Well I did get my stimulis check. As many of you know I do owe some taxes and wasnt expecting to get this check so was I ever surprized when I got my $1200 in the mail. Now I was shorted $300 but was told it was an error and I will get it in July. Now I still owe taxes but I needed the cash more anyways. So now it feels great im all caught up on my bills and am so ready for a new baby in my life. And best of all my ferret Timmy who got out for two days returned this morning. Such a great week already. So anyone else want to talk about there day/week wether good or bad ill listen?

Oh Congrats Minnie, It does feel good when you are able to have all your bills paid up isn't it? such a load off ones shoulder. I have had a pretty good last couple of weeks myself. Our stimulus went to medical and dental bills. But they are paid and off our backs. I can't seem to ask for anything more!

Good for you! That is great that you got your stimulis check. I also got a letter yesterday in the mail saying that I would be getting a stimulis check also...I pray that I do get it. It would be nice to be able to go purchase all my kids school supplies and school clothes way in advance, and to not have the stress of worrying about how we are going to afford to buy all three of them school supplies and clothes this year. Also I would love to be able to take my kids (and hubby of course) on a small weekend vacation somewhere. I am excited, I hope that check comes. The letter said something about the 13th, I am not sure if I get it that day or that is the day that it will be sent out. I hope I get it that day, that would be nice!! Anyhow, congrats to you, glad things are going great for you! I can't wait to hear about your new bundle of joy, best wishes to you. =)

What great news, you are full of good news this morning. I had no idea Timmy got out but so glad to hear he come back home. So far nothing going on around here with me. Just another boring, lonesome day. It is nice to get caught up on bills isn't it and now you can really enjoy your upcoming baby girls birth. Continue to have a wonderful day and the rest of the week ahead.

Congratulations on being caught up. It is such a nice feeling when the bills are paid current. I remember the dragging feeling whenever I was behind on paying the bills and the dread of the next bill with the interest added, etc. And congratulations on your friend's return. My week has been a combination of good/bad. Bad in that I shorted myself on sleep and ended up freaking out about house repairs. It was a needless freakout resulting from the sleep deprivation. The house noises were a result of high winds and heavy rains. My good is in finally getting my mind re-orientated to a different way of living. Being a home owner instead of an apartment dweller. Having my time completely to myself to do whatever I want 24/7 (for now). Being able to get up when I wake up instead of when the alarms go off. Being able to watch the grass grow and cutting it whenever the mood moves me. Planning where I will put my annuals/perennials. Lots of good. I like it!

Owning your own home for the first time is so great. I grew up in an apartment all my life in fact I got my first house before my parents. And it was such a great and overwhelming feeling.

Wow I am surprised you got the stimulous check. As a tax preparer we had a lot of questions come up about the stimulous package. Everyone in my office wondered whether the checks would be held if the client owed taxes or child support or student loans well now we know in some cases the answer is no. We figured that the stimulous would be applied to what was owed and anything left would be sent to the client like in the case of refunds and owed child support but guess we were wrong. Enjoy it. I didn't qualify for the stimulous so that is a bummer. Also the IRS was supposed to seize my ex husbands tax refund for back owed child support...they didn't either. My week has been rocky due to problems with exhusband quitting his job again. But maybe it will brighten up.

There was a lot of confusion about the stimulous checks even the IRS was confused LOL. We did our best to explain things to our clients but it was hard when we ourselves were not clear on things.

Goodeal. I heard about you getting the check yesterday actually from your mom. Wel my weeks been really slow here as far as myLotting. I just have not felt much up to doing anything here. Did some more transplanting of plants etc around the house. Will be doing more of that the rest of the week as well when I feel up to it. This weather sucks big time lately. At least yesterday it was sunny and warm. A chilly wind but sunny still. I am glad Timmy is back and also it's good to hear jellybean is still around the neighborhood and being fed etc. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM DADDY!!~

That's wonderful news! I keep waiting and waiting for my check to arrive. So far this week has been just "ok". I was home sick with a stomach virus yesterday so that wasn't much fun! Back to work today...again not much fun. LOL. Maybe that check will be in my mailbox this afternoon and my week will change for the best!! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Reading about your good week has brought a smile to my face - and it's been a while since I have really smiled lately! It's been awful with sick children for the last week since we got home from our week away - nice way to come home to hubby isn't it...the children getting sick the next day! Our nearly 3 year old has pneumonia & our 17 month old has a viral flu but the youngest isn't improving so I am off to a different doctor! It's been never ending with them getting sick since the start of May! to top it off hubby & I have caught the flu too! But thankyou for making me smile and I am happy for your good week!

Well my week has started off great! My bf and i are intending to get married in the feature, so he has some land in the country that we started cleaning up and planting on it. We started Saturday, I'm excited because we are going to build our new home there and what not. Even though a neighbor tried to get his son to go squat on our land, he has now backed down. I don't like when people try to take what you have, that's stealing. he may be vex over it but that's his problem. It's ours.

Congrats! I'm not expecting a check, everyone keeps telling me that I'll get one because I qualify for it. But I have a current unpaid student loan. I would get either $300 or $600, and my student loans are more than either of those amounts. I'm expecting them to take that money to help offset the loans. So I'm not banking on getting the stimulus, so I won't be disappointed if I don't get one. Even if I do get one, I wouldn't get mine until like July. I have very high last 2 digits in my SS#.
