What a day!
There are several things that I really dread: having an expensive home repair; getting a letter from the IRS telling me that I owe them more money and getting a frantic phone call that one of my kids is hurt.
Today, I got all three! Our water heater went out and needed to be replaced this morning. That one was good for $500+. Then, we got a letter from the IRS that said we didn't pay enough tax in 2002 on my freelance income. That one is going to cost $450. Finally, Miles, who is hobbling around on a broken foot, trips because of his cast and falls on his arm. Fortunately, there was no break; however, his elbow was dislocated and he was in quite a bit of pain for a while.
With a little under 2 hours left in the day, I'm hoping all of the drama is over.
