Can't Sleep

It's 12:15 in the morning. I can't sleep, so I thought I'de write a bit.

I was watching the Osbourne's on MTV. That show always makes me glad for what I have and who I am.

My nephew was over today. He was a little fussy. He kept wanting more bottle. I'de say he's going through a growth spurt, but at three months I guess your always having a growth spurt.

Today was a little better than yesterday. I found out I can hopefully deduct some things from keeping Austin. Right now, because I kept him in my home, I owe $600.00 in Self Employment Tax. It's because they pay me and nothing goes to Social Security and FICA. I thought I was going to not have to pay anything this year until I found out about the stupid self employment thing. I made so little that when I figured out my income tax the standard deduction for being single and the itemized deduction canceled out my income so I would not even have to actually file if it weren't for the $600.00 in the blank down towards the bottom of my tax form. I figured it up 5 times in the hope that I had missed something. However, today I found out I should be able to deduct everything I bought fo him (stroller to have at my house, snacks, some toys etc...) so hopefully that will bring it down some. I don't have $600.00. I'm pretty sure the IRS doesn't care that I don't have the money.

Well, I'm going to try to get some sleep. I may just lay there, but at least I'll be resting.
