Tax Day!

Aaaaghh.....

That means the federal and state income tax returns are due to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) today.

Now, I'm NO accountant but I have had extensive tax filing experience....(in a past life).... So I filed our state returns via e-file....then I filed the federal returns to be "snail mailed" to the IRS.

I'm sure some people file on the deadline date because they own...... that is NOT me.
I think I do it for the adrenaline, the craziness, the insanity.... maybe that makes me an edgy mom! (maybe not)
But it's fun.
I THINK sometimes you have to invent fun events to make a normally unhappy or un-fun thing...... funner
(I know--funner is NOT a word)


Whatever it is...... everything went perfectly smooth.
The downtown post office stayed open 'til midnight in order to personally postmark the envelopes. As I rolled in at approximately 9:45p......I was not alone.... there was a super long, super efficient, super quick drive through line outside the post office.
It was quicker than if I would've come in earlier to the post office, parked and stood in line......

The postal workers were outside under plenty of spot lights.....happily stamping the envelopes as quick as they came in.
On tables beside them were the postal date maker, bins for the letters, coffee and donuts!!!
What a sight......everyone was happy and smiling.
Even the local news crew was there.... I didn't get back home in time to check the local news to see if our lil' van was seen driving through but Nana thinks she did.
Nana's staying with us.... she stayed home with the girls (as Bam and I went to P.O.)
Uncle Ahsker also stopped by for a visit.... seems we should've had a tax day party tonight with so many visitors..... because of course that would've been "FUNNER."   (hahaha...)

not just for babies....

Do you know what this stuff is???

It's Ella's Kitchen organic pureed pouches of fruits and veggies.

This stuff is amazing!!

This is basically what I've been surviving on since the burning inferno in my throat began.

Baby food is the only thing that will slide down my super tender throat.

It's a nice break from apple sauce, mashed potatoes and much cheaper than Odwalla juice drinks.

This stuff is good too, very flavorful and delightful.

No artificial flavors, no artificial fillers, its gluten-free and organic

and affordably priced.

They offer fun flavorful concoctions with a mix of fruits and veggies.

Cookie and Sweetheart are enjoying them too and even Bam and Fifi enjoyed a pouch or two. (or more)

I think even after my illness is gone, we will continue to buy these little guys.

(if you buy apple sauce, then you MUST try this)

Excellent!
