Because I was curious and on hold with the IRS…

I’ve been a mother for 1906 days.  It doesn’t seem like a big enough number for what has been the biggest best part of my life.

I had a melt down last night- guess I needed to cry.  Came out of the bathroom and Emma saw that I’d been crying and started to cry too. “Mom, I love you and when you are sad I am sad!”

Can you say GUILT?  I explained that sometimes moms and dads just feel sad too.  And that she was so wonderful and made me smile even when I was sad.  She was so cute and so sweet and so delightful I ended up laughing, and then she started laughing too.

She is truly the best thing that I’ve ever done.  At the end of the day life is good because of her!

Dear client

If you yell at me or my staff you will get the shittiest time for a tax appointment.  Because you are not nice, if you don’t bring everything with you and we have to call and remind you or request additional documents, we will only call you once.  We will not go out of our way for you.  If you accuse us of bad service you will only get good service- not exceptional or fantastic.  We will not go out of our way for you. There are ways to make you pay for being rude and all of them legal.  I’m just sayin…
