Little of This and a Little of That

Sorry about not blogging much lately. I really haven't had much to say and quite frankly I don't have much to say now either.
School is going well. We have a bunch of great kids. Probably the best group of 6th graders since I've been working at the school. I started my reading class this week. Since the kids are so compliant and easy going we are covering a lot of material each day. Last year it was very much the opposite. I spent most of my time policing the kids and little time with the reading. I was beginning to wonder if I was cut out for this kind of thing. Funny how different groups of kids and personalities make you question your career and sanity.
We've recently made a big change in churches. It was a really hard decision. Girl child and I were just not happy in our old church. The people were nice and friendly but I sure didn't really connect with people there. Girl child got frustrated with the lack of other girls in the Youth group her age and with those who were younger being so 'clickish'. Hubby was very very involved in the church and boychild had a few 'friends'. The transition was much harder on them. I really love the church we are at now and have already connected with many of the women there. Girlchild likes the new Youth group a lot, boychild is NOT adjusting well but he will and is doing better. Hubby is loving the new church too so it is all good. The only thing now is people in the old church are now finding out that we 'left' and are trying to find out why. I don't want to say that girlchild and I just didn't like it there so we are trying to be diplomatic about it.
In other news...we are refinancing our mortgage. Crazy isn't it? With all that is going on in the financial world and all. BUT it is because things went nuts that refinancing will work for us. We are consolidating our first and second mortgage AND paying off our credit card. By doing that we will SAVE $350 a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND be 'debt' free, not including the house of course but that is a necessary debt unlike credit cards. We will now be able to build our savings account and not rely on credit cards to fix whatever breaks. Man it feels so good to get this fresh start. I feel like I can breath again.
Outside of that life goes on. I wake up, go to work, come home, go to bed and start all over again. That is why I haven't blogged much nothing really to say. I guess it is time to do some MeMe's or Question of the days. That way you all wont go too long without hearing from me :)
