Taxes

So I meet with the accountant on Monday…I know no one will want to read this blog…I wouldn’t!  I cringe at the thought of paying taxes, talking about them or even thinking of them.  But if you are feeling brave and can lend a buddy an ear…I am venting.

 

So I just put off and put off tax day.  Always have.  Usually file an extention…no fun.  But this year, even though it is right around the corner, I have an appointment and am getting my stuff together.  But it is soooo uncomfortable.  I am not good at organizing all the junk we have to take care and so I am looking and searching.  I know there has to be an easier way.

 But the payoff this year is that I could get financial aid for school.  And we need it.  So I am doing the hard work and pushing past my block.  Just writing about it is helpful.

And I like our new accountant.  She is understanding and wants to work with us. We have had an out of town accountant.  And that is just difficult. 

ANyway, for those who read this, thanks for listening.  I feel less like I am cowering in a corner.

 

Maybe that means I am making a change of how I do things.  Perhaps next year I can be on top of things with no prob.  That would definately be nice.  I will dream on that.

    When at the Beyonce concert a few weeks ago and Obama came up on the screen I just screamed! Change is wonderful no matter how hard it is. Oh oh, maybe I am feeling it in me….to make some changes? ;) *sigh* Thanks for sharing your strength. No more procrastinating for me. *hugs*

    Have a great week Rae!

    THis may be really silly to leave a reply for myself, but I am feeling really proud of how I handled the tax thing. I think I will end up saving us a bit of money, getting things taken care of properly and in time and maybe getting help with school this summer. I hope that next year, I can take this feeling of accomplishment and use it to motivate me sooner. I get points and pats of the back. Yay me!
