A New Year

So, today is the first day of the 2010 tax season and I'm already tired. Why you ask could I be tired already? Probably because of the little one growing in my belly. After 12 years of togetherness and one 11 year old child, my husband and I have decided to add another board gamer to our home. We are both 32 and had our first child when we were 20. But my hubby wants to have a girl more than anything, so here we go again. He has decided that if it's not a girl, then we're giving it away. Any takers? First come, first serve. Just kidding, I guess we'll keep it no matter what.

Jeremy, the son we have already, is fantastic. He often makes me laugh just like his dad does. He has also been asking for a little brother or sister for years now. The due date is just before his birthday, so no presents for you son, here's a baby that will cry a lot and keep you from sleeping. Happy Birthday!

So, back to tax season. I am a CPA in Fredericksburg, VA. I love my job. I love the challenging work, as well as, the various clients I work with. Right now I am reconciling the fact that today starts 45 hour work weeks, that turn into 50 hour work weeks, that then turn into 55 hour work weeks. And then those weeks turn into, work-however-much-you-have-to-to-get-returns-out-the-door weeks. Ahhhh, good times they are. I'm interested to see what this year will be like as I have not been knocked up during tax season before. I'm sure it will be a different experience than I have had before.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll be back soon to shed some more light on why we decided to start over and why, right now, we're loving it!
