taxes

Today was spent attempting to do taxes myself at H&R Block.com. We've ALWAYS had them done. David has 4 part time jobs in addition to his regular job at the school. We have a LOT of deductions. I was doing great when all of a sudden we went from about breaking even to getting a MASSIVE refund b/c my mortgage interest and property taxes quadrupled on the summary page, but when I checked where I entered them... they were correct. I checked and rechecked and checked again. Signed out, signed back in... nothing was fixing it. I have NO IDEA why it did that. I emailed them... we'll see if they are of any help. Frustrating. For now I've give up. 6 hours on taxes was enough.
Here's a funny Abigail...
I served dinner on the school lunch trays I got off eBay. We ate on a blanket in the garage :) It really is CLEAN. When we were almost finished, David said "didn't mommy do good?" Abigail said "yes she did, look, she ate all of it." David and I looked at each other and busted out laughing with Abigail sitting there like "what?" We both thought it was so cute that she thought I did 'good' b/c I cleaned my plate... when he was referring to my getting dinner together. That is something I would expect Isaac to say. Noah had already thanked me for making such a great dinner (hot dogs, grapes, pears, chips... remember... taxes for 6 hours today) when I had the trays all lined up on the counter.
You have to wonder why you take the time to cook a time consuming meal to be eaten in the dining room when the whole fam was happy eating hot dogs on the floor of the garage...
