View Full Version : I won a paperwork skirmish!

Paperwork is flowing over every work surface in my house. It is peeking out of over-stuffed files and threatening to overtake our lives. Due to a number of circumstances: chronic pain for the last few years, chronic fatigue, an allergy to paperwork some of this paperwork is actually years old! Lately, despite having the coughing crud for the last 2 1/2 weeks, I've been actually feeling like I have a brain and some energy to use it.

So this is my brag/ praise/ victory dance:

1. I have 2/3 of our taxes done!

2. I have all of our current bills paid or marked on the calendar and in a file to be paid (I actually was pretty good about this even when ill).

3. Dh has taken over correcting the last 2 months of 5th grade math! (He is also going over those problems ds10 got wrong and is explaining them to him!)

4. I actually went through the last of last year's schoolwork and have thrown out all un-necessary schoolwork! I save the chapter tests and a few sample pages of work in each subject.

Of course, this just the tip of the ice berg but I wanted to share my joy. :hurray: :cheers2: :party:

Hang in there, Jean! You're making great progress!

I do hope you're feeling better in short order.

Isn't it a relief when you start getting on top of things? Especially things you've been putting off.

I got my taxes almost done yesterday, too. Just need to make a copy and get dh's signature and off it goes. Phew!

:hurray: Good for you! I know how hard it is to face those piles, particularly if you're not feeling 100%. Yay, you!

:thumbup1:Way to go!

I'm working through the paperwork mess here today - you're an inspiration. (Can I send our tax stuff to you? I'm dreading do our taxes this year.)
