We have begun the slow arduous task of purging and sorting and giving and piling, etc. Daddy was gone to Indiana when we hit our first challenge......THE GARAGE!! Oh my!- we HAD to do it so that we had a place to put everything else that we purge. And so it began, only a move can motivate a job like this! The children set out on a Saturday morning, I requested 1 1/2 hours in the morning and
1 1/2 hours in the afternoon, they were all prepared and were not allowed to make any plans that day.
We did well until we realized the abundance of .........MOUSE POOP (and the sighting of 3 mice)!!!!! We swept and cleaned and swept and cleaned until it dawned on me, as I watched Sammy rub his irritated eyes, that there is a disease in mouse poop and you are not supposed to sweep it!!! PANIC struck! After a good dose of freaking out, I calmed down and finished our task. It seems that I have one of these striking panics about something every time Rob is gone. So--- we are all contaminated I am sure, we did have the garage door open the whole time :) (I hope all you relatives are laughing now) I have been sufficiently made fun of and well...the garage is clean, we have caught 2 mice (which await the arrival of dear old dad), and we didn't even fight too much!
So now we continue with the rest of the house as we wait for continued confirmation that we will soon be relocating to Indiana. Our time in this sweet town is going to be missed and the children are taking their time in adjusting to this reality. We know they will be fine but their hearts are a bit broken. I will fill you in on anymore fun moments we have in this endeavor!!
