If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck.

So, much like the rest of America we have been looking forward to our stimulus check. While it wasn't going to be for fun stuff it was going to substantially increase our savings for moving. WAS, is the operative word in that sentence.

When Jason got out of the Army they over paid him. Every once in awhile they will send us a letter and I will send them fifty bucks, but to be honest it's totally not on my radar. They didn't bother with our 2006 or 2007 tax returns, but decide to suck up our stimulus check. Yup, all 1800 of it. I can file to get part of it back since the check is for both of us and the debt is only Jason's. I have have to wait for the papers from the IRS to arrive, then I have to mail them back and wait 8 weeks. 8 weeks! We'll be in Kansas by then! What good will it do!! So the buckle down is about to begin!! We planned on saving as much as we could anyway, but now every penny will count!! Agh!!

Sounds like a typical Army move! Sorry to hear about it. If it makes you feel any better, we never got money for the kids - we only got ours.

I thought to get a copy you would have to have it moderated.

I am so sorry. So much for economic stimulus, huh? I don't think it's going as Bush planned.
