Ok, this is getting ridiculous...

Someone please blow away the dark cloud that has settled over our house, because this is getting ridiculous! The IRS called last week to let us know that we have been "Red flagged" because Chris filed his taxes twice. Of course, Chris did not file twice, so we called our H & R Block folks to see what the deal was. Chris talked to the IRS and the tax lady, and apparently someone else filed under Chris' name with his social number. What does this mean? The identity theft that Chris has battled since 2005 has re-emerged in a big way, we won't get our much needed tax refund until who-knows-when, and we have one more thing to worry about! AAAAAAAAAaaaahhhhh!!!

If anyone knows how to deal with this type of thing or has any advice, please let me know. Chris is meeting with Tax Lady tomorrow and they are going to call the IRS together to see what needs to happen next. I'm hoping the info this moron provided on "his" tax paperwork will lead us right to his door so we can have him prosecuted. What a *@)!)#*$&) misery!!!

In the mean time, we're still waiting to hear back from a couple of the places Chris interviewed (fingers crossed!!!!!). It sure would have been nice to have that refund check so we could feel a little more secure right now, but hey, that would be just too easy, wouldn't it.

I would say it's about time for the Nicholson Family to have some super Good Luck!!! Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket... Will definitely be praying for an end to this unlucky streak we've been on. Don't worry, I do not forget how many blessings we have regardless of this rough patch. We have a caring and supportive family, the most beautiful, hilarious, and charismatic little boy alive, a roof over our heads and love for eachother. Ah, I feel better already just having listed those things.

Love,
