Taxes.

I have been unbelievably busy the past three weeks, yesterday morning I thought my head was about to explode - seriously! I'm now onto my latest task and that's taxes. Ugggh. Oh how I hate them so. We own our own business so the process is so much more taxing - LOL! (Sorry couldn't resist). Here's what it looked like last year about this time:

This year the messy part is a bit less - why that is I don't know but I'm thankful for it. We have a home office and I'm sure your wondering why I would be working in our family room and kitchen. I spend 90% of my waking time in our home office. The first step (and it's a time consuming one!) is sorting receipts and compiling data. I use this time to actually sit in front of the TV and watch movie marathons and fun shows. I worked all weekend sorting and was able to watch Drumline, Celestine Prophecy, Cribs (really love that show), some movie with Meg Ryan and Matthew Brodderick and parts of many other shows. Usually TBS is very good for days like this. I generally keep that station on when I'm scrapbooking (something by the way I haven't done in a LONG TIME). The boys (dh included) are very accomodating because I tend to get a bit crabby at times when doing this process. Luckily this weekend was beautiful and they worked in the yard and the garage most of the time. When they were inside they just went to other parts of the house.

I'm fast tracking taxes this year. It usually takes me over a week to complete the whole process. This week I'm trying to do it under a week. My list of TO DO's is very long and everything is a priority so I must finish this asap. I'm on the tailend of the sorting/compiling process - it appears it's going to take about 3 1/2 days to complete. I will then move to the home office and begin the input, praying all the way that we don't owe more then I have saved. I'm sure God gets a lot of extra attention this time of year!

I'll leave you with one last picture - it's of one of my helpers. Again this was last year but she isn't far from me again this year.

Isn't she so cute?! I just love my Zoe.
