Taxes

Today we went to our accountant and got the tax bomb. We already owe not only an arm and a leg but the other ones as well. Uggg if you have never had CRA breathing down your neck you are lucky. It started a few years ago when they decided hubby didn't live in Ab it was NS, then he got audited again, then HR block screwed us by saying we were getting 10K back but then called a few days later saying we actually owed 15k - both were in accurate and our accountant is trying to fix that mistake. Then every year we owe (because hubby works overseas and doesn't pay into taxes through the year) and the cycle continues. This year is no exception and I owe too because I was off on matleave and got topped up by my company. So stressful. I think I will try and get a loan from the bank to avoid the CRA wrath. Not sure if we will ever catch up and get ahead. But I told hubby this is OUR year to catch up - and put all of our extra cash on these bills. The hard part is hubby is a BIG spender. He works hard and wants to play hard too- but I am hoping that he will commit to paying all of this off.

I'm so sad hubby left today. We had a fantastic visit - I felt like we were just dating again, it was so nice. I never want to wish time away, but generally a month flies by.
