Holy School Supplies Batman!

What in the WORLD am I going to do when I have THREE kids in school....

Is it just me, or does everyone think that a swanky job would be public school administration? I mean, come ON... that MUST be where the tax money goes... since it isn't getting to the teachers....  

Now, as to why that same tax money can't buy copy paper for the copying machine or tissues (which I don't even keep around my own home.... TP anyone?) for the classrooms gets kind of frustrating.

I mean, sheesh, here pretty quick the Tax cuts from several years ago will expire and most likely we will end up with new taxes to try to balance the national budget. I don't know where I'm going to get the money for supplying the whole school with office supplies!

Ohhhhhh the Taxmaaaaaaan.....

Taxes = done. HOORAY!!!!

I love it when I can get them done "early" 'cause then I can promptly forget about them again till next year and focus on my little deductibles more. :)

FYI

There is a local Tea Party here in town and for those of you that may be interested I thought I would post the info here.

This is a protest about the amount of money the government is currently spending (perfect for tax day isn't it?). For me, it's about not only the amount they are spending, but about the lack of deliberate representation our officials are giving their constituents on not only taxes, but on everything else as well.

It seems that as soon as many politicians get into office (no matter which party they belong to, it happens in both) they decided it is then time to forget campaign promises and what is right for the people they represent, and that it is now time to only look out for #1 and their own political agendas and careers. I'm tired of it as I'm sure just about anyone that keeps up with politics is.

This protest is billed as nonpartisan. Though people do tend to get more riled up about current politicians than past.

Anyhow, if you are interested: It is on Memorial Drive between 6:30 and 8 pm. It includes activities (though I can remember the specifics at the moment, sorry).

Alrighty now, stepping down of the soapbox :)

"Don't Steal, The Government Doesn't Like Competition"

Well, I decided today that it was time to think about keeping us off the the governments blacklist.

It was time to pay the taxman.

I usually try to get this over with far before the deadline because who knows when you wont be able to find some random piece of paper that just happens to have important tax information on it.... such as how much you paid in property taxes last year (which is the one I'm waiting for in the mail... though I was able to get the number over the phone) or when you are going to have to pay and need time to come up with the money!

.

The kids were fabulous today with Big G not complaining about going to preschool and using the bathroom before he had an accident and wanting to help me whenever possible, to Missy My not getting out toys when I knew the realtor was coming over to take pictures, and Little Li just being good natured and not getting toooo mad when I put him in his excersaucer for an extended period of time so that I could do figures. None of them even complained when I dragged them all out to the car to go pick up tax info from a couple of places around town!

.

So TADA I'm done with the figures at least... now all I have to do is make copies and send the stuff in.

I'm so proud of us!
