April 18th was a day of huge relevance this year for me in my profession. Am I locked in my office doing taxes?
Nope, at the doctors office with my 2 year old who was running a 103 fever today. Is someone playing a cruel joke on me on Tax Day?
Surely not!
Still, I did end up going by my office for a short time, with my little one in my lap, while finishing my last few extensions and tax returns. All the while thinking, wasn't I supposed to have a few hours of studying tonight? After a long day and weekend, the last thing I want to think about is studying! I've been up all night with the baby, making sure he was comfortable and cool and properly medicated. I am absolutely worn out.
Meanwhile phone calls are coming in with everyone saying, “aren't you happy that tax season is over?”
Sure, I guess, but that means 2-4 hours of studying every night and 8-10 hours on the weekend. Awesome, super awesome. Psyched.
I DO need to get psyched. I need to get pumped. My Roger CPA Review study material is here. My laptop is ready. My notepad is ready to go. I even have off tomorrow to have my first study day. Will I study?
Let's see how the little one is and I'll let you know next week!
Right there with you, Mari, only my boy was vomiting and he at least waited until after the 18th. I had the CRAZY idea that I would start studying BEC last weekend because surely we would be done with taxes, however, were non-stop busy until Monday evening. When people ask if I am happy tax season is over I just say, "I'd rather be working than studying". I have jumped right back into studying before I got the slightest taste of free time, or else I would not do it. Hope your little one feels better. Apparently mine does because he just ate an entire chocolate Easter bunny.
