My mommy and I recently moved across town (across town- if you have to cross the park for any reason its considered to me "across town"). We moved from a house to a an apartment. I know it sounds weird and kinda stupid. We had to though. The house we were living in was owned by my mom's friend and she was letting us live there for half the rent they were paying ($200). It doesn't sound like much but for my mom and me it is quite a bit of money. So we decided to move to the apartment. It wasn't a dream come true. The price went down 75 bucks, but there was a catch to this move that my mom didn't ask to care about my opinion. NO PETS ALLOWED! This means i can not have my cats with me.
She decided to tell me this as soon as we moved the entire kitchen to the apartment. I was furious. I didn't talk to my mom for about 2 hours. I guess she knew i wasn't going to want to move if i knew that was a rule of moving. When we finished moving my moms room to the apartment we brought the big cats because we didn't want to leave them in the house by themselves. I was even more mad because shes didn't want to get my kittens from the other house. I didn't talk to her for another 2 and half hours. She felt bad after a while though. She came to my room which only had my bed and told me to get dressed. I did, but i wasn't happy about it. She told me to get i the car, also not happy about. Then we pulled up to our old house and she told me to go get my little f******. I don't like when she calls them that. I made a face at her but i was happy. I went inside the house and put them in a bag that was on the floor and took them into the car. My mom looked at me and looked at her and in that little moment of quietness i knew she loved them just as much as i do. When we got to the apartment my mom told me to out them in my room and close the door. Thats how we had to treat them in the house because the daddy of the kittens trys to hump the girl kitten. Weird, I know.
Saturday morning we woke a little early to start moving the rest of the house. Apparently 10:30 is considered early. We got dressed after mom made sausage biscuits. We laoded the car with boxes and started driving around to pick our little helpers (my younger than me cousins). They are not that strong so all moved from the house was my moms recliner, to side tables, my dresser, the washer and dryer, the refridgerator, and the little shelves from my room. Not much done with a whole day of work. When we were done unloading it into the apartment my little cousins and i sat on rolling chairs and raced around the living room. (The floor is hard. Not carpet, and not wood. The other kind. Makes it perfect for rolling around in rolling chairs.) It was really fun. We ate pizza and chips and drank poweraide. It was just really fun, the most fun i had since the move.
Anther early day broke upon us Sunday. We woke 8:30 to go to church. I love church it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. It just brings joy to my soul. Like i have been liffted from the doubt and hardships of everything. Just amazeing. Anyway, after church we gathered up the same crew that helped yesterday plus one older than me cousin. (Not much older, just 6 days older. ONLY 6 DAYS.) We move the entertainment center from the livingroom, my room, my teacher desk (really big and heavy), the couch, and my Mommy's desk (really tall but not that heavy). After we unloaded all that stuff we started to organize the whole house and empty boxes. I whent straight to my room and emptied box after box. I had a lot of stuff that needed to be either shelfed or thrown away. Itwas crazy. Today all we have to do is hang things up. Like posters or pictures.
During this whole 4 Day move my cats stayed with us. It was hard to try to keep them out of the way and move them from room to room but it all worked out. My mom told me this morning instead of trying to get rid of the kittens, that we can keep them. Just hide them from the inspectors. So the idea is to keep the kittens at my grandmas until 5 every day. And on weekends we can bring them back to the apartment. This morning they are in the old house. But in glad that they are there and not on the street or with some stranger. The move was hard and difficult but in a way i guess is a dream apartment. I have a big room, My mommy, and best of all my little kittens!
