We didn't come back to an empty house.  Fleas were everywhere.  We have been fighting them ever since.  Early on we set off two bug bombs that were supposed to treat 10,000 sq feet.  That didn't touch them.  So we treated the yard, dog, and re-bombed.  The second bombing involved a dose that was 90X the first one.  It helped some.  We have also set out water traps.  The girls are covered in bites, but they are getting fewer.  So not only are we packing, but we are also cleaning very well.  It wouldn't make sense if we didn't have several big things come up when we are trying to move.  Not much else has been going on.  Just fleas and boxes.  Today, Heidi was obviously wanting into the fridge and said "please."  I asked her please what?  And she said "more cup please."  When I opened the door she started chanting juice, juice, juice.  I guess she likes the partially fermented oj.

Sunday,May 8 2005, 12:53:07 AMHome Again

Well yesterday we returned from our drive-a-thon.  Last thurs. and
fri we drove 15 hours to OK for my grandmother's funeral.  Sun. we
drove 2.5 hours one way to Hastings for the funeral.  Mon. night
Sarah and I drove to tulsa to spend the night with mama Early. 
Tues. we drove 6 hours to stl to look for a home.  Thurs. Mom and
Dad Williamson drove 8 hours to bring us the girls in stl. 
Yesterday we drove 9 hours home.  The girls did really well. 
During all of that driving there was probably a grand total of 1 hour
of crying.  We found a house in stl that we like.  The rent
is a little cheaper and there is enough space.  I don't know how
people in stl do it.  Almost all of the houses were tiny. 
Three bedrooms in a 1000 square foot house small.  Now that we're
back, we are packing again.  We will drive back to stl probably on
the 20th.
