Help!

Ok, it is time to admit that I feel overwhelmed. We leave in less than a week, and I know I will forget numerous things that might be really important! I still have to arrange for the mail, the yard mowing, to have someone start the cars monthly, clean the house, pack, gather everything, make sure the bills are paid or on automatic.... And the gathering of things scares me because we have such limited space to take what we might need... like clothes and toiletries, dog stuff, things to cook and eat with, man, the list just goes on!

I am in panic mode, so here I sit in front of my computer. Isn't that the way it always is? Hiding in Facebook is so much easier that making myself think.

We ordered one of those perforated signs for the large back window of the RV with our name, phone, and web address, so that people might wonder what we are doing, and maybe even make a donation. It should be ready in time. Jeff has been working very hard at getting the route down into increments that he has posted on Facebook on our "runningforthehoses" page, so people can actually follow where we are and where we are heading. Also don't forget to check out the "supportforfirefighters" facebook page, as that is where most of the pics and stuff should be. Although I will be posting some on the blog, and I hope that Jeff will do the same!

Just talking about it seems to make it less overwhelming. But it is also a form of procrastination, right? I have to look into my taxes, too. We filed an extension as I thought the CPA I chose was a bit too conservative. Things I have been told by other tax attorneys and CPA's were deductible, and how to do it, she poo-pooed! I guess if your goal is to never have a client audited, she is probably successful. I am not afraid of an audit. We don't cheat, we just use every possible deduction we have. They have to respect that. So, one other BIG thing on my plate.....

Please don't forget to make a donation at our website, www.supportforfirefighters.com. I want this endeavor to be successful! Just so you know, all donations go to charity. We are funding the expenses for the run ourselves (ouch!)....
