"Unemployment" day 4

I hate people who tell you about the dream they had last night. Nobody cares and you are boring me. So, that being said, last night I had a dream that we were able to keep the school open one more week. Jen was happily decorating her room, Leslee was cleaning, the parents all came back for the week, and I was panicking! I kept saying, "I already refunded your tuition. How will I pay the teachers?" And the teachers were all,"that's not our problem." Meanwhile, I didn't even know we were open, I went to pick up my signs and they were business as usual. Turns out that being open was more of a nightmare than abruptly closing ever was! I think it's a good sign that I am having nightmares that we are not actually closed! I feel like documenting my last couple of days will not be as impressive as the first 2, but to be true to the "process" I will do it anyway. Yesterday I calculated all the year end tuition reports for parents for their taxes, washed all the blankets and pillows for the garage sale, and sold the playhouse. I promise that while that sounds like very little I worked non stop from 10-5:30 except when I took Liam to the dentist. Today I have addressed and mailed all the envelopes for parents due refunds, started organizing the garage, and that is all. Still on the agenda today is filling out the application for the trainer registry, and going to watch my niece Kayla do a monologue. Also, Brian is handing out final paychecks and picking up the signs. (Here's hoping that when he arrives it is not business as usual, I will freak.) So there is all the dry stuff. Emotionally, I am better every day. I am for sure embarrassed and stressed, and I really need to get started with filing for bankruptcy and telling the IRS and everyone that we are closed for good. Tax/government stuff has been my achilles heel since day 1. I am good with everything else, but timelines and taxes and forms are not my comfort zone. Also, I have gained 5 pounds in 4 days, so I have to fix that problem ASAP! Otherwise, I am doing OK. I went out last night and had a few beers and didn't get at all nostalgic or emotional, so I am putting that in the win column! Now if only I could fast forward to the IRS issues being resolved, everyone being paid and all the appropriate forms being filed, I would be psyched! One day and one major project at a time.
