Tough decisions bring unseen blessings

Well, it has sure been interesting the last couple of weeks. We had a tough decision to make a short time back. Our car has been having trouble off and on, which leaves me to drive the van (an old ambulance). It cost me $40-80 a week, just to drive my little boy to school and back. I sat with the hubby, and tried to see how I could make the budget work , so he would not have to change schools until the next year. It just was not possible. We sat with him and explained that he would have to change schools. I think I was more upset than he was. He switched at the beginning of the month, and things have just gone on from there. The new class he is in, is not a split class, and this school has a teacher that just focuses on reading with students who are struggling. She doesn't really have room for him, but there are a lot of students who are away for various reasons. In just a couple of weeks his reading has improved so much, that it is like night and day. He is writing and spelling better already, too. I can not hardly belive the change. If we had stayed in our other home, or let him finish the year there, he might have just continued to struggle. Now he has the opportunity to get the extra support that seems to be needed, when one is almost a year younger than some of his classmates.
