Letters to my Bookkeeper

April 26, 2005 | Category: In My Life

There are two women who keep the Good Ship Corporate Mommy afloat.

Elia, Bear's babysitter, who treasures my son as though he was her own flesh and blood. And Monica, my bookkeeper, who keeps my finances untangled, bills paid, and allots me a decent weekly allowance.

I love these women. I need these women. I am constantly amazed that they choose to work with me, because me? I am a pain in the ass to work for.

No. Really.

This is how I informed Monica that I was going to be about $1000 over budget this week, out of the blue -

Monica -

1) My computer is dying. It's is making a noise right now that is scaring the cat. I need a new computer ASAP - like, this week. My company-issued laptop will limp me through but the hard drives on this baby are what I need. The noise just got louder. A jet is landing in my office. Yikes!

2) Our lawnmower is dead. I can hire a service (which would be nice because we're both lazy when it comes to lawn maintenance) or we can spend $$ on a new mower - we have a couple of weeks to decide, after that we'll need to put a bright orange antennae on Bear's head when he goes out to play (so we'll know where to find him)

Are we having fun yet?
