This week

Early this week we received a letter from the IRS saying we owed $11,000+ dollars. I felt sick. When I started reasoning again, I thought it just couldn't be right. Jay came over a couple nights later and I had left out a $79 interest payment but I hadn't filled in the part where it asked if we had sold stocks. Our investments went from American Express to Ameriprise and I hadn't clicked on the right box so the IRS thought it was all income. Acutally there was a loss on one so we should get about 260 back. There were also two other pension payments that Turbo Tax put in wages and salaries and the IRS couldn't find it apparently. I have the paperwork ready to go in the mail tomorrow so hopefully all will be well.
I believe it was Thursday that I went out to go from Calapooia to Albany Options. The car wouldn't start--wouldn't even turn over. I called Dad and he picked me up and took me to the other school, picked me up again and 5 and went back to Calapooia with jumper cables. We still couldn't get it started. We talked about getting a tow truck. Dad said: "Let me try" so he get in, puts in it PARK and starts it right up. I guess the whole time it wasn't in PARK. Yikes!! I'm glad we didn't call the tow company.
Fathers Day is next Sunday. I know Grandpa would appreciate a card or call. I think I resented my mother always saying things like that to me but I just can't help myself. I love you all. Have a good week.
Love MOM

Mom,
I did something like that they other day. I pulled into Miss. Carol's driveway to pick Emma up from preschool. I put on the emergency brake and left the car running to pop out and get Emma. When I got back in the car, I realized it was still in drive - oops. I was grateful I put the emergency brake on.
