Supper
Chef's salad and Italian bread pepperoni pizza
Sweet Italian Bread .70 cents
topped with fat free ranch dressing .25 cents
24 slices pepperonis .50 cents
1 cup shredded casserole cheese $1.00
Chefs salad
bag of salad $1.50
pkg sliced honey turkey .59 cents
pkg sliced ham .59 cents
homemade croutons- Free
1 cup casserole cheese $1.00
4 medium hard boiled eggs .40 cents
fat free ranch dressing .25 cents
shredded carrots (leftover)- Free
Total cost: $6.53
Serves 4 slices of Italian bread pizza
and
about 8- 1 cup salads
Cost for 4 servings of pizza & 4 small salads for supper
and 4 servings of additional salad for lunch tomorrow
so 2 meals at a cost of .81 cents per person.
I know pizza is probably not the best healthy
food for ya. Having one slice along side
a salad I wouldn't think would be too bad
as opposed to eating about 4 slices
of pizza in one sitting.
You can't deprive yourself of food
that you love to eat. You'll only
crave them more. But when you eat
those foods in small amounts every once
in awhile then your craving goes away.
I am glad to announce that my
one son who wouldn't touch
salad with a ten foot pole actually
ate a half bowl of chef's salad tonight!!
And I actually told him all he
had to do was eat a couple bites
to try it!
I feel like I am making a little
progress of trying to get the kids to
eat foods that they say they do not like.
A little progress is better than no progress.
Columbus got about 4-5 inches of snow yesterday.
Christopher shoveled our walks again today.
Good exercise for him.

This movie is HILARIOUS!!

I'm having a hard time trying
to understand our income taxes.
I guess I don't get why we're getting
back about $1400 less than last year.
(I calculated wrong the other day
thinking it was less but after looking
through paperwork this is the correct amount)
The pay was around the same only
a $158.00 increase from last year.
We also added in the $2000 prize money
I got. And the guy said we treat that money
just like it was earned money that it
has no special prize tax with it.
If that extra $2,000 caused the
difference of $1400 in our tax refund
it would be like I only got $600
as the prize if you look at it that way.
Would $2,000 make that much of
a difference in income to receive
about $1400 less than last years refund???
We don't claim any dependents (file single)
so they take out the greatest amount
in taxes each paycheck.
I don't understand taxes and that's
why I have someone else do it for us.
But for some reason this year something
doesn't seem right and that is why
I am questioning things right now.
Then the guy at H&R block says,
don't worry about city taxes, we won't
do those because more than likely
they took out the correct amount.
I spoke up then! While, like I said
I don't know much about taxes,
The IRS has come back to haunt
us years later to say we didn't
have the correct amount taken out
in city taxes and we had to pay that difference.
I flat out told him to double check
it just to make sure.
The guy at H&R block didn't seem
with it. It was someone we hadn't
dealt with before. Usually we've
been dealing with one lady there
for the past couple of years.
When he has to get up from the desk
and leave us sitting there to question
someone else about our taxes,
then that makes me start wondering.
So do we go back to this guy at
the end of February since he started
our taxes and is supposed to finish
them then. Or do we request the same
lady we've been dealing with for the
past couple of years?
I am seriously thinking about canceling
our appointment with the one guy!
---------------------------
Oh yeah, I wanted to say
I got good news today.
While I got the bill for the ambulance
ride yesterday that was almost
$700, today the insurance sent
a letter to cover most of that expense
except for about $58 give or take.
Lol, I can deal with that amount.
Heck that is less than what they
charged me for mileage to the hospital.
My head is hurting trying
to figure stuff out.
I'm still pondering over
that $1400 difference in our tax refund!!
That's a lot of money not to have.
I still hear the guy telling us
it was because of the extra $2000
that, that was the reason for it.
So if you make an extra $2000
they tax $1400 of it?????
AHHHHHHH I don't understand!!!!
Ok one more thing since I'm on a roll.
Why does last year's tax statement
include bank fees as part of what
we paid to have our taxes done.
We didn't get any rapid refund.
So are they charging us to have
a check deposited into our bank account.
If so this is ridiculous. This is our money
they owe us. Why charge us to give us
back our money that was loaned to
them in the first place by all tax payers.
Head's spinning so will head to
bed. I hate not being knowledgeable
in taxes.
