
bringing blessed silence.
I drag my crowd back in,
deposit the cat and his
gear in a bathroom, and shut him in,
change Mr. Soggy Pants,
and realize that the cooler full of
fridge food that I brought
was going to have to stay in the cooler.
And what do I find hanging on the doorknob?
A shut off notice!
It turns out that instead of
transferring the power and gas,
the previous owner
had them come and SHUT IT ALL OFF!
So, I give them a call,
and they are happy to make an appointment
for Monday.
Today is Friday.
The truck,
with the contents of my house
will be here at the crack of dawn,
and we have no light,
or heat.
To be continued.....
