Failing Miserably....

Well, my promise to myself to blog on a DAILY basis has definitely gone astray. As it stands now I am 10 days behind which equals 50 items I would need to catch up. While I am sure I can come up with 50 items that I am grateful for, it wouldn't be as genuine. I will instead list the first 10 that come to my mind from 3/17 to 3/25 (I plan on blogging at the end of the day tonight.)

1. Numerous offers for scholarships and grants for my son Danny's college.
2. Coaches that seem to genuinely care about my son and his academic career, not just as a player for the team.
3. The opportunity to apply for a position that I REALLY would like to get.
4. A positive note from the company I have already interviewed with expressing interest in me.
5. Some nice sunshiny days.
6. My Tulips pushing through the ground getting ready to fill my gardens with beautiful color.
7. My adorable puppy and her genuine, pure love for me when I walk in the door :)
8. My TAXES ARE DONE!!!!!
9. My FAFSA(s) are filed
10. MY TAXES ARE DONE!!!!:)

You have to understand... With me owning my own business and my husband being a self-employed entertainer, we have W-2's, W-3's, multiple 10-99's and the horrendous job of having to sort all the receipts, divvy up mileage amongst all the different accounts, etc... I first have to take care of all the business taxes before I can even start our personal taxes. I couldn't hand it over to an accountant if I wanted to until after I have that whole process accomplished. Once I have that all done and I get everything in order, I give it to my accountant to go over, make sure I am not forgetting anything, find deductions I might be missing, etc... and then pay him a lot to do so. It is the hardest non-paying position I have ever had. I have a great respect for anyone that willingly takes on this position as a career choice. I realize that a good acct. can make buku bucks, but you couldn't pay me enough....

That is all for now!
