I’m excited for my birthday tomorrow. I took the day off of work. My plan? To sleep in. To enjoy breakfast with the kids. To take the boys to the Children’s Museum in Everett. To drop them off and go swimming by myself. To pick them all up and take the boys to their swimming class. And to go out to dinner at Claim Jumper and order whatever I want :). I just got some new clothes from LLBean today, and my raise showed up on my paycheck on Friday, so life is really good right now. Oh, and one of my coworkers said she’d refer a few tax clients my way. I’m not sure if I should be eternally grateful and honored or just terrified. She somehow attracts clients with the most complicated, convoluted tax situations. Regardless, I do feel honored. A little scared, too, though because I don’t have enough practical experience doing bookkeeping. But I guess we all have to start somewhere.
