Buried Under Paper

Now that the orders are slowing down I'm starting to "take back the house." Since my house is the "corporate headquarters", in the past few weeks it's come to resemble a giant mailroom with all the orders going out the door.

In addition to trying to get the house back under control, I'm also now faced with the realization that I have four months worth of receipts that I haven't yet properly filed. I went through the paper today and now have a folder that is 4 inches thick of paper that needs to filed and inputted into QuickBooks.

The good news is that I actually have all bills, receipts, and invoices as required by the IRS. The bad news is it's going to take some time getting through and organized. I hope to get to work on it this weekend and finish it on Tuesday before my in-laws come into town for Thanksgiving. If not perhaps I'll just make the in-laws work for their turkey!

Right now, in the background, I currently have the Oprah show on and what I've picked up is that they have a woman who had literally tons of stuff in her house including 35 year old credit card statements. In comparison I don't feel so bad.
