Let me repeat, Is busy season over yet? Things have been a little rough around the edges at times here in our house. Having a baby during busy season is tough. Not seeing your husband until 10pm each night and then having him still work from home after that for a few hours is tough. Seeing your husband for only 30 minutes max each day is tough. Caring for a baby and feeling like you are neglecting your husband is tough. Trying to make time for each other is tough. Remembering how much time we had for each other before this little babe came is tough. But taking care of this little fella with my husband right by my side (when his schedule allows) is 100% worth it. Seeing my husband's eyes light up as he swaddles our son and tucks him into bed each night is worth it. Knowing that Mike and I made this baby and he is all ours, is worth it. Hearing baby coo's and squeaks throughout the day, is worth it. Knowing that we will have more time for each other once busy season is over, is worth it. Having a countdown until Mike can take his paternity leave, is worth it.
We seriously love our little Wyatt so much. Things can get hard at times but they are so good. We wouldn't have it any other way...(maybe less work hours...) But we are so grateful for this little baby in our house and are so happy that we are his parents. We are learning a lot as we go through all of this together.
Almost half way done with busy season!! Hopefully the warm weather will start to come too!!

hello
New year, New blog.
Welcome to my busy season blog. Here is where I hope to document my feelings and experiences through busy season so that during future busy seasons, I can look back at this and reflect on previous years. Maybe that will make future busy seasons better. Hopefully I can unite accountant wives and we can share each other's pain that busy season often brings.
This busy season is my third one as a married gal, fourth knowing my husband and will be my first with a baby (due any day now). It is crazy how fast they come and go. This year started out almost two weeks ago. I was feeling very confident that I could tackle this one and not have any tears or sad days or bad feelings towards the accounting field.
On the third day into busy season 2013, I had my say day. I couldn't believe that I had such high hopes for this year and then I came crashing down so soon after Mike went back to work. I think it is okay to have sad days. Days that you want to stay in pajamas, not put on make-up, and lounge around the house. I have to limit myself to those since they feel good for a little bit of time but then they keep dragging me down.
Mike brought up an interesting point how maybe busy season's have been getting easier for us since we know what to expect now that we have been through a handful of them together. We know how each other will deal with the pain and sad feelings of never seeing each other. I'm still a little skeptical but he might be on to something.
Busy season is hard for me because Mike is my best friend. I turn to him before I turn to anyone else. I go to him with my success and with my fails. He is always there for me and will always listen to me even when I sound completely absurd During these gray months of busy season, I have to limit how much I throw on his shoulders. He is already carrying so much from work that I really need to pick and choose what to tell him and what to spend our precious time together talking about. It is during these times where he most likely doesn't want to hear me complain about my in-grown fingernail and my chippy nail polish that chips the second I put it on or how much certain things bug me. Mike is a good sport and will listen to me talk about anything but hopefully this busy season I can put on my busy season filter and fill our precious time with things that really matter and hopefully this will help him relieve the stress off of his shoulders.
This post I am just going on and on about random aspects of busy season. I will get my thoughts more organized and this blog but for now, these are my busy season thoughts.
