Tomorrow is April 15. Too bad this year's tax deadline is April 18. Steve still has quite a bit of work to do. Poor guy. This has probably been his hardest tax season.
I hesitate to write about how it's been quite hard for us at home because I'm not the one doing all of the taxes, but it has been. I think up until this week, I remained pretty calm. But last night with my 2AM weepiness, I may or may not have told Steve that I never ever ever ever ever ever want to go through another busy season again. EVER.
It's just an empty threat. April 18 will come and then I'll just feel great and say, "hey, that wasn't so bad! Let's do it again!" You know, kind of like how I think I want to have another natural birth. I can totally see all that is good and positive about it after it's all over. But when I'm in it, it stinks. Bad.
This post sounds very complain-y and not very do-your-duty-with-a-heart-full-of-song-ish, but we're all friends here, right? So anyway, that's where I'm at. I might regret this post in the morning. Just remember that I'm your friend and you're mine too.

Ie Li, you're amazing. Don't you go forgetting that. And, it takes a very strong person to be able to own their feelings and accept them. If you accept that there are ups and downs, you become more resilient because you remember that this too shall pass and there's always more good stuff on the horizon.
Never regret being REAL and true. The real you is so amazing and totally worthwhile, don't deny her!! :)
I love you!
Complain away!! Having your husband away is the worst form of torture!! I don't know how single mothers survive! Two more days:-)
Right there with ya, sister! Life is hard sometimes for all of us and it's OK to talk about it. Hang on, April 18 is almost here. :)
I mostly feel bad because I feel like complaining demonstrates a lack of support for Steve. I hope I can one day make it through a busy season without murmuring.
Ie Li, you are such a great wife. Before I was a grown up it never occurred to me that there were levels of spouse. But you are an A+. And Steve is an A+ husband. You guys are perfectly matched. (But it is ok to have a hard time with hard things, and an absent husband when you have three littles is hard!)
