Day 44 - February 24, 2009


Hold the show! My taxes are done! And it's not even March. Around here, it's kinda like the cobbler's kid - - everyone else's books and taxes get done, but I haven't opened a bank statement and reconciled to it in 18 months. Never fear, I do reconcile to the bank's website almost daily...so I guess that counts. However, I am the world's worst when it comes to organizing and taking care of our bookwork.

I hate tax time. It causes me such anxiety EVEN THOUGH I can predict the outcome within $100 bucks almost every time. I just know the dang IRS is gonna come after me for something. I also know I'll come out on top - but now I know first hand how much of a mess of things those auditors can make when they are doin' their thang. Having been through my first school audit, I know that I can survive, but I've also developed an aversion to the whole idea. :) I think I've mentioned it before, but dealing with the IRS ranks right around cleaning the horsetrailer with a toothbrush.

I had to do that once you know.

It sucked.

It wasn't my idea. Apparently, my Dad doesn't appreciate my breaking curfew and coming home under the influence. Even though I still maintain he was dead wrong about that part.

ya think maybe your dad just didn't want to clean the horse trailer because it was never like you to break curfew, right?
