Caring for Carleigh Reading (Chapter 9)

This was a really short chapter but it was fun to read. I couldn't tell how long Lynnette's family ended up living in the Nightmare House, but I could relate to having to move AGAIN. When we were trying to sell our old house, it made my skin crawl knowing people were touring it with the realtor, even though we'd leave before they got there. (Yeah, I have mental problems, LOLOL.) I got so freaked about keeping it clean all the time (and I had just had major surgery a few months before), so my sweet husband moved us into a rental house for four months till our new house was finished building. (Of course, empty, clean houses look fantastic so our old house sold fairly quickly after we moved out!) So we ended up moving twice in four months and it was tough. Anyway, I loved reading about their menagerie of pets and animals. We have two dogs and two birds and that's enough.

Where do you desire to live?

Actually, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to live in Lawrence, Kansas, and I think it's hysterical finding out Lynnette lives in Kansas. My brother lived in Kansas about 15 years ago and I went to visit him when my oldest son was about 9 months old. We had THE BEST time. Everything in that town is all green and quiet, and it seemed like there were parks to play in everywhere! It's a big enough city that it has major name stores and restaurants but it's small enough that people are friendly. Four-season weather (instead of New Mexico's 2 months mild winter/10 months killer summer). I wouldn't want to live on a farm because it's too much work.
