Taxes Anyone?

ahhhhh. yet another year to what? FILE TAXES!!

I still have yet to file mine. My family and I have filed with the same guy for years. Hes an accountant for the church and I have to say, he really does his . best in helping us get back as much as possible.

Now, just to recap [last years] tax filing incident. Lets begin.

I go in and file, all is fine and dandy. Maybe a day or two later, I get a call from our tax guy, his name is Brad btw. Brad calls me and asks, "Do you know if Leroy claimed Tamara on his taxes?" And as soon as he says that, my face goes RED!! My blood starts to boil and I'm just about rogue. I respond saying, "I have no clue, I can call him and ask." Brad says, "please do." Brad tried to submit my claim and it was getting rejected.

I call Leroy.

Low and behold, he claimed Tamara. He went on saying, "ya, how does it feel now?".. maybe not those words exact, but something like it. I was so pissed!

Brad got things squared away for me and I had to wait maybe another two months before I got my refund back

[anyway]

Last night. I get a call. [its Leroy]..

He asks me what I'm doing this week, I tell him the same old stuff and that if he wants to come see them, he has to ask first and I have to be home when he comes. I really dont need drama for my family if Leroy decided to attempt to take them away, which I know he wouldn't. I don't know how the topic came about but we end up talking about filing our taxes. And just to make a long story short, He had the nerve to say that we should each claim one of them.

[WOW really?]

What a nimrod right? He's so immune to common sense, I feel bad for him and any future family he has. Anyway. He goes on saying, "All you do is change diapers and go to school. You dont even have a f&*$ing job!"

I kept silent. I just listened to him rattle on about how he's the one that feeds them and provides for them. Like seriously? Clearly, for leroy, changing diapers and feeding them is all that the kids need, set aside the fact that they need, teaching, discipline, love. He totally provides all that too.. hahaha. I hung up after all that.

Anyway. We'll see how this year goes with filing taxes. Hopefully he doesn't screw it up this year.

btw.. if he even thinks that I will pick up his call or reply to his text, he has another one coming. Just cause of that one call and what he thought was [right], he's just made things worse for himself. If he dares to come over, I will totally blabber on about his lovely comments on our phone call in front of my family. Awkward moments for leroy in my house makes him leave faster. lol [works every time]

Lately

Things are on point. It could be all the new year changes I've made both personal and in other aspects of my life. But everything is placed exact. Just where I need them and how I want them. What more could I ask for? 

I think I start to crumble down on things because things are going so well. Does that make sense? I guess I'm just used to the whole [Nothing stays good forever].. It could be cause of my past, it could just be me. 

All I know is that, as long as things stay this well, I will keep going. 

[moving along]

Tamara..

Oh dear. She has hit this point in her life where not only does she understand, but is now taking on the "independent" title. And she's taking it on full force. She knows what she wants and when she wants it. I'd have to say, this is a real [patience] test for me. I can get heated so fast, and when I look at her with how angry I can get, all I think about is, "she's just a kid".. I know that discipline goes hand in hand with childhood but sometimes I fear that I may ruin her childhood and may be asking her to grow up too soon. I want her to have the best childhood I can offer. I want her to do well and to be smart. But somethings to me need more time then others. 

Henele..

He's beginning to walk. Yes! Walk!! He can stand up on his own and just stand, he will take two steps then catch his self as he falls to the ground. I like to call it lazy, but I really am in no rush to teaching him to walk. Tamara started walking at 9-10 months. Henele is now 14 months. I figured he will walk when he wants to or is ready. 

One other thing, he has mastered the art of [climbing].. its sooooooo a boy thing! He pushes anything and everything he can climb up on to get to the [next level] and keeps going... It scares me. But I keep a good eye on him all day, he isn't going anywhere. lol

I love my kids. I love my life. I love!

Hope you guys do too. =) xoxo
