Taxes

We all hate paying taxes duh. But if you don't make that magic number per year... well you get money back! And we don't make that magic number so we get money back. And... we got the child dependent care credit... oh man. Since my parents have been claiming Noah I didn't know just what I was missing. My parents were claiming him because we were living with them and blah blah blah long angry story. So, this year was my first time to ever see just how much it was. Oh man, makes us think about having another child! William and I haven't ever received a check that big before. So yesterday when we looked at the bank account we went shopping...

We bought some new XBox stuff that he has actually needed but we couldn't afford. We bought a computer monitor that we needed. And we bought me a new cell phone, the Verizon Droid. I needed a new phone because my other one has been replaced 4 times because it would repeatedly drop a call, had poor service, or even one of the replacements just wouldn't turn on. So I'm hoping to have better luck with this one. We have been watching and reading the reviews on it for the last few months. And today we are going to get Noah's birthday presents and and birthday stuff, along with just groceries. I know we need to slow down on our spending. We actually want to save all this money for a rainy day or even start saving for a house. So I'm hoping this spending spree is almost over.
