Look at Rosie's coffee. . . what's missing?  Cream!  I am drinking black coffee this morning.  I don't like black coffee.  I like extra creamy coffee.  Not a good way to start the week.

I promised you all that I would update you on my 2 weeks of being MIA.  It really was an eventful 2 weeks, so I'm going to give you a quick outline:

1.  I gave my notice at work.

2.  I was offered a job working part time in the office at church.

3.  I accepted the job at church.  I start May 2nd.

4.  We lost all 5 kitty's. . . for 1 week.  We found them this past Friday.  Mama cat moved them.

5.  Katie and Matt are over.  He broke it off with her. 

6.  Katie and Mike are back on.  He is treating her very well and has been perfect so far.  The saga continues. . .

7.  Wes is moving out as soon as school is out in 3 weeks.  He plans to go to community college over the summer in B'town.

That about wraps it up!  I am really excited about my job.  I will be working 12:30 to 5:00 Monday through Thursday and have every Friday off.  I will be the afternoon receptionist at the front desk.  My other duties will be in the creative field.  I will be creating large posters for every upcoming activity and social event (all done by computer and printed on a bulletin board sized printer) also I will be incharge of producing the Sunday bulletin and weekly church newsletter (we have over 3000 members).  So, I will be very busy, but putting my creative side to use and working with many of my church friends I am sure that I'll be happy as a clam. We have a very large staff and I know them all, and believe it or not I haven't found 1 that I don't like.

Everything is going okay on the homefront.  Robert is really busy at the farm.  He has lost some employees recently and trying to do everything with a skeleton crew is driving him nuts.  Two of his fellow growers in his company are starting to pick (tomatoes) this week, so he is going to have to send just about all of his people down to help with the harvest.  That will pretty much leave him to single handedly take care of his 500 acres of tomatoes.  Let's just say he is a little stressed out.  We had a bad storm the night before last and it made a mess on the farm, so he didn't have any time off this weekend.  Well, I am slacking off on my barnyard manager duties this morning.  I am sure the animals will let me know when I get out there how they feel about waiting till after 9:00 to eat!  Hope you all have a good one!

Sounds like your new job will be a fun one.  I'm surprised to hear about Katie and Matt.  Maybe this was a good wake up call for Mike and he will now be on his best behavior.  
Wow...and then you have you son moving out soon.  
A lot going on at your house!!  Lots of work!!
