Brenna's Little Freak Out

So I've been freaking out a little bit lately.  I went to Bob for solace.  "I'm freaking out" I said.

"Good!" he said "Now I can stop for a while and let you take over."  Sigh...

We're leaving sometime between May and July.  We've started selling things on Ebay and Craig's list.  We've donated hundreds of books to the library, and carloads of clothing to Goodwill.  We're having a Cocktail Tag Sale in a few weeks.  That should be fun: have a party - sell your life.  I jest, truly.  I really am fine so far

Little Motorboat the Rescue Cat

Cell phone pic of Little Motorboat in September 2007. I've removed several pictures of my kids from my phone, but not this one of the cat.I've always considered myself a dog person (that's the answer I give when Brenna forces me to take some magazine personality quiz anyway), although it's been a while since I've actually had a dog.
