Guess that means I can stop eating large dishes of jello like it’s going out of style huh? Random thought, I know but seriously I have been eating jello and craving it like crazy. We consumed one box already and I made up 3 more (yes 3) boxes last night for our chowing pleasure.

I really don’t need to be snacking on jello considering I have lost 12 pounds over the last 3 months and I am wasting away… I know you are thinking what a joke! This girl is honestly complaining about loosing weight?

Trust me weight is an issue no matter what size you wear. For my family the fast metabolism and over active thyroid glads are to blame and we have to work hard to “eat enough”. If we don’t we not only look bad but we have dizzy spells, stomach issues and so on. when you work food off as fast as you can eat it… It’s a pain!

So I need to be eating beef jerky or something that takes a while to break down/ burn off, NOT jello..

Oh, and I am doing my business inventory like a mad woman right now. I want to file my taxes but I need to know what inventory was at year end, which also means I need to input all my expense receipts that I put off all year.

I am also packing as much as I can to prepare for the upcoming move at the end of the month. I am literally surrounded by boxes but I guess we have been since we moved in here… We have been living out of boxes for the last 6 months… Living out of boxes makes packing to move a bit easier I guess.

Oh, and I have been getting my students ready for their upcoming competition at the end of the month too. You can see a video of them over at gather (a writing/ publishing site) (http://www.gather.com/viewVideo.jsp?id=11821949021859541). So what are you up to this fine day?

Those taxpayers whose adjusted gross income is $54,000 or less can file their taxes for free. Also military families and families that are eligible for the earned income tax credit may be able to file for free depending on the complexity of your filing status.

You can learn more about the IRS free file tax program at the IRS free file site: http://www.irs.gov/app/freeFile

Don’t put off your taxes, even if you think you may owe money. It’s better to file early and that way you will either get a return quicker or you will have more time to save money up that you owe. Tax day is April 15th.
