Friday the 13th

It's Friday the 13th but we're not superstitious so we know nothing bad will happen today. Why are we so sure? Because we had bad luck yesterday. We have the hots (96 degrees) so no open windows plus we listened to a webinar on certification for Quickbooks Online Pro Advisor...

Yeah, sounds like a barrel of fun doesn't it? I tried to nap and tune it out...

But it went on and on...

I mean, seriously, there's only so much I can take...

Even my 'can't sit still' sisfur was bored...

After our Thursday the 12th, our Friday the 13th will be a cake walk with whipped cream icing! As long as it doesn't melt in this heat!

Hope you have a lucky day!

Wordless Wednesday: Long Day in the Office

Wordless Wednesday

Finally Friday

We worked all week although not eight hours a day yet. Mommy is still run down from the flu and her cough gives us all a headache. I made sure we all had plenty of breaks to smell the crisp, cool, rainy air...

We did prepare 10 tax returns this week but we'll do thirty times that in the next two months. Yes, we'll be busy but I'll make sure we don't miss any breaks!

How has your week been going?

Enjoy your weekend!

Thankful Thursday

The noisy strangers finished the deck yesterday. It took longer than expected so we're very thankful to finally have peace and quiet restored during our hectic work days in the office...

We're also thankful that after we get done with work today, we're off until September 5th! We have an exciting week coming up with a birthday (frosting!) and a visit from our Grandma from Las Vegas! We have a lot to look forward to!

Do you have anything exciting planned as we near the unofficial end of summer?

Hope you have lots to be thankful for today!

Angel and Isabella

Finally Friday

We're so glad it's Friday! After today we work just one more Friday for the rest of the year! Oh, and of course we only have one more week of tax season left! Speaking of which, we're winding down on our work so it's been much more relaxed the past few days...

It's nice to not have to work so hard and just be cute...

Having sunshine this week has been nice to. Life is good!

How's life in your neck of the woods?

Hope you have a great weekend!

Tortie Tuesday

My Tortie Tuesdays have been few and far between lately but I had to kick off April, as well as the last two weeks of tax season, with some Tortiliciousness...

We're in the home stretch and the end is in sight. Not sure if it's the end of Mommy's sanity or of the endless tax returns but either way, it's almost over. We're ready.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

Isabella

Finally Friday

With the time change last weekend it's been harder than usual to wake up before starting our work day. Just making it to the office is an accomplishment...

Usually TV interests me but not morning TV...

Oh well, guess I might as well bathe and get ready for my day...

Although I really can't wait for tonight...

I might even let Mommy sleep in tomorrow. Maybe.

Have you adjusted to the time change yet?

Happy Friday and weekend!

Angel

Finally Friday

It's Friday. It's March. That's about all the exciting news we have from our neck of the woods. We're over 150 returns into our tax season so about halfway there with a little over a month to go. We usually finish up by the first part of April. We prepare the returns but those in the office have to review, process and get them to clients so we're the first ones done. Thankfully. We all know my work is crucial to the process but sometimes Mommy decides to open the window which distracts me...

She says it's babysitting by Mother Nature. I have no idea what she means. Clearly she's loopy.

Did you have a good week?

Happy Friday!

Tortie Tuesday

It's important to remember that we don't always see something in the way someone else does. That doesn't necessarily mean one way is right and the other isn't. Most of the time. For instance, somemommy sees a hindrance when I'm lounging in her office chair...

Of course, I know what she really sees is a beautiful Tortie brightening up her work day by looking absolutely adorable. Just sayin.

Hope you have a glorious Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella 

Finally Friday

Even though this was a short week due to the Monday holiday, it was still a busy work week. Between getting clients' bookkeeping caught up and tax returns done for the 9/15 deadline, there's no rest for a CPA cat! Thank Cod I helped or somemommy would've never got it all done...

Seriously, what would she do without me? I think it's about time I'm put on the payroll. It's a tough job but somekitty's got to do it!

Happy Friday to you! Enjoy your weekend!

Stating the Obvious

Mommy says that I make it pretty difficult for her to work...

Isn't that the point?

Hope you're efforts are appreciated today and everyday!

Tax Time is Almost Over!

I'm thankful that many things will change after tax season such as helping Mommy work in the office so much. One thing I won't miss is when she tells me I make a better door than a window...

