Tax Time

It's that dreaded time of year again. Nope, not the annual visit to the OB/GYN for your pap. It's TAX TIME!! I've owed in the past and I dread every year. Will we get some money back? Will we owe? How much? I claim "0" and Hubby surprised me by saying he claims "2". All these years I had no idea! We deduct what we can. This year we made too much to claim our children. WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT?!? I pay a Hell of a lot for daycare and dance and Tball and volleyball and private PreK. These little monsters are super expensive. And I get nothing for having them? So, we don't get to claim child support. We don't get to claim the insurance we pay on all 4 kids. We don't get to claim the 2 that we have at home? Maybe this will keep the people who have more and more kids for benefits from having more kids. Though, they probably don't make enough to get the same answer I did. This is bogus bullshit. We can't afford for me not to work, and we almost can't afford for me TO work.

Not an Introduction

I could start this blog off with a long introduction about who and what I am, but there's too much. And that might take some of the fun out of reading my blog. I still don't even know the answer to those questions all the time. And it can change daily. This blog will be about my daily/weekly life. Sometimes it will be easy, and sometimes it will be hard. I will just jump right in. Hubby likes to go hunting and fishing, a lot. It rarely happens because we have 2 kids and he works a lot, but when it does, I feel so inconvenienced. I already do a lot of the child rearing alone due to his schedule, and now he wants to take off on a vacation? Usually the rule is, he can only go on a weekend he'd otherwise be working. This weekend, due to scheduling conflicts, he gets to go on his weekend off. And of course, I am coming down with a cold. Ugh. He worked last weekend, and is gone this weekend. So I told him he "owed me" and am making him take the following weekend off to help me. We have to go out of town for family stuff anyways, but I still need the help traveling. Does my Hubby deserve to have a vacation and go do things on his own? Absolutely, don't ever take anything different from that. But is it easy on me, with 2 young kids and a full time job? No it isn't. Will all my posts be bitching about something. No. But some will be. That's part of this life. And if I can't get my feelings out on my own blog, then where else can I?
