As if I didn't have enough to do already! Four kids and a business keep me busy enough...but hey, why not go ahead and write some things down?!
I got to bed last night at 1am and up today at 7am...exercised and now on my way to take care of some business for the business.
Paperwork!!! Going paperless does save money...but still when you have to keep records of everything I feel like I'm buried under a tall oak tree sitting at my desk! As I reach under a pile and feel for the mouse, turning a fan on to blow the papers away from my computer screen, so I can save some trees and make all those payments online...but then have to print the confirmation just in case the IRS wants to take a look at my last 10yrs of records! Of course, being an organized person, I can only stand it for so long before I have to get a babysitter and start actually filing all this mess away. Nothing like trying to concentrate on adding, subtracting, and filing with "Mom, I have to go to the bathroom!", "Mom, I'm hungry!", "Mom, can we watch a different movie?", "Mom, I'm hungry!!!" ringing in your ear! Let's not forget all the phone calls that have to be made. Making sure I have all the kids settled with bathroom runs, a movie, and lots of food... after I go through 10 different menus, and wait on hold for another 10 minutes, I finally get to talk to an actual human being only to have, without fail, the kids break out into a fight right in my other ear!
Aahhh, to find a balance in life! I guess that is my biggest challenge at this stage in my life. The biggest thing I want is to make sure that I put the right priorities in the right place. And since blogging wasn't on the agenda for today, I better run and go get my paperwork done........
