Yay, my Tax Return got Deposited,

After weeks of anticipation it is now in there, and boy do I feel relieved. Not only has everything been paid, but now we are one step closer to getting more stuff done to our house.

List is as follows;

Dyson ( yes I have been talking about this forever)

Hardwood floor for the living room, yes, we have decided to go against recarpeting, due to the fact that our animals sometimes have a$$ problems and will not make Traci a happy girl.

Awning for back patio door
New Front door
New cabinets…starting little and then getting them eventually completed.
Vet appts for 4 dogs, yes they are due and we will need to get their borditella shots since we are planning vacations shortley
New Cell phones can I get an Amen…no lil tiny beebee phone for me and Heather anylonger…


I am a list person, I need to do lists to get organized and well now I feel so much better about being organized I could jump in a circle.

Snow day schmow day

Yep, we got hit with about 7-8 inches of snow last night, and well last night on the way home I decided to park my car in the garage. Now mind you, I haven't parked in the garage for a couple months due to Heather finishing up sanding and painting the kids twin beds. Well yep, I park there last night, figuring, we aren't going to get any snow, which lately the weatherman are so far off its scarey. So yep, I do and we got snow, which at 5:20 am in the morning, does not look to appetizing to shovel,not to mention it was still snowing a little. So I took a personal day to stay home, and do anything at my leisure. Being the investigative guru I am,I decided to see what is going on with my everlasting battle with Turbo Tax. Now when Heather first did her taxes, I said are you sure you put the bank account information on the return correctly, and the automated response was yes, so no harm no foul. Well when we found out the IRS deposited her funds last Tuesday 2/15/11,and nothing arrived in the bank account, I asked again, are you sure you put the right information on the return,i.e. routing number, etc. Yes was the response. So here we come to the investigative nature of me...I thought, well I'm going to pull up the 2010 tax return and see for my self. I couldn't log on to the account and I didn't find the return saved on the hardrive. So I talk to Heather on the phone and she gets into the TT and pulls up the information, and we recite the numbers exactly except she is missing a 0. Yep, just 0. That is our problem... Really? Are you serious? Ugh...so now its the matter of seeing if the IRS got it bounced back due to a wrong acct number or, on the off chance which is "our life" that the account number that the funds were deposited into was a valid account, but just not ours!! Yep, so now we have to find out whats going on. I swear, I just hope and pray that mine gets deposited this Friday and nothing is wrong with the world. I try and try to stay positive and to keep reciting to myself, "I belive, I believe" but it never fails.

So today I'm going to shovel out in front of the garage, and then see what else I can get into without knocking any other flowerpots over with wet soil in that will ineveitably fall on the carpet!! YAY!

Today was a day which was a day

Omg, can I just say I am so glad this day is over, well so to speak, at least work day is over. Started out good, I was in a good mood and bam, like being hit in the rearend by a speeding vehicle, the day turned to shit. Started off by Heather's Tax refund didn't get deposited, so that is another issue, thank you FUCKING IRS...you want our money right away but when its ours coming back to us, you take your good fucking time and well yea....
Secondly,I couldn't accomplish a thing today other than input scheduling orders because my head was throbbing between me not wanting to be at work, and then having to check on turbo tax, and well if any one knows me, I will search and search until I get some solace in my thoughts to actually find a reason for my madness. Comes to say that pretty much everyone is going through the same thing, you wouldn't have believed all the FAQ of Where is my refund? TT says its deposited, but bank says no go, all kinds of posts like that. So seriously, what is the deal IRS? Are you that incompetitent and malfunction oriented that you have cut your costs and no longer hire competetent people to process the refunds. Are you to doing cut backs while the rest of us work our butts off in the 8-5 jobs. Apparently so because the proof is in the pudding and well this pudding sucks!

3rdly, I get a text from Heather stating the Cooper, our Chocolate lab busted out of his kennel and decided to have a friggin tupperware party in the kitchen, by rummaging through the kitchen cabinets and pulling all my tupperware out on the kitchen floor, then he decided to come upstairs and scratch the bathroom door because he wanted to drink out of the toilet. Are you serious?

4thly, I decided to come home in hopes of catching Heather so we could drive up and pick up the kids but nope, I was in the drive home from hell where 5,000 people decided to all drive on 70 at the same time from Frederick to Chambersburg. Yep, thats my life in a nutshell today. So right now I needed to vent, I was going to go running, but the wonderful day couldn't have ended any better by now being dark out and I do not feel like running witha flashlight!! FML!

Gratitude Journal Thoughts Part 1

Can we just say Wow is the word today...wow can be used in so many ways, to show excitement, to show joy, to express an overwhelming feeling, to even mark astonishment or amazement...so all I can say is today is WOW!

Its accepted

Thank goodness, so now I just have to wait, which is not one of my endearing qualities. Email states my refund will be deposited as of 2/25/11, so I can only hope and cross my fingers. Ugh this is crazy. Heather's refund is to be deposited tomorrow but considering my friends have been having problems with their refund status being deposited,or messed up I can only hope and pray. Tomorrow night Heather picks up the kids and we are headed down to my moms on Saturday for Nick's Birthday Dinner of Spare Ribs, then we are taking them to Red Lobster on Sunday. Please please please let the money situation rectify itself by tomorrow. Ugh...
on a side note, i'm getting the urge to go to Williamsburg!!!

Tax Refund where are you?

Ok, can I say I wish my tax refund would get here already. This sucks having to wait until it is processed all because of the legislation not getting their act in gear. I filed my taxes mind you on January 27, I just got an email saying they have started to process the backlog and that I should receive a confirmation email by the end of the week, well I don’t like to wait one bit. I'm an act now type of personality, I have things I want to get taken care of, I want to pay this friggin bill to the plumbing N heating company that came and fixed our furnace, I would like to get a dyson, I would like to get possibly another coach bag, I would like to pay down the credit card plus get a new front door and place an order for windows… is this too much to ask I say?
