Today we're pretending it's Father's day. My sweet CCB has to work on the official day so we didn't want him to miss out. I had a great time "surprising" him with breakfast this morning. I had both kids in the kitchen helping me out. That is rare occurrence. Though it was so nice I may have to make a more regular deal.
Looking forward to being closer to CCB's job. We found a townhouse that is only 8 minutes away! We don't have to pay nearly as high a rent as we would if we lived in Lafayette but we are close enough to enjoy the stuff they have to offer. We are just waiting to hear if we get the place or not. It seems like it was meant to be because the other night while looking for a link to share with my cousin I found a bunch of reviews for the other place we were looking at. They said that even though they were new there was a lot of bad apples moving in there and it was not getting taken care of. SO I found this other place. We had actually seen it when CCB first got this job but we had to wait for the sale of the house. I called the next morning to see if the had a 3 bedroom and one was JUST coming available. The people haven't even left it yet. If I'd have called earlier or later it may not have been available! *GRIN* Must be that squeaky wheel huh, Lucy?
Boxes are proving to be elusive. My hubby is bringing them home but not in the quantity I'd like. Buying them is pricey and seems to be a waste for such a short period of time. I've found some free ones on craigslist but the people haven't replied to my email. Most places compact them now. I'm hoping to score some from the produce dept at Walmart. Wish me luck!
Since I've once again run out of boxes I decided to clean out the crap so I don't have to do it when I pack. I decided to check out this old file cabinet that we've had in the corner of the shop since we've been here. I though it was empty. OH NO! It had bank statements going back to 1989! Receipts from our wedding preparations and trinkets from my first baby shower! Quite a walk down memory lane I'll tell ya. My shredder over heated several times! It's not getting toted around anymore! Feels good to purge the crud!
Well it's off to lavish daddy with more love and adoration. It is his day and all.

It seems like every day is Father's Day for CCB. good news about the townhouse. I'm glad I caught up---I've been so busy with family-related things;;;all good, all labour-intensive.
It does feel good to get rid of things, as long as we're making the right choices. And a weak short-term memory helps.
Yayyy for early Father's Day and having the kids cooking with you! And I'm SO GLAD to hear about the potential town house. See...things are looking up already! I knew they would.
Woah !! what an immersing story....simply couldn't wait to know the end...
nice write !
Yay for the townhouse!
As far as boxes go, you can call places like Walmart, Target, grocery stores, etc. and see if they'll let you come pick up their boxes. I know they normally have a certain day of the week you can go and grab them from them.
Yes, the squeeky wheel gets the grease..... So glad that everything is falling into place...Keep up the packing.
Also, "you don't know until you ask", is another one of my favorite sayings. Check around at some of the grocery stores and ask them to hold you some boxes... I have also been told that liquor stores have some of the best boxes... They are sturdy and free for the asking/taking. Your are doing good.
Happy Fathers Day to CCB...
Check with Wal-mart for boxes.
The wal-marts in this area - in the middle of the night, while they're stocking, put empty boxes in bins through out the store - anyone can go in and get as many as they want, free of charge.
the only catch is having to get out in the middle of the night.
