Lifes Like That

Every year I dread this time of year. This is the time of year when we all have to file our taxes and then we sit wait patiently to see if we are going to owe the government some money or if we will be getting a refund. Well, I’m happy to report that this year both my husband and I will be getting a refund. Although I’m only getting a small amount back, my husband is getting quite a bit back, so we will be able to pay off some bills and he is planning on buying each of the kids a new bike.

They both have picked out the bike they want and quite surprisingly, they were pretty cheap bikes they picked out. Although these bikes do have the necessary accessories such as an led light on both of them, they are still pretty inexpensive which means that we can put most of the money on the bills. Now all we have to do is sit patiently waiting for the mailman to bring us the checks.

I got a pretty interesting piece of mail last week. It was from a credit card company that offers cheap credit card processing which in turn helps consumers to end up with lower debt. Although I haven’t checked out this company very much yet, but what I have read I am seriously thinking about transferring all my credit card debt to them. This way I will have lower interest payments and be able to pay off all my debt a little bit faster. With today’s economy as bad as it is, every little bit helps and quite possibly this could be the solution to my problems.

Well, it really is supposed to be spring, but I really have to wonder if it is. Tonight we are supposed to be for another major snowstorm. Well, the last time I looked it snows in winter, not spring! The only good thing about this storm, is the fact that this snow probably won’t stick around very long. But, by the sounds of things, the kids will probably be home tomorrow on a snow day. Man I really can’t wish until spring “weather” is finally here and we can all step away from the snow and all these snow days.
