IRS audit 99% done and ready for the CPA to give the final OK before telling the IRS they'll think twice about auditing sday. Especially when they find out I turned up $2,000 more dollars in receipts than I had originally estimated and requested! Ha! Take that sucker punch IRS man.
As for the other stuff that's been keeping me busy... a load of paperwork that typically takes 6 months to complete, well... it must be expedited and completed within the month. Yowza.
Betcha can't guess exactly what "paperwork" I'm talking about! Some of you know what I'm talking about, those of you who are feeling left in the dark.... you'll be in the light soon enough!
I freaking miss you all. Please don't give up on me. Next week sday will be back with a vengeance WITH A HUGE MEGA SWEET ANNOUNCEMENT!
So tune in Wed June 1st for THE NEXT CHAPER IN THE FINDING SDAY JOURNEY!

LIFE AWAITS
I'll be doing a lot more letting go, and indulging in massive amounts of discovering the new life that awaits me in the next few months... and then some.
P.S. My new boyfriend is due to arrive on my waterlogged front stoop sometime tomorrow. Thanks a heap for finally sending me a functional computer and for charging me shipping... twice. Thanks for nothing MacIntosh.

ALMOST BACK & THE IDEA OF MORE CHANGE
Hate me. Go ahead. My 1 post a week plan has been breached. However, I'm almost back up and running people. I've been buried up to my eyebrows in IRS red tape and jumping through hoops labeled - paperwork, files, lists, phone calls, and many other things. Some bad, some good, and some amazingly great. Time will tell my friends and you'll all be let in on my little secrets of sday.
For now, just know that I'm trying to catch my breath and make plans for some possible changes that might be coming your way. I've been debating more changes to the blog. Boo Hoo, it scares me. And I don't want to lose a single one of you darling readers. But the changes will be super duper radical and you might just shizz your pants when you see it!
See you in another few days.
Live long and prosper for me, I'm diving back into piles of paperwork.

MAYDAY... MAYDAY... MAYDAY
Before I get to the fabulously written post about advice mothers should give to an expectant mother instead of the crappy advice I got.... I am herby sending an absolute emergency signal.
What is worse than owing the IRS all of your money? Let me tell you. Being told that you were going to receive a big fatty fat check in the mail from them, and instead you received a letter stating that you are being AUDITED. Are you freaking kidding me right now? Besides, this terrifically inopportune audit timing, I have some mega huge changes coming up in the coming months of my life. Life changing stuff. So beyond just being annoyed that the IRS doesn't believe how much money I spent on getting my baby here through adoption... I'm also suffocating in anxiety about my current living space, income, ridiculous amounts of demanding paperwork, large upcoming checks to write, and so forth.
Thus, (gasp now) I will only be updating this blog once a week for the month of May. (now breath out before you faint.... all three of you readers) The month of May is the essential month that I MUST get my life in order as well as prove my middle class standings to the government. Because it is imperative that June and July be filled with delightful things, before life goes haywire in August.
Please bare with me and I cross my heart that I'll be back up and running with daily findings come June 1st. Until then, stop moping around wondering what you'll do without my lame musings... and come clean my house or help me dig up 2 year old receipts for gas money spent on driving to California to pick up my baby girl.
Or just come back to see me in June and I'll be here right where we left off :)
Sincerely,
Sday

FO-SHIZZLE BIZZLE
Sup peeps? I'm fo' shizzle busy getting ready for an uber needed adult only vaycay with the kday. Also need to complete some homemade giftaroos for mother's day that is rapidly approaching. So instead of boring you with my alphabetized and cross referenced packing list (highlighted even) ;).... I'll share this little ditty that perfectly describes my views on motherhood. Compliments of CARDIGAN EMPIRE DOT COM
Your mother's collar may have been soiled with your sorrowed sobs. Her eyelids may have been wrinkled with dreams of your happiness. Her lap may have been stretched and softened to cradle your cultivation. These are a woman's badges of honor, medallions of her motherhood.
Women are born mothers. Motherhood doesn't ceremonially commence when a woman conceives a child. She can bear children in her heart long before she ever (if ever) bears them in her womb.
HAVE A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.
***Monday will bring a delicious post on the actually helpful advice that people should give when you become a mother.

WE BROKE UP
Oh ya, I forgot to mention the the wonderful, fabulous, amazing computer that I waited so long to receive in the mail... My "boyfriend."
We broke up. It was ugly. There were a few words that required "bleeping" and maybe even a near hostage situation.
He came, he was handsome as expected but acting faulty, we went to the so called "mac-genius" for some relationship counseling... and well, it's over.
I sent my mail order boyfriend back to the warehouse.
I've been a little torn up about it and I'm really ticked that Apple is making me pay for the S&H to return the broken product they sent me in the first place.
So here I am, back with the EX. He's not as fast, fancy, good looking, modern or sleek as my new boyfriend was. But he's comfortable.
So we'll see if I decide to order another refurbished boyfriend or maybe I'll just write off the new trendy model and settle for my old busted up, dented, barely functioning MAC.
Kday would never let me settle, but my patience is rapidly deteriorating.
INSISTENT
Tried on some of last seasons swim wear to see if anything still fit.
And little lady insisted on wearing it around the house for the entirety of the day.
With socks and no bottoms.
While it was snowing outside mind you...
Cutest dang thing I saw all week!
And obviously we'll be shopping for new swim attire for the upcoming lazy days at Cherry HilI
