UGH! I hated that when it used to happen to me! Don't bother filing the Feb. expiration ones- just sort them into an envelope by themselves. They will be there if you need them. The rest I would just file when you are watching TV on night till you are all caught up!

Don't beat yourself up over it though! Remember that your time is worth something too and every once in a while you won't have the time.

Have a great weekend!