What the heck does that mean? I'm a cat not a door!
Speaking of windows I hear a birdie out that one...

I sure won't miss sitting here all day working instead of watching the Birdie Network!

We survived tax season, of course thanks to my help! It was somewhat enjoyable and fairly stree free despite the seemingly endless tax returns. The actual end this year is Monday the 18th so Mommy is going to Colorado on Saturday to celebrate the end with the others in the office. We'll be celebrating here with Daddy! We probably won't have time for posts next week so we'll be back on Monday, April 25th. Don't forget us! See you then!

Have a great week! Be sure to celebrate Tax Day in our honor!

Angel, CPA Cat

Wordless Wednesday - Peek A Boo

Thank Cod for the Weekend...

Because Mommy is a worry wart wanted to keep an eye on me yesterday*, she made me stay in the living room while she had a webinar. I thought, how bad could it be to lay on the comfy couch for two hours and nap. What I didn't know is that I'd have to listen to a man go on and on about tax stuff...

Hey, whatcha you two doing? Oh my Cod, another webinar? Bella, I warned you about those! Uh, I have important business to take care of anywhere but here! See ya!

Yes, she did warn me and no, I didn't listen. I sure wish I had because this is excruciating...

I am a very patient Tortie but I'm reaching my tolerance limit...

Does he ever stop Mommy?

That was the longest two hours! I know more about taxes than any Tortie should. Ever!

Hope today is the beginning of a great weekend!

*Mommy here: I kept an eye on Isabella yesterday because Wednesday night she had several asthma attacks despite receiving twice the inhaler treatment plus the cortisone shot earlier that evening. The first attack around 9pm was a high pitched squeaky wheezy sound that we've never heard before. I actually thought she was choking on a Greenies treat I had given them not long before that but she was purring and breathing fine in between this sound. Yes, I googled Heimlich maneuver for cats because I really thought she was choking! I stayed up most the night listening for her and checking on her in the dark. Thankfully she's predictable where she sleeps! She had a couple more attacks until about 3am but they were more normal sounding. I made her stay by me yesterday and she had no more attacks so hopefully this was all caused by the stress of the car ride Wednesday. Oh how I wish she didn't have to go through this. It's heart breaking to not understand what is happening and how to help her. 

Finally Friday

It's been a really long week. Maybe it's because breakfast, snacks, brunch, snacks, lunch, snacks, dinner, snacks and bedtime treats have all be an hour late every day! Combine that with Mommy forgetting our Gotcha Day and she worked in the office more so as I said, it's been a really long week. But, I'm taking matters into my own paws and blocking access to the computer...

At least until it's time to eat. Or sleep. Just sayin.

How was your week after the time change?

Enjoy your Friday! Have a great weekend too!

PeeS: Thanks to the Gotcha Day comments we'll be donating $50 to Heartland Humane Society - the shelter we were Gotcha'd from! 

Tortie Tuesday

Obstacles can't stop you

Problems can't stop you

Others can't stop you

The only one who stops you is yourself.

Or...

The need for a nap stops me every time! A Tortie needs her beauty sleep!

Hope no obstacles stop your beauty sleep this Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Am I Distracting?

As you know, our Mommy telecommutes to Colorado from her office right here at home so she can spend time with us we can help her do all her CPA stuffs. For some reason though she says I distract her with my cuteness...

I don't think I'm distracting, she just has a short attention span. Oh hey, there's birdies!

Yeah, okay, I get her point. Guess that's why we make such a great tax team!

It's a tough job being cute but somekitty's got to do it!

Hope you have a great Friday and a Happy weekend!

Angel

Break Time!

I'm a hard worker but I also know the importance of taking breaks...

Especially ones that involve scritches. Just sayin. 

Mommy pretends to be annoyed when I demand break time but she can't resist me. I have her wrapped around my floofy paw! 

Hope you enjoy plenty of breaks today!

Angel

One Week To Go!

We've had a WAY better tax season this year than we ever have.  Mommy's not grumpy stressed at all and she's actually pretty darn happy!  But, that doesn't mean we're not tired of tax returns because we are!  Sometimes I take time out for a much deserved break...

Of course I'm still close by in case Mommy needs help.  I'm thoughtful that way.  After all, what would she do without me?

What do you help with at your house?

Happy final week of tax season!
