Stress to the max

Today is Tuesday and we are still in this house, semi packed, still waiting for one application approval from the rental property owner, waiting for the church members to get back to me if they can find a foster or temporary home for the young-un (Chase) and I still have time for blogging!!

Most of my stuff are packed except for bathroom and clothes. DB, no idea what he had packed, his office crap were packed, i know that. We arranged for helpers – my friend’s hubby, DB’s 2 nephews and whoever the nephews can bring with them to help. We also arranged for a moving truck and booked a storage unit for just in case one of the rental properties denied our application…the rental unit we want is much x10 smaller than the other one we saw which we can store a lot more of the bigger items.

We will be bringing the two older boys with us to whichever rental unit we end up with. Chase will be going somewhere which I do not know where. Initially we looked at a house and the owner and his wife were ok and approved our application, and the owner said ok with the 3 dogs. The next day when we were getting ready to leave for the owner’s to drop the rent and deposit check, the owner called to say his wife decided to declined our application because she does not want dogs in the house!!!! Knnb, that almost blew my faith away, and I’m just hanging in there now. I was scrambling to find a place for us 5 and finally made up our decision to only keep the 2 older boys. We were torn….which one(s) to keep…the 2 older ones are more expensive since they are older and the young one is way cheaper.  But we had the two older ones for 10 years and really hard to see them go to another home.  So we decided to give Chase away since he is still young and someone can make a good hunting dog out of him.  He has excellent hunting instincts.  After making our decision, we hunt up the internet for house, townhomes, condos/apts.  Saw a few townhomes (terrace homes) on Sunday and Monday. The last one we saw was yesterday afternoon and she wont get back to us till this afternoon.

The other townhome application was approved but like I said is very small and we have to put most of our stuff in storage (extra cost) and we don’t get to move to the one we want yet till next month. So we thought we will wait for the one we saw yesterday, slightly bigger and has a lot of storage space and of coz the rent is higher.

The entire weekend and up till this moment I’m typing this, I’m still worried, but the man said not to worry, everything will work out and we will be moved out by tomorrow before the sheriff comes knocking on our door and evict us.

One of DB’s nephews will be here later this afternoon. I got some sandwich meat for us coz I know I won’t have time to cook. I even bought plastic cups and use up some custom plastic cups I got from work last week, and paper plates. They are free, what the heck!

The only time I’m not stress is when I’m sitting right in front of the pc with FB games!!! Well, also when I walk the boys and especially walking Cooper and Chase…..the walk is way faster than when I walk Ranger.

Here’s a picture of Chasey, probably the last picture I will take of him. Picture taken few days ago after a lot of running and fetching, hence the hanging tongue….this dog lives to fetch.

One of the church member said he might have his parents take Chasey to northern Iowa where his parents own a hobby farm….big acreage for him to roam around, however, he has to be an outside dog which kinda saddens me, coz Chase is not an outside dog and never has been. I’m not sure, everything with him is still up in the air. I yet to hear from the other lady who arranges foster homes for dogs/cats. Keeping my fingers cross he will have a home to go to by tomorrow night coz tomorrow will be his last day with us. I’m crying now.

And by the way, the three dogs knows something is up. They are extremely clingy. I guess they think we are sending them away for good or we are going somewhere and leaving them.

Will update later.
