Another week down....TGIF

So here we are....officially 25 weeks. 

The lack of space available for my stomach these days is really starting to get to me.  Last night I made breaded chicken breast and salad for dinner.  I couldn't even eat half before I felt like I was going to explode.  I wanted to finish it all so bad because it looked so good, but there were no earthly way it was getting down.  I am imagining it will only get worse from here.

On a brighter note, I had a situation with my tax return that seemed grim at first, but turned out the be amazing.  My husband and I filed our federal tax return at the end of January (once we received our W-2s) and felt like we were really ahead of the game.  After we filed I received a tax form from the University of Phoenix (where I had taken several classes for my teaching license).  I knew this form would help me get a tax credit on our return, but decided it probably wouldn't be worth it to amend the return, so I decided to forget about it.  Well, I received an e-mail from Turbo Tax telling me our return had been rejected by the IRS (something about our electronic pin numbers being incorrect).  After looking into the issue I realized I would need to fix the incorrect e-filing pin and refile.  Before I did that I updated our return adding the credit for my college classes.  It added almost $500!!  It was soooo worth it!  I guess this just goes to show that everything happens for a reason right? :)
