Done!

Tax season is over! It was fun (sick, I know) but I am glad it is over. The last couple of nights before the deadline I was up till 2-3 am so I actually took a nap yesterday. Wonderful! The only problem was that between the nap & thinking about the activity for Young Womens next week (it is going to be SO fun!), I didn't fall asleep very quickly. Today, even though I really wanted a nap, I didn't take one and hope to get to sleep early. That always feels better anyway.

I mopped my kitchen floor today and am SO HAPPY to have a clean floor! I won't tell when the last time was that I cleaned it. It was the first thing to go when I was spending my nap times & evening/nights working. I dusted & vacuumed the living room & bedrooms yesterday, including wiping down the couches, and will give the bathroom a much needed scrubbing this afternoon. The bathroom hasn't been cleaned since Jordan did it a couple weeks ago. Gross! I love a clean house and the only time I can deal with it being messy & dirty is when I don't have the time or energy to clean it. Other things like cooking dinner & doing laundry take priority. We must eat & have clothes to wear - plus McKay loves helping with the laundry. One thing I must say though is that we never missed a library story time or reading to McKay. He loves it!

This situation I have is really perfect & wonderful. I get to be home with my little sweetie (and my bigger little sweetie) and I also get to do taxes and associate with people who are also sick like me and like doing taxes. It is nice to be appreciated & feel like you are really good at something. I was asked (jokingly of course) if I would move back to Utah for next tax season. :)

Now I will go back to working a few days a week and to free Saturdays to go to new places and to revisit places we love. McKay and I will walk to the park everyday and Jordan and I will do our best to show McKay all the wonderful creations of our Heavenly Father - we'll try to make a dent anyway. We have a lot of fun things planned for this summer - it will be a summer of nothing but fun fun fun, so look out - it won't be too hard to beat my blogging track record for the first 4 months of the year though. It never is. And come next January, I will be itching to get back into doing lotsa taxes again! Love it!

One More Month!

April 15th is a big day this year. Not only is it the tax deadline, but it is also Jordan's last day of classes (his heart is breaking, trust me). We are both looking forward to the changes our family will experience beginning that day. I love working but I don't like missing out on what my sweet baby is doing - and he is growing up and changing so fast! Working part time worked well but full time has been hard (yes 46 hours this week! - the most since I had McKay in July). The way tax season has gone so far, the worst is definitely yet to come. Good thing I love doing taxes!
