damn fleas.....

ugh......my indoor cats have fleas and this morning I found three fleas on me.  Biting insects like fleas and mosquitos adore me....evidently I am particularly tasty.  We've treated the cats but now we have to figure out how to get them out of our house.  I don't like to use horrible toxins around the guys....any ideas anyone?

Of course this goes on the list with the leak in the bathroom ceiling (oops, it's raining....) and all the other things around the house we need to deal with. I just don't have the energy for everything these days....

On another note....I love my friend David Conroyd for many reason but most recently because he informed us that there are Union Pacific Big Boys on display closer to us than Scranton as I had mentioned previously.  In fact....there is a Big Boy only three hours away at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis!!  Leo is beside himself with excitement....we have already reserved a hotel in a few weeks and will make it an overnight trip....never thought I'd look forward to spending a night in a hotel with a five year old and seven year old and going to look at trains....

Right now we're off to my parents to finish unpacking them.  My father starts adult daycare tomorrow.  Cross your fingers.  I think my mother is terrified of being alone.  Of course one of the reasons we did this was so she would have some time not to worry but I don't know if she's seeing it that way at this point.....one day at a time I guess....

Now if I could only stop feeling fleas everywhere on me.......
