Quack, Quack, Quack

Getting my ducks in a row has lead me to the search of rental properties.

Yep, really looks like the kids and I are moving (damn national unemployment crisis).

We are downsizing which is funny to say since we live in only 1,114 square feet but regardless we need smaller. Smaller = less monthly payment, simple math.

Little H had been my rock and only ask that we stay in town, he wants sidewalks and streetlights. A few properties were worth calling about till the rental price was named and all I could say was "ummm oh okay thank you for the information". Then there are the ones in my price range but I know that heating and cooling would be sky high. So the search continues.


We came across this one, just one street over from Main. The price is good but it is connected to an electrolysis something, not sure what it is. But Little H said that he really thought it would be creepy at night. Of course that perked me up..."Oh we could call Ghost Hunters and have TAPS come out and investigate". H was not impressed, guess he is not crushing on J Hawes like myself. I did point out to him that the house next door was the real creepy house.

The teenager did agree with mom on that point. I can see the lady in white peering through the window now!

Little M and H are cool with the possible move and going to an even smaller house. Have to say overall I have fantastic fabulous kids!

H did ask if we could make sure the house was not pink.

He knows this is my dream house :).

Best of luck looking for a new home, Laura. I'll be doing the same thing this summer, I think. While you're doing it because of the economic situation we're all in, do your best to make it as exciting and as fun as possible.

After all, life is what you make of it.

Love this post! I don't know if you know... I'm house-hunting, too!

I thought I'd found the PERFECT house last week, but it was too creepy at night, too. The search continues... and in the end, I might just keep renting.

Best of luck!
