Well it's almost October 17th... which means I've finally (nearly) reached the end of a 10 month long busy season, of sorts. Those late people who haven't filed their tax returns (that means you) have until Monday to get them out the door.
I only have one client left. He hasn't returned my calls, and I honestly don't care if he files or not. His problem, not mine! So... I'm sitting here, at my desk, in a bit of a daze, not doing much of anything.
And, I'm already bored. Maybe this is that weird feeling when you go from rushing around from ten months to a more "normal" pace?
My boss left for the hospital a few hours ago. His wife is in labor. It was so cute, he was trying really hard to work, but he kept smiling this little smile and rushing around the office looking scatter-brained. Funny, because I've never seen him like that before. Which brings me to an interesting point... something I've been thinking about lately. When is the right time to have a kid?
My boss is in his 40's, his wife is in her 30's. So basically by the time he turns 65, all ready to retire, he could still be putting kids through college! Doesn't seem like fun to me. We've got the flip side with my parents... Mom had me when she was 19... granted she and Dad did have my sister Katy when they were older, but trust me now that they have more $$ and free time, they've been going on vacations like they're going out of style. Living that high life now that their kids are getting out, getting married...
So what is better, spending your youth changing diapers, watching kids, or travelling the world fancy-free with your young spouse? OR, spending your "golden years" changing diapers, watching kids, and complaining about college tuition, or vacationing through Europe with "Senior tours"?
I wonder if you can get a senior-discount on Happy meals for your kids?

I think you should have kids now and have their saving funds all stocked up...so you can help me pay off the loans I'm going to have until I'm 90 years old. That way I can be out of debt to go on "senior tours" with you!
Steph,
you are sounding more and more like Socrates every day... pondering life's unanswerable questions, well, since they're unanswerable - I won't attempt to guide you! Good luck!

Stephie...neices and nephews are fun...I am learning...now that I have inherited 9. BUT...to make them really enjoyable....they need to live about 10 miles down the road. Love ya.

Steph,
Have 19 children like your great grandparents. I don't believe you will have that much time to think about those questions in life.
Anyway, having those kids when you are older makes you feel younger!
