Blast and damn and heck
Lost my checkbook register*
Can't do taxes now
*the old one, the one with 11 months of 2007 charitable giving and childcare expense records in it
ETA:
Swearing retracted
It wasn't lost, just hiding
Thanks, St. Anthony

Welcome
- Welcome to my blog, where I mostly natter on about my life with five kids. Occasionally (not very often, because teenagers keep a person humble) I dispense parenting advice. Occasionally I write about other things, like faith or food or my secret strategy for dealing with annoying kid behavior or whether I am fit to be a mother. Also: who is the mystery intruder? And: does stay-at-home mothering rot the brain? If you are worried about slow weight gain in a breastfed baby, this is my most-viewed post — hope it's helpful to you. Want to read more? I have some favorite posts linked here.
FWI, Starting in 2007 you must have receipts from all charities in order to claim the deductions.
If you find checks in your register that don't have a corresponding receipt in your files, you can either decide not to claim those amounts, or contact the recipients and see if they'll issue you receipts now. I'm pretty sure the receipt only needs to note the date of the original donation -- they can still use the current date in the letterhead.

hee hee, we call that "catholic voodoo" in our family- and although we try our best not to, we may as well build a shrine to dear st anthony for all the times we call on him for his help! (my husband justifies it w/ the fact that he was franciscan...)
glad you found what you were looking for!
