It's the second most wonderful time of the year
YESSSS!!!!
Today is the day we look forward to every year. As soon as it's past we count approximately 365 or so days till it comes again. We plan, we dream, we make lists. Maybe next year we'll start decorating the house for it and sending out cards. It's (insert trumpet fanfare here)
TAX RETURN DAY!
Tax Return Day is the one day a year I can afford to take my large family to a restaurant that doesn't have color pictures of the food on the menu. Then I let my little darling shop for whatever their little hearts desire (up to a certain predetermined dollar limit). With whatever is left, I get caught up on all my bills and eliminate all the debts I can.
Looking at it one way...It's ok to go crazy again because I just paid off my therapist.
My son can wear a cap and gown to graduation because I just paid the fee.
My car insurance is good for another six months (with two teenage sons...you know)
I can throw away these contact lenses I've been wearing these WAAAY past the recommended thirty days and buy a new box.
Hey! I can even buy some bras that have an underwire that is actually shaped like a U.
By morning I will be broke again. We will be counting the days untill next Tax Return Day. But for the moment I am square with everybody and that feels almost as good as Christmas spirit.
