Sometimes life can really beat you up. The more you try to do things the right way, the more frustrated you get when all around you falls apart.
Okay, let's put things in the first person now. What has been happening with me lately that has me in a frazzle, you ask?
Well, first and foremost is TAXES! I was dumbfounded to have my business license renewal form come back stamped 'forfeited Oct 2018'. Seems my simple assessment taxes were not filed in 2017 but were filed in 2018 ... so really? SERIOUSLY?
I have always had total faith in my tax guy - but when he refused to return my calls or emails when I reached out for HELP and REASON as to why he hadn't filed this when he was supposed to have filed it - I lost that faith. All I needed was "I'm working on it," or "I'm sorry - we will get this taken care of" but nah, nothing. I talked to his wife 2X and his secretary 2X and was promised a phone conference with him on Wednesday of last week but... NOTHING. (oh, and as a side note: shortly after I sent him an email titled: I will no longer need your services - He writes back - making it sound like I was impatient. what?! Very disappointed in him).
So on Friday I met with a new CPA and we spent a couple of hours filing what we needed to file and talking about what needed to be done next in order to get my business license reinstated etc. Oh, the red tape!!! Today it was here and there and everywhere trying to get answers and the correct thing to do. One person says one thing, another says just the opposite ... and it seems nobody really knows what the correct steps are.
I will do my best to follow the procedure that I at this time understand to be the correct one, and I will write out some more checks. Then I will cross my fingers and hope for the best, because that is where I am with this mess.
*sigh*
All other irritations are secondary to this one at this point so I will stop there. It's no wonder I escape to camp and nature and serenity each chance I get.
*Getting *Too *Old *For *This *Aggrevation !!!!

How Did I Live Without It?
Hello everyone! I'm back for my weekly post (I've made Monday my day for bill paying and blog posting)
It's looking like spring here and I am loving it!
This past week we celebrated 2 birthdays. Grand-Angel #1 turned 12 and we had movie night and an extended version of Easter with an egg hunt for Grand-Angel #4 who could not be here on Easter. Oh, and did I mention I turned 64 a day later? Yah.
There's a lot of drama going on here - business related and other - but I wish to speak life into all and focus strictly on the good stuff. And speaking of good stuff - look at these beautiful faces. God's love is just bursting out all over!!!
My birthday gifts included some wonderful scented candles, a heart felt personal journal, getting my car detailed, visits from the above angels AND....
A shirt I don't know how I lived without!!

RESURRECTION SUNDAY
I cannot begin to imagine God's pain to watch His Son suffer on the cross and then die. I understand that He knew He'd be in heaven with him once he had breathed his last earthly breath. But still. It hurts to watch those you love suffer.
Yesterday we rejoiced in the fact that Jesus had risen and because of that (though we may see a lot of pain and suffering in our families today) we will share a perfect life with those we love and who share our love for God - one day in Paradise.
I don't know about you, but after being beaten down by this fallen world of deception, and bad news, I am so looking forward to that day!!!!
Yesterday was filled with chaos, hope, fun, beauty, good food, surprises, and lots and lots of love.
These kids!!! Be still my heart!!
I hope they always hold these special memories in their hearts....
Dear Diary,
I went on an Easter egg hunt and found an egg with beef jerky inside. Dad had to help me open it. I tried for the chocolate filled eggs but Mom
I hope everyone had a fun filled, lovely, BLESSED Easter!
