Today I’m officially dubbing the day Black Friday as it’s the friday before tax day which is Monday April 15th. Do you know it takes something like 6 months of you working each year before you start making money for yourself? I don’t know the exact “break even” day but we’re not there yet. They say the gov will take in a record 2.7 trillion dollars and yet, the Pres says we all still need to pay more. The point here is that whatever they get will never be enough. When you spend money you don’t have, you always need more money, in other words, they’ll never catch up. I can see a day in our kids future when taxes will be 75 or 80% or more until sooner or later it all implodes. The gov just doesn’t get it, and it all starts with the politicians who can’t even grasp the money they’re spending. Hold on to your hats.
Yesterday the misses and I headed downtown after we both ran separate errands earlier in the morning. We stopped for mexican food that wasn’t very good at all (the misses found a hair in her salad and we had to send it back) and then headed home. Jen came home with us again as her Mom was working late and the youngest stayed after school for student council. After that the oldest had baseball and the youngest had his last D.I. practice before the State Championships this Saturday. Then Sunday, Monday and Tuesday we have baseball games. Busy busy busy, what’s new.
It’s 5:20am and I need to get the youngest and Mom up in 10 minutes as she said she’d get him up to help with his homework which he didn’t get a chance to do last night. It’s still muddy outside but warmed up a little bit yesterday. It’s also still down to the wire for me at work. It’s almost out of my control now as to whether or not everything ships. If it doesn’t, I’ll need to lay a person or two off, it is what it is. If we make it, everyone is happy and life is good. Not much I can do now except pray.
That’s it, take care, have a great weekend and God Bless.
