Cleaning is Still Therapuetic, So is Money

January25

Last night, I did the bathroom cabinets. Yeah, I took a picture, but I’m not putting it here, LOL. You can find it on DigiCass. I’m pretty sure I need to go through again and throw away yet more stuff. Or at least organize it a bit better. I seem to have accumulated a bunch of partial bottles of shampoo and conditioner, plus 4 full bottles of infusium23. and 5 containers of gel. And then there is the stuff I actually use. I could have a hair party for the whole town with all the stuff I found crammed in those cabinets!

I think tonight I will start on the taxes. As always we are in a financial pickle, and since it takes a full three months to get a refund because of the extra paperwork we have to fill out, sooner would be better than later. Of course, the fact that more than one of the companies I have worked for have asked for my tax info this week (note that “this week” means on or after the date 1099s should have gone out!!!), I am not real confident that I’ll finish up before January 31st, which is my personal yearly goal. Lord, I do hope to one day be in a financial position that doesn’t require me waiting for the federal government to return their yearly stealings to keep my children clothed and housed. Amen.

If I don’t start the taxes tonight, I will work on my room, instead. It looks like the clothing department of the entire mall exploded in there, except that I don’t shop at the mall, except under dire emergency because it costs too much. It’s just that saying the ladies department of Wal-mart doesn’t pack as much of a mental image, yk?.

    Sorry Dear, but those sending 1099’s and W2’s have until Jan 31 to have them postmarked.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
