It has been a Monday from Hell.
I got Emily to school ok... later I discovered that I neglected to send her lunch money (don't worry, they don't make the kids go without lunch in such situations) and, on top of that, she has been spending extra every day. I'm about to make her start taking her lunch again!
Also her teacher wants a conference. It seems that Emily is not turning in her work on time. Not her homework... which I have some chance of effecting... but her class work. Now, how am I supposed to make her hurry up and finish her class work if I am not in the class?
When I got home, I buckled down and did all my filing. And then I started my taxes. Which included stopping and trying to remember how much inventory I had on January 1. And do I have to file stuff on the money Dad left me? Or not? (I think not) And what about state sales tax? Do I have to file it on everything? Or just the rollerballs? Or nothing at all since I have made about $45 net profit all together? ($112 if I don't have to file state sales tax on anything at all... in the negative if I have to file it for everything.)
When Eliz got up we took her new car and went to get her diploma... and then let her drive around a parking lot and a little bit on the road home. Consider that I am phobic about cars at the best of times... this was highly stressful!
Then I tried to finish my taxes before Emily got home... I did not make it and she did not get any computer time because she kept restarting the machine instead of doing homework... and I had a pep rally at work tonight. I get to open the store at the grand opening on Wednesday... if you're in town, come by and see us, we'll be open at 8am.
Work was actually the really good thing about today. They took us around and showed us some of the selection we'll have in the deli (150 cheeses and butter from Ireland and that's just the beginning!) produce (things there I've never even seen before and had to ask about and organic choices for almost everything) and meat market (anyone for 2 for 1 lobster tails? How about antibiotic free chicken?)
There is also the coolest kiosk... it has ideas for dinner (and lunch... and breakfast). Sorted by things like "Fast and Easy" "Kid Friendly" "Diabetic" "Vegetarian" and more. It gives you the recipe and, if you print out the recipe (!!!) it puts the items into a virtual shopping list. Which you can then print out the list and have everything you need on there to make any of the recipes you selected. It will also give you the nutritional values of the recipes... and tell you what would be a good thing to have with it... and which wine would go well with it. I'm in love with that kiosk!
When I left the store, I met one of the other mothers from my daughter's school. They thought, with all the cars there, that we must be open already... we chatted for a few minutes and she'll be back at 8 on Monday. :D
When I got my mail today, I had a lovely swap package in it... and the crown jewel of the swap package was an imp of Pinched with Four Aces. I opened it to sniff and promptly had my first bad spillage accident... my room will smell awesome now for awhile and I sopped up the traces on the floor with my robe so maybe I'll get to have it for more than tonight. *sigh* And I do like it so much.
I'm having a brandy-coffee and changing into my great smelling robe and out of these shoes. I may not be up very much longer.
