Dial Up's Not So Bad After All

Well in an effort to save some monthly cash I downgraded our internet yesterday from DSL to dial up.  I was incredibly unsure about this-- when we had dial up before it was soooo slow and I've become very used to the speedy DSL connection.  Well I went ahead and took a chance (knowing I could reverse it if dialing up was just "too much" lol) and dh and I have both been very pleased with the change-- not only is it $22 cheaper per month (WOW!!) it is actually A LOT faster than we remember.  I mean we do have to dial up and we do have to wait a few seconds for pages to load but it really isn't that big of a deal honestly.  Woo hoo! Cash savings! I am having my monthly pity party which I think is brought on by PMS hormones surging-- it is getting really comical.  Once a month I am convinced that no one likes me, every one hates me and in fact everyone is out to drive me crazy.  Well not everyone-- just my family and friends This all started right around when I turned 30 last yeart-- I turned 31 very recently and finally I starting to see the connection and realize that no, not everyone is changing their attitude on me-- it's me, it's definitely definitely me.  My husband had an interview for a new position this morning-- can't wait to hear the results!  Home school is rocking and rolling-- Jasmine's handwriting is improving and she did her first book report yesterday on an Amelia Bedelia book.  Camille is mostly playing but I am having her focus in on learning one letter each day-- starting with the letters of her name.  Well lots to do, have to run!

It's a good practice to try and eliminate some things and save some money here and there. We recently adjusted our electricy in this way, we used pay more for daytime usage but less if we consume more in the evening but it was not working the way it was supposed to so we changed back. I'm sure our bill will be a lot less now! LOL Have fun homeschooling! Cathy :o)
