Not Again.....

Every year I do this to myself and then I think - I am never going to do this again. But, every January I find myself in the same position - tax time. I am sure the rest of you don't start worrying about taxes for a few more months. But for some reason (don't ask me why) I have elected myself to do the bookkeeping for Jason's chiropractic business. Every year I say I am going to keep up with it on a monthly basis and every January I am in the same boat - I have not entered even one receipt for all of 2008. I know...I am lame! You are probably wondering why I am even doing this in my spare time (all that extra time while working full time and mothering three kids). Why don't I just hire a bookkeeper? I don't know...that is a very good question. I am so type A - I like to manage everything myself - but it ends up not being managed at all. It will be a big surprise when I am done to see how much the business made last year. Jason and I are making bets. So - if anyone knows a good and reasonable bookkeeper - send me their name and number. I am sure after a few late nights entering expenses, I will break down and call one so I won't be doing this in January 2010.

My sister does bookkeeping, though she lives in SLC. She also does taxes!

You're blog is so cute! I'm so glad you added it to your Christmas card! Hopefully this way we can keep up more. Darling family!

I used to do the taxes, (just our family's not any business) and sometimes they were complicated with buying/selling a house, living in more than one state, or something, and I was always so proud of myself--it really wasn't that hard! Then one year, I was doing our taxes 8 months pregnant, and it was all I could do to get them done before she was born, and wouldn't you know I got letters back from both state and federal that i'd made errors. oops. now we h&r block. don't know what i was thinking, so not worth doing it myself!
