My own fault and I desperately need to change tactics.
Once again I am saying that NOW I am going to start on presents for this coming Christmas and we'll see how well I do!

Maybe next year I will find a "groove" when we are moved into the new house and not as cramped; but for the last few years it has been hard to get into the spirit; and maybe DH will have got out of his funk.

Christmas was a real bummer. I always have depression problems during the holidays. DH has physically reached the point where we have been unable to travel out of town for several years, and he always gets down this time of year too. So I do not see any of my family. I did not even put up the tree for the first time ever. Why bother when I am the only one to see it (DH is in bed whenever he is home, cerebral palsy is making his life miserable). Guess I could go on feeling sorry for myself, but it is time to get over it.
So Happy New Year everyone!

I have 30 days to come up with $4,500.00 and I have not worked in over a year....pretty much has sent me into a deep depression and even deeper hatred of this state and its love of taxes!
Ouch! The one and only quilt shop in my town was shut down due to the owner not paying all her state taxes. Her inventory was sold at auction as she couldn't pay all the back taxes at one time. She didn't see the need to pay for a specialized bookkeeping service and thought she was doing it right as she did all her tax returns herself. She almost lost her home as the shop wasn't incorporated. Something she didn't know about either. She told me she was still paying her attorney fees but the tax situation was all cleared up.

By mutual agreement, we have stopped buying presents for anyone but the grandchildren - and we only have two. It has made Christmases so much easier, relaxed and more fun. I did sew a few things for the grandchildren - T shirts, a doll etc. And I covered a coulple of pillows in Christmas fabric. But I kept myself under control there too. Has been much better.
