Inspectors, Mortgages and the Digestive System

My focus this week has been all house stuff. Today we had the inspection on the house and all looks very good for a house that's 47 years old. The current owner has taken very good care of it. I spent much of the 4 hours at the houses picturing where each piece of furniture will go, what color I'll paint the walls, which cleaning project I'll tackle first, how we'll remodel the kitchen, what will plant man do with the back yard....ahh, the dreams of a new home owner. I'm not sure Tim realizes how many honey do projects he got assigned to him today. :-)

I've also been researching info on mortgages and all those numbers can make ones eye cross for good. Yikes! We plan on investing in some real estate properties so I'm trying to take my time and learn how mortagages work and how to decide which one is best for us. Soooo many choices but I'm digging through it piece by piece!

I had fun with my YMCA kids this week. The focus is still bacteria and fungus. This week we talked about helpful bacteria especially bacteria that helps us digest our food. We talked about the digestive system by reading a book called, "What Happens to a Hamburger?" and then recreating the process of digestion from one end to the other...ugh! Kids love icky science and so do I! :-) Next week is our last week and we'll talk about foods we eat that are bacteria and fungus and celebrate the end of the class with making pizza using yeast and mushrooms. Next session, I'll be teaching 2 sections of chemisty. Guess I'd better start planning those!
