Our New Life
We moved this weekend! What a weekend! We are still tired and still unpacking. We were blessed to have Eliana stay at my parents in GA for 5 days. I am sure it felt like an eternity to them! She had fun and is worn out. We have rented a storage unit and for 2 weeks or so Craig has worried that our stuff would not fit. I had to be positive and tell him not to worry about it! It will all be fine. Saturday came and it started early by trying to round up our two cute and adorable cats. HA! Our plan was to catch Molly first since she is the devil cat. No such luck. So we had to let them be and keep the doors closed as we moved. We had Molly trapped in the bathroom and Kitty in another room. We Kitty got out of that room and disappeared. Aline said she went upstairs and someone else saw her downstairs. I did not worry about her until I started to look for her. No such luck. I saw the look on Craig’s face and knew she was missing. I started to look outside and she was nowhere. About 10 minutes later Dave found her wrapped up in my heating blanket in the closet. I had looked in the closet but not IN the blanket! She was curled up and hiding. By this point the guys were heading out with the first load in the UHaul. Jenny, Aline and I stayed behind. Our mission: to round up the cats! I was able to get Kitty with not much of a problem. I am not sure if Aline and Jenny were fully aware of what Molly could do and what noises she could make while trying to round her up. I went in to the bathroom and sat on the tub while she growled and purred at the same time. I finally got in the tub with my towel in hand and she let out the most horrible noises ever. Jenny came in with the carrier and with one swoop she was in! Now, I am not sure if you get excited about little things but here are three girls celebrating and high fiving because we got a cat in the carrier! It was great! Now on to taking them to their new home…the basement of Dave and Erla’s. They made it okay. Later that evening when we were basically done Craig and I went down to check on them. No cats around. Where are they? I looked up and saw that two tiles in the ceiling were moved from a previous leak. No. They could not be up there. No way. But Kitty loves to climb and jump. Still. No way. YES WAY! Kitty was in the ceiling! Craig was able to get her down. Now we had to find Molly. Happened to find Molly behind the couch still hissing at me! Quickly closed up the ceiling! They are now adjusting to new life. Molly has stopped hissing at me but stays her distance. Kitty is all over the place!
Thanks to all who helped us! It was greatly appreciated!
