Alright – not THAT kind of pooped!!!! Pooped as in tired……………….Mom’s doing all the work but I’m exhausted just watching her. They aren’t even moving until probably mid-June but yet the activity is on an increase around here and I’m not too crazy about it……………
No it’s not my Mom and Dad….these people have happy faces and my parents don’t !!! HAHAHAHA
There’s lots of information out there about how to move when you have a cat – as in how to make it EASY for the cat……I’m wondering if someone wrote a book about that subject for humans because I’m gonna get it for my Mom!! HAHAHA She’s like the energizer rabbit and in between packing and cleaning and fixing things up for the house to be shown to potential buyers, she’s on the computer FOR ME!!! Trust me, if I could do my own computerizing I would – AND I EVEN HAVE THUMBS but that doesn’t mean I can do it all myself. I need her……SO my mission is to slow her down. What’s the hurry Mom? Make sure you check those boxes before you tape them up!!!!
EEEEEK!
Oh – and by the way – where’s DAD??? Shouldn’t HE be helping???? Oh I know – he’s busy isn’t he!!!!
Uh huh……..well he’s just being smart – staying out of the way I suppose!
I can’t wait to relax again…meanwhile I’m staying here – out of the way!
Anyway, you might as well get used to the fact that over the next few months I will be letting off some steam about moving………..among other things………..think you can stand it? Gosh I hope so…..I know all of YOU understand even if my Mom doesn’t quite GET IT!!!!

If you want to vent about moving, go right ahead, Sammy! Back when we moved, I was only posting about my own life once a month (with other posts being book reviews and advice columns), and I didn’t have anywhere NEAR enough space!

Well Sparkle, my Mom was saying through this period of BUSY we might cut back on my daily blogs……maybe do Monday, Wed. and Friday or something……skip weekends……SOMETHING to give Mom a bit more time. You know how tough it is to keep up sometimes with comments and stuff…..BUT so far we’re getting along alright in that department. Who knows though once the house is being looked at by STRANGERS?!?!?!!?
