Just get back into the swing of things and what happens? Tax season. The entire family is impatiently waiting for all our W-forms and other tax information to come in so we can file our taxes. This year it's doubly important we get ahead of things, because we get to fill out, for the first time, financial aid forms necessary for our son's high educational needs coming this fall. And I have come to the conclusion that former military bureaucrats are running financial aid offices. It's all hurry up and wait. They all want you to file early, but you can't file early until you get all your tax information in. And many organizations are in no hurry to send it to you. It's enough to make you pull your hair out. Luckily I've taken the philosophy of it'll get done when it’s done. You can't do anything about it until you get everything in. So there’s no point worrying about it. Now if I could just convince my wife and son of this, I think we'll have a more relaxed household. So how's your week been?
