What I should be doing today..

I am sitting at work, I should be stapling weight tags to invoices ( I am like a year behind on this duty), or entering data into Quickbooks, or the dreaded packing up of files. I might not have a job after this month, granted it will probably take until the end of June to take care of everything. But the boss does not think that is it looking good that the co-op is going to continue, he said Monday that it would be a good idea to start packing up the prior years into boxes, so that way it would be easier and faster to move to storage (where ever that it going to be!!) when it comes time.

So yeah that is what I should be doing, what am I doing instead??? Just got done playing on Facebook! Checked on my zoo, my farm, and played some bingo, even won a game!!! came reallly close on another couple of games.

Now I am going to go and check on the Pioneer Woman and see what it up over there and then get started on an assingment for college that is due tomorrow. I have been exhausted in the evenings and have not had time to start typing it up.

Hasta for now!!!

Thought for Wednesday May 5, 2010

Too much fabric softner in the laundered clothes makes my nose tingle, and not in a good way...

There was so much in the washer last night that I could smell it in the hallway, thought it was my nephew washing his clothes. Come to find out it was my lovely women. Love her, but don't love clothes to are too fuufuu-y smelling.

Blessings!!

Oh Happy Day!!

I would have to say that the days where I make my ex husband mad are good days, because I always come out in the end feeling better!! I am not sure why, but I do...

Take this weekend for instance, I was paying bills and realizing that money was going to be tight. Having a 12 1/2 year old who likes to have food, games, food, clothes, house, gas for vehilce, food.. did I mention food?? I hope that he is on the edge of a growth spurt, because it is hard to keep his belly full. Anyway, yes money belt is tight. So I put a status on facebook about how I was feeling. Granted I have said things before about child support not coming in, and if you ask around I am really leinent with my ex.

But this time he was not happy, not happy at all that I was telling his business on facebook. According to him he is paid up,, hhmmm.. how can that be?? He is supposed to pay monthly 18% of his wages no less than $100.. yeah!! he got off really easy on this one!! $100 per month!!! I have not received "monthly" payments since March 2009, so 13 months ago.

In Ocotber 2009 he filed his taxes for 2008 (by the way he owns his own business), he tells me that IRS sent him a letter and that $xxx amount of dollars is going to be coming to support Kenny... Ok, so we have been through this before, it takes 6 months!! If you ask the IRS they release it at the same time as the rest of his taxes were paid to him.. he got his tax refund in December 2009. It has been a few years and I cannot remember if it is 6 months from the time of filed or the time of his refund.. but I am thinking that it is the later, because April has come and gone and no taxes/child support. So it might come in June.. not holding me breath!! Stopped expecting child support long, long, long, time ago....

Oh and then he filed his 2009 taxes in (I think) February 2010, so six months will be??? August.. I am not sure when he recieved his part of refund so who knows how long this one will take.

But see this is how he gets away with telling me he has made two payments!! TWO?? In thirteen months??? 2!! Monthly it should be 13!! but he made 2!! And he says that he called and "they" told him he is all paid up.. hhmmm... He filed taxes in Ocotber 09 and Feb 10.. this in now May 2010,, so lets not count May as it just started,, so March and April.. right there is two months, so how can he be all paid up???? It does not sound right!

Oh, I also told him that having your taxes garnished and actually paying support on a monthly consistent basis are two different things.

Oh to go back to when this happened before, the IRS says they had sent the money, the Child Support division says that they have not recieved any. We (yep him and me) spent weeks on the phone before and even was told by the Child Support office ladies to stop calling.. hhmm..

So anyway, there is my rant for the day/weekend... Thanks for listening.. =) Oh Happy Day!!!

Oh and now to end with a picture we took uptown today....

Saving for my own accounting business

One of the ways that I plan on saving money to open my own business, it to have it visually sitting there - where I can see it every day - every payday- everytime I want to squander money.... the pig is there!! HAHAHAHA

Before Customizing






After customizing!!

Reflecition for the day....

When sitting in front of computer and reading.. it is better to busy thy hands with thinking putty, then with Jelly Belly's..

I love Jelly Belly's but I find myself eating way toooo many... so I decided to dig out my thinking putty, to keep my hands busy, and it works!!! Not only that, it is exercising my arm muscle's too!!

Whoo-hoo!

Pet Peeve!!

The current pet peeve -

- When someone makes a statement and you don't know what the heck they could be talking about!

My son just walked in the dining room/my office.. and said "Nothing else is running"

???? "What?" I ask him. I am thinking - Sure could use more information!!

He says that there is no other water running in the house, but he still does not have any hot water. Oh, Ok!!

The situation - My dad, my son and the two dogs when up in the mountains/canyon this afternoon. The dogs and the kid came back muddy and stinky! So the dogs got bathed and then the kid was going to get in the shower.

While he was bathing dogs the hot water ran out.

They came out to ask if I took a shower or anything.. told them nope.

So dad checked the water heater - sure'nuf - the fire went out. He said that it took awhile to light back up.

So when my son comes out and says that the shower has been running and that there still is not any hot water.... hhhmmmm... well lets see - TURN OFF THE SHOWER!!!

So I tell him to turn of the water and let the hot water heater fill up and WORK!!!

Told him to give it about 30 minutes!

aaauuuggghhh!!

Now back to college assignment's... ggrrr have 2 assignment's due on Friday in a subject that I am still learning.. How am I going to get an A???? Try my darnest!! that is how.. if I don't get an A on first assignment just have to make sure all others are an A! hehe
