It feels so good to know that my taxes are done, this is the first April 15th that I haven’t had to fret about the taxes being done and sent in on time.

My daughter has even received both her Federal and State refunds already, we have gotten our State refund back but are still waiting on the Federal one which always seem to take a long time to get back.

I’m anxious to find out when we will be receiving the checks that President Bush has promised to sent out to us taxpayers.  I had heard that it would be sometime in April or May, now I’m hearing June or July, they can’t come out soon enough as far as I’m concerned.  The money received will be spent quickly, probably will all be spent by the next day on bills, oh what fun!

What I would like to do tomorrow (Sunday) really,is to take the phone off the hook and sleep the whole entire day away. Totally undisturbed, how totally unreal of me.

Hubby will be taking our youngest to the flea market, they are leaving at 4:30am, it takes them one and a half hours to get there, she will be sleeping the whole way down, I’m sure of that.  They won’t be returning back home much before 7:00pm, it makes for a long day for the each of them. Monday morning is rough on the both of them, and she has to get up and go to school.  And by now almost everyone body knows that Hubby will be in bed, feeling like crap, for the whole entire Monday and sometimes he won’t get over it until Tuesday evening sometime.  Once in a while someone will call or come over on a Monday and I give them Holly Hell, I’m so tired of it, sorry - long and tiresome day.

His health has deteriorated so much in the past three years or so that he really needs to slow down, but he can’t and he won’t, this is a very determined man, God bless him!  What we would really like to do is have our own shop, I could sell things that I choose to sell and he could sell all of his oddities and collectibles, both under the same roof, indoors, at our time selections and not have to load and unload our merchandise each and every time we go to the market/show.

This is something that we have wanted to do for a long time, that and we had at one point we were interested in opening our own small restaurant, but there is no way I would consider doing that anymore, I hate cooking now - so that wouldn’t make much sense now would it.  And I’m sure that Hubby won’t be doing the cooking, or the waiting on tables either, come to think of it, I wonder just what he was thinking his job was going to be in that business idea.
