Crack Really is Bad For You
| And apparently the moving company that I had come give me an estimate is smoking a ton of it or something! The estimate finally came in yesterday for coming and packing up our house and moving it less than half a mile away. You ready for this? $3,600.00! I about pooped in my pants. No lie! So, I asked what if I pack everything and you just come load it up and move it. Holy schmokes! $1,650.00! Seriously now. Do people actually pay this kind of money? Seriously? Well, I know that I'm not paying that kind of money anyway. I'd rather pay an extra $650 in rent for July and slowly carry things in my car for a couple of weeks then rent a U-Haul for the big items! I called a couple of other places this morning that are going to come give me estimates. Hopefully theirs will be more reasonable. This morning, I woke up to this though and it was just too cute to not take a picture.  Since the kiddos are on a 4 day weekend, I let Kolby stay up and play his X-Box 360 until he just couldn't play. It's really pretty rare that Kolby sleeps in past 8am, but he did this morning! Now, I kinda wish that he had slept in a bit later! You see, when he got up, he went to let the big puppies out and feed them. That's when he found it. Something swimming in the pool. Something that looked terribly deformed in the face. Something incredibly disgusting. Something that I am absolutely terrified of...even more so than spiders! Oh whatever, I can't even type it. Look for yourself.  Of course, Sissy wasn't going to let that thing have all the fun! So, she snagged it out and tortured in for a few minutes in the backyard! I was horrified that she grabbed it in the first place. I didn't want her catching anything from this mutant thing, but I was mortified at the thought of her letting it go, allowing it to end up only God knows where too. So, I yelled at her to drop it. Then I would yell at her to not let it escape. Then, I would yell at Ozzy to quit attacking Sissy to try to get her "toy" away from her. I was so confused! Sissy probably was too!   And eventually, I worked up the courage to use the shovel and scoop it into a tall pot that was out in the shop. That's where it is staying until the man gets home tonight and does something with it too!  I still feel like I'm going to vomit! EEWWW!!! This is quite simply NOT the way to start off the weekend. |
Shel, if you would like to give the mover I used a try, here's his info.

He used to be a professional mover in Austin I think. He has his own dollies, pads and straps, truck and everything. He's a great guy. Good Luck!
Here's one of his ads...
"I am a full service, insured, local mover who charges fair rates. I can move your armoire across the room, or your room across the state. I can work by myself if the situation dictates, with you if you want to save some money, or with my partner if needed. I have a truck full of furniture pads, dollies, and plenty of straps to tie down your possessions. I have a medium sized uhaul-type truck that has an enclosed box to keep your things safe and dry. I am usually wide open schedule-wise. I also do deliveries from local stores here in Wichita Falls, and I travel to DFW often. Please call 224-2684, or email jklstewart@gmail.com"
