Cupcakes and Anxiety
Nice combination, eh?
Tonight the kids and I made up a batch of cupcakes. I was inspired by the ones that Oprah had on her show. I had to dive through the grocery store shelves to find the last of the old Duncan Hines mixes, because they were milk-free. For whatever reason, Duncan Hines decided that they just absolutely must add milk to all of their mixes, and I’m devastated. They were the only brand that I could buy if I needed a quick mix cake. Boohoo. Luckily I was able to grab a bunch today, but now I’m going to have to do something similar to Elaine on the “sponge-worthy” Seinfeld episode. 
I’m not truly having anxiety, although I am uneasy as our life is moving in unexpected directions. My dh is looking for a new job. He and his current employer had initially decided that he would work for them from home until it was no longer working for them. Well, its no longer working. He’s looking for a new job and they’re looking for a replacement. Everyone has been open and up-front, which is good, but it is still stressful. He has applied for a few positions that look really good. Please pray for us if you have some spare time. We’d really appreciate it. He’s worked for this company since the day that he graduated college, so this is our first time in this position. No horror stories, please!
In other sad news, dh and I went skiing/snowboarding (that was the good part) and while he was skating (meaning he only had one foot strapped in), he somehow managed to twist his knee pretty badly. He injured his MCL and probably his ACL as well. He has an MRI tomorrow to see if he need surgery. Poor guy. Snowboarding is his release. That’s how he relaxes. Now it looks like he’s sidelined for the rest of the year. We had no idea it was this bad. He even came down the mountain after he injured it and was going up in the tree sections and doing jumps. I think we were both pretty shocked when it started swelling and then when the sports doctor said how bad it was.
I hope to update more often. The combination of starting school, looking for a new job with dh, and his possible upcoming surgery have been keeping us pretty wrapped up.
Oh, and one last thing… my kids won the lottery to get in to our local Charlotte Mason / classical school. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I really think I want to homeschool, and I thought they’d never get in, and that would be confirmation. Now I’m really unsure. I guess I better wait until we find out whether or not we’re moving for a new job before I make any real plans, but still…
