I am glad to have finished the accounting of the business for the past year. I even prepared the excel files for year 2008-2009. Soon I will be able to enter the First quarter information as well as entering the date for the summary of the year for the past three months.
But now, I will enjoy Thanksgiving week-end and relax a bit. I've done my job... now it's hubby's turn to drop off the paperwork and files to the accountant.
... and honestly I wonder where does the time go.
This week was busy once again... getting more organized in my office (thanks to my brother-in-law who came to bring the desks upstairs - which means two set of stairs from the basement to the second floor), my bookshelves are up, my printer and scanner are now hooked, we organized the shed in the backyard, cut our months long grass (no kidding I could have done braids with it...), threw more of the 10 year junk, brought a load at Value Village (and more to come), took care of a 9 month old who came down with chicken pox, dried the tears of a 4 year old who got chicken pox on Saturday and couldn't come to the launch of the church (poor kid), did school also and swimming lessons. OUF! Busy like a bee... let me tell you that.
What's left to be done is bringing the filing cabinet in the new office, finishing packing up the old office and getting rid of the desk in there, painting, finishing going through the stuff in the garage so that we can park the cars in there when snow comes, finish organizing my office and then took pictures for your dear reader, scrapbooking and card making (especially the christmas ones...). Oh and also closing down the trailer sometime in October.
So you can see that we are not out of the woods of 10 years of piling things... But we are seeing the end of it and are quite happy about it. No more junk from before our marriage (yes I know it's embarrassing!).
Now if only my 2 year old would catch chicken pox I would be happy.
... bookkeeping it is... This week-end was mostly spent doing the year-end stuff for the business. Not my forte but it has to be done. I don't particularly enjoy it... no wonder I switched from accounting to information technology when I was in University. To top it off, I found some errors in the quarter payments... which means I need to adjust for this year. Not impressed with myself whatsoever!
But it is done! FINALLY... A bit late this year I must be honest with myself. I really need to organize myself and not procrastinate. But with 3 kids and homeschooling... plus being pregnant I had little energy when afternoons came. So I had to find a time where hubby would take care of the kids and I doing the accounting.
Not easy when you know your little one - that's Jérémy - is having a bad case of croup... Since Thursday night... poor kid. Wakes him up in the middle of the night but he doesn't cry - just cough. Barking sound is almost all gone... but still I feel for him.
I also organized my files for the bookkeeping for 2007-2008. Now I just have to keep up-to-date and organized the tons of paperwork to file in the filing cabinet. PWEEH! A never ending job it seems...
Well, I should go... The kids will be up any time soon and I need a shower!
