Tax Season....

I know I have not posted here in awhile, so I have some catching up to do. As you can see by the title of this blog, this is the season of my life now and until April 15, 2009. This is my job, along with other related duties that being a bookkeeper/accountant does between January 1, 2009 and April 15, 2009. I will not have much of a life during this time and in fact, I am typing this as some documents are printing and it is 7:24am!!


We have had some great things going on in our family, one of which is that we are going to be grandparents again!! I LOVE being a grandma. it is just the best. My youngest son and wife, who just got married in Oct are expecting in September. They were so excited to tell us, which is good, but this is going to be a long pregnancy. This grandchild will be the first Great-Grandchild on both sides of son's family. His Dad's parents have no great-grandkids and my Mom does not either. We are all thrilled.


The other big thing that has happened since Christmas is our office has moved. We had been in the same place for several years and about 3 years ago, we got new landlords. What we thought was a good thing turned out to be not so good. They did not doing any upkeep on the property, no landscaping and the biggest thing was no security. I came to work one morning in early December at 7am and the front door to the building was standing wide open. Hubby was with me, so he went in first (what a guy!). No one had broke in, they just didn't lock the door the night before. so anyhow, now we are in a brand new space, built just for us. Not the whole building was built for us, just the office space. We have new beautiful surroundings and we all love it. I have new furniture that is very nice and has lots of desk space. All of the wall colors and carpet was picked out by our team and we are very happy now. Moving an office is lots of work, but it was all worth it.


Hubby had the flu last weekend and was very sick. He is so much better now. I stayed away from him so I would not get it and so far so good. I have only had the flu, knock on wood, one time in my life. It was terrible!! I try very hard to be healthy during tax season.


well, it is time to get back to the work at hand. I will try to keep up with the blog better and let you in on some of my small thought during this long season of taxes, cold and snow!!
