Its that time of the year again. You get paper work and see how much Uncle Sam likes you. Before I was all old and married and what not, tax time was easy breezy. 1040 ez and on my way I went. Oh no, not now. HR block said we get back 11measley dollars on the free e-file thing. When I filled it out on the actually tax form, it was $450. We were reeeeally hoping for more considering we had a kid and payed in a shit ton, like damn near 6 grand. We are going to have to pay to get this done. I'm going to be hella pissed if we pay to get our taxes done and get back a crappy 11 bucks. Ugh!
My son has discovered his hands. This is all well and good, except he tries to fit his whole damn hand in his mouth. First time he did that while he was crying it about scared the bajesus out of me. Its this muffled crying and I just knew he had somehow got stuck somewhere and was suffocating. Little turd.
I've been loading up Lynda with downloaded stuff. She got this hella awesome external hard drive for $35 at Circuit City. Can you say suweeeeeet! Once we get all the hospital bills paid off, we will have more money for fun stuff. The only stuff we have to buy for Miles are formula and diapers. Thankfully he wears the next to cheapest diapers and a not super expensive formula. They don't make a generic of it, but thats ok. I have enough clothes that I really don't have to buy anything for the 1st year. Of course I still do :) Eventually I will make it to Kid to Kid and get him some goodies to play with. We have a sweet deal with my aunt watching him no more than 3 days a week. I would like to start saving up for a house.
If one more person tells me we need to buy a house I just might punch them. Yes, I understand that houses are hella cheap. It doesnt matter how cheap they are when you dont have the money for them. That's like telling a homeless guy McDonalds has a dollar menu. This 100% financing, interest only loans are crazy to me. If we can't put a down payment down we arent buying it. Plus, we havent decided where to live til we are old and fat yet. Why buy and then need to sell in 5 years. Call me crazy but If you dont have the money, you shouldnt get it. This is why I havent had more than $200 on a credit card in years.
I hope it doesnt ice oer tomorrow. I have to work late and my aunt will have Miles. I dont like the idea of me driving in it, leaving work early or Miguel working in it. I'm a worrier, what can I say :)
