There is always this dark cloud that hangs over February and it has nothing to do with winter weather! It is that ominous time when the books have to be finalized...gone over and gone over again. It is a time of unease... When doing better is celebrated but also has the propensity for biting you in the butt! It is a time of gathering paperwork... Looking for that document that you knew you were going to need now...but has mysteriously disappeared off the face of the earth since you got it in June! Doing 1099's and hating passing them out to those that worked so hard to help you better your bottom line. It is the month where you have to straighten up any messes that linger from the year before... Dot all your I's and cross all your t's... And hold your breath until the accountant announces...either you owe??? or you are getting back???? Whew... So glad that's over...time to get back to paintin' and Santa makin'..and next year's bottom line.
Oh! and for those of us who have kids in college it is also the time to fill out FAFSE :(( government forms to get financial aid for your student. These are based totally on your tax returns and will take another day of frustration to complete! There is no way Valentines Day can compensate for the negativity that tax time wreaks in February! Although the chocolate can be a help!
Thanks for following!
