Paper, Paper, and MORE PAPER

I'm trying really hard to focus on simplifying my life this year

but at times it seems like an impossible task.

The biggest enemy for me comes in the form of PAPER. 

Running a business...two actually 

inevitably involves a LOT of paperwork, even in today's world of electronic devices.

I learned long ago that you cannot put all your trust in computers. 

Everything should be backed up and even printed out. 

Right now I'm trying to close out our books from last year 

and get everything ready for our accountant. 

It's a tedious task no matter how organized I try to stay throughout the year. 

I HATE IT but I don't know how to change it. 

I've been thinking about a movie I watched (and rather liked) called "Sweet November"

It's a sad movie, but in the movie the main character leaves a very prosperous business

to simplify her life. 

I can't tell you how many times I think of doing that...

selling it all, giving up EVERYTHING for peace and simplicity. 

I wonder how it would be and how long the contentment would last...

So today I ran more errands and completely exhausted myself.

Now it's nighttime and I'm sitting at this silly computer playing catch up...

with our bank accounts, and emails, (and right now my blog). 

My hubby keeps coming out to see when I'll be done, 

and Milli keeps coming out sneezing and excreting gross stuff from her nose. 

When I'm done here I will make one last attempt to get her to go potty 

so she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night to go, 

and then I will confine her to the bedroom and scrub the rest of my floors

because Ethan is coming again tomorrow

and I want the floors extra clean for him. 

Good night all.
