Taxes...Check!

My hubby and I were able to finally work on our taxes for a few hours last night! After putting in how much I earned in child care for last year, we were most definitely in the negative. We were expecting to have to pay, but that was a lot of money! Then we started putting in all my deductions. I saved just about every grocery receipt from last year, and I was able to add up all the items that I used with/for the boys (like certain foods, detergent, and dishwasher soap). We also were able to claim some of our utilities (like part of our electric bill since they enjoy watching a little TV every day) and part of my car and the mileage! I saved all the receipts from gifts I had given them as well as the receipts from the times I took them all out to eat. So now, after all the deductions, we are in the positive!!! We are actually getting money back this year...I'm so excited!!!

Btw, would you please remember to pray for my good friend PJ today?! You can read all about what she is going through here. Thanks everyone!!!
