I don't think I have ever been so happy. Life is so good. I start a new, well paying job in a week, I've got a family that I adore and that adores me and my house is so much my home that I could die a happy woman right about now. Except I'm not ready to die just yet. Ra has got to get through college first.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. They were heart felt and I appreciated them all. So, thank you.

I'm making a Yankee Pot Roast today with smashed potatoes and green beans. A nice comforting meal that we all so deserve.

I start training my replacement at the store tomorrow. I sat in on his interview and I have to tell you the guy is a little pushy. I'll have to drop him back down to earth tomorrow and teach him well. I've spent two years making that dairy a money making thing in the store and he has to trust the numbers I've put into play and relax and enjoy. Pushy people I feel, are a bit dishonest and that scares me a bit but I have to let go and move on. I'm having a hard time letting go. I didn't want to leave the job and they don't want me to go but I need more money in today's economy to make ends meet and they didn't offer me anymore money so I have to move on.

It's family time so have a great day all and enjoy your families today.

Happy Cooking,
Sum
