:::Crawling out of the tax cave:::

Ugh - 67 hours later, I'm putting an end to the work week.  What a week!  Soooo many lows and not many highs.  I'm seriously hating my job right now.  BUT IT PROVIDES A STEADY PAYCHECK.  It sucks that my check is the only consistent money we have coming in right now.  I am in charge of the 1099s for the firm.  Last year, they sent out over 800 forms.  This year, we have only prepared about 500.  BUT trying to keep track of 365 clients and where their 1099 information is has been so stressful!  Trying to organize all the information that is mailed, emailed or phoned in is almost an impossible task. 

BUT I'm trying really hard to focus on my blessings, instead of my woes.  THAT is what I've been repeating to myself all week.  I HAVE been able to spend time in the evenings with Ladik here at the office.  He has been coming here after daycare for a couple hours.  He has been such a trooper!  His hugs, smiles, giggles and kisses are priceless.  THAT is what is keeping me going. 

For the next 10 weeks, this is going to be my life.  My weekly budgeted hours for the next 10 weeks is 72 hours per week.  NOT GONNA HAPPEN!  Ugh, I'm so exhausted already.  There is no way I can work 10 hours a day for 7 days a week or 12 hours a day for 6 days.  No way! 

This is my 10th tax season... something to celebrate... as long as I survive...
