S and I spent the morning coasting around town delivering for K. Can't wait until Tax Season is over so life can go back to normal. It is always crazy this time of year! And it being only 2 weeks left now also means K is at the height of stress and he has no energy left. We really need some R&R after this! It wasn't supposed to be so tough this year, with K having a full time accounting specialist and hiring a CPA for the season. But the first CPA was a total waist of time and effort, she completely lied about her abilities... And she was a PhD! The second CPA he hired wasn't much better, but he just don't have the time to get a new one. So he looks at her as a very expensive administrator, since she does help out in that department. But so far he has had to redo most everything she has done in terms of tax returns... Not what he was hoping for!
I guess the plan will be to hire a full time CPA for later this year. Maybe someone younger straight out of school would be better, someone who is willing to learn and wants to show his feet. K really needs it! And we would like our K back, so we need it too.
After dropping off property tax returns for a few clients we headed over to Super Target to get some party stuff for S's 4th birthday. It isn't until May 8, but she has been so excited about it lately we figured we could get a few thing, get the party favours and so on. It was fun to see how excited she was! This is really the first year she has had any interest in the fact she actually has a birthday coming up.
Her birthday will fall on a day she is in school, so we are bringing in cupcakes and goodie bags for everyone, that is usually the drill. Everything has to be store bought so they can tell what is in it, since there are a few kids with allergies.
For a home party I think we will just have a few friends over for cake (so she can use her fancy Disney Princess plates, cups and napkins she picked out!) We usually do a little lunch time BBQ on the beach. We know this great little park right next to the playground at the north tip of Anna Maria Island. It is right on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico, and the view is beautiful! It is also always a nice breeze under the trees where the picnic tables and grills are, so it never gets too hot. Perfect! We brought over balloons, cake and the whole shebang last year, and it turned out great. I don't know if we will invite any kids though, probably just a couple of our older friends that adore S.
The house is a mess, we haven't really been home much the last 3 days. I guess it will have to wait mostly until Wednesday, since I have to work tomorrow.
Making Thai pork with red curry, veggies and jasmine rice tonight. One of my favourite dishes.

Det måste vara en mycket intensiv period nu för de som håller på med deklarationer.
Vad härligt att kunna ha sommarväder året runt. Jag besökte Miami för några år sedan men det är ju på andra sidan "the panhandle".
Värmen blir dock snabbt olidlig här. i slutet av september har jag ofta halucinationer om svala höstagar och doften av fallande löv.. Suck ja! Det där me dårstider saknar man lite, har är det sommar, sen mindre sommar, lite svalt och sen fullt ös igen! Det ligger i framtidsplanerna att ha sommarstuga hemma på Gotland, så man kan njuta av "vanlig" sommar ibland!
