Moving

Friday, May 29, 2015

   Did I mention we bought a house? We did. It was the split level I liked, which I mentioned in an earlier post. Now the time issue regarding student loans, has changed some. First it was pushed back to September 15, instead of June, and it might not have affected me, since I had an established payment. So a little part of me is like darn! we could have gotten something new and better with more time to look. But I suppose I'd drive myself better thinking like that (there will ALWAYS be missed opportunity), and I like the house.



   Today I will be busy finalizing summer school plans. I am going to have an intern from MSU, which on the one hand will be nice, but on the other, I wanna do it myself, wah. Anyway. I need to have everything organized and ready for the going-into-kindergarteners on Monday. I am excited! We are going to be trying out the new technologies for math and reading (basically, they will be working on software in each up to 30 minutes a day, each), and also doing a fun thing called-oh, I don't remember, but basically, you give them materials (and possibly a project or problem to solve), and they get to find a creative way to make something on their own. It's supposed to trial and error. It sounds like a great idea to me. The only thing I didn't like was during the training  we were working in groups of four, and I really felt I could do better work if I could just take the materials to my corner and work on them, and then share with the group. I needed time to actually touch and manipulate the materials, and I couldn't do that with the group. So I will let them work individually if they choose, and then have them share the results. I think the hard part will be not just letting it turn into arts and crafts.

   We plan to move the big furniture out tomorrow, but we won't have cable moved over until Tuesday. That is going to be unpleasant. It'll be like 1994 without any internet. I used to read a lot more. I personally will be too busy to care too much, but the kids'll be bored. 

   I'll post pics, soon.



Still Waiting

Monday, May 4, 2015

We have to provide some more information. This makes sense, since we closed a CD and put it in the bank account to pay bills down. However on our statements and online it just says, "Deposit." We are unable to show where it came from. The bank wrote in the CD and the number of the CD and notorized it, but was unable to print something that said it was from a CD. Hopefully that will work. Now that we are getting closer to closing date, I am getting a little nervous. It's only 2.5 weeks away, and we aren't sure yet?

I also let Taryn look in the windows and drove Caleb by, so I feel like more people would be involved if it results in a disappointment.

I am trying to be all zen about it, you know, "If it's meant to be it will be. Otherwise, something better is waiting."

But the law on student loans and home loans is changing supposedly (and it's not in my favor-if it does it will hurt the market), and I am  up at 3 a.m. stressing, so I don't know how well the zen thing is working.

And I feel sick.
