Tax triumph (or one more reason to reproduce)
So it's D-Day for taxes and for the first time in, I'd say my entire life, I have something to smile about! Every year, it's been the same rigamaroll for us. We enter H&R Block, smiling, hopeful, a little smug even, with dreams of how we're going to spend our tax refund...and every year we leave the tax office completely deflated, depressed, dejected (you get de- picture), stuck with owing the IRS $2,000+.
We've donated more to charity. We've upped our withholdings. We bought a house. We have modest jobs that pay modest wages. We've tried just about everything - everything, that is, except having a kid. Enter the glorious year of 2007, the year of our first born. Ta da! We finally are getting $2,000+ back. So that's the way it works, eh? I left the tax office this year proclaiming, "We shall have more kiddies. We'll repopulate the earth with them!" and laughing maniacally all the way to the bank. I wonder if that's how Chris O'Donnell got started. 2 comments from 2 users

I remember the first time I owed on my taxes. I did them myself, as always, and I totally thought I did my math wrong. Nope! I owed big time because I had no dependents, I didn't own, and I didn't beat the standard deduction. It was awful, but at least I was prepared the next year.

HAhahha, oh yeah. Combine that with the economic stimulus package and we'll all be having our next mom coffee in Hawaii. Or get to buy that jumbo pack of diapers at Costco. Hehehe.
