Six Word Saturday (3/12/11)

A bunch of little things today

My husband has gone to his mechanic friend's garage every Friday night for a few hours since I've known him, but last night was one of the rare occasions where his friend couldn't do it so my husband "had" to stay home (oh, the torture, huh, spending time with us instead!).  He and my daughter like watching Cupcake Wars on the Food network so they decided to make a few cupcakes.  Here's me with the one she made for me: 

My husband has been intensely worried about money and it feels ridiculous because it's not like we're behind on bills, etc.  He has a good job.  My work dwindles down to almost nothing from the end of October to the end of March, so I feel guilty spending ANY money already, and then he starts fretting about other money things that I can't even help with.  I've been having my bible study group pray for either more work for me or even a part-time job in a different industry altogether.  Last night he told me that the community college where he teaches part-time on top of his regular job is scheduling him to teach TWO classes this fall!  So that is an amazing answer to prayer.

And the last little thing .. my oldest son and college don't mix very well.  He failed a couple classes last semester and he just isn't happy having to study.  He is more athletic and likes to DO things and not read things.  He was trying to get a four-year degree so he could enter the Marines as an officer, but he's not going to make it through college.  After talking to some friends who are already enlisted, he decided to enlist in the Air Force.  (The people I've talked to actually told me that the Air Force is kind of hard to get into because you have to pass tests and stuff, so I'm happily surprised my son was able to enlist!)  He told me earlier this week that he heard from the Air Force as far as his ship out date for basic training.  April 13th.  I was kind of hoping it would be this summer so I'm a little bit shocked.  But I am SO HAPPY he's going to be doing something he loves.
