Until next year...

So I'm proud to say I mailed our taxes out on April 12th, thank you very much. He had absolutely nothing to worry about. And, we're getting a pretty big refund. That will be nice because I think Mike may have quit his job today. : (

He's been unhappy for a while now. He was hired in September as the shop manager for a lawn mower repair shop. But except for the first month, he has never really been allowed to manage. (I think he did it then just because the owner didn't want to be a man and fire some people so he made Mike do it.) In fact, the owner constantly questions anything Mike's working on. We're beginning to wonder why he was hired in the first place. Each day he comes home more and more frustrated and stressed out. I can't blame him for wanting to leave, but I don't know what we'll do until he finds something else. I'm praying he'll get to work and choose to stick it out until something comes up. I won't know until I get home tonight.

Keep us in your prayers.

Taxes, anyone?

Am I the only one who hasn't gotten around to doing their taxes yet?

Mike is really on my case to get this done. I keep telling him not to worry--I WILL have them out the door by the 15th. But when you're working 11-12 hour days, then still driving 45 minutes home, cooking dinner, giving the dogs attention, etc, it's hard to remember to find what I need to finish them up!!!

I usually don't wait this long, but with moving and getting married, I haven't kept up with my Avon expenses like I should have. I've got 7 days, what's the hurry? : )

(I'm just full of excuses, aren't I?)
