C.R.A and Me

I've been audited.

I always thought that you needed to have money to get audited.

Apparently not.

My childcare expenses are under review so I have to provide a copy of Bernadette's T4 (which I created) to prove HOW EXPENSIVE KIDS ARE!!!

I've also just finished writing all my post-dated cheques for the remainder of the year to the loverly Canada Revenue Agency. Employers pay a lot to have employees and employees pay a lot to work. I'm sure there is a social studies lesson in democratic and socialist governments here but I'll refrain. At least B will get some EI back soon! Is that my silver lining in all of this?!

Anyhoo, we had a great weekend away camping with friends. It really was great. Old friends, new friends, all friends are now better friends, no fights, no serious injuries - all the markings of a great weekend. And I learned a lot about cattle ranching. I may have come across as annoying and dumb but I am truly ignorant about the whole farming industry. How are you gonna learn if you don't ask? I might even go help during calfing/calving season but I'll leave the "bedazzling" to the pros :-)
