Haha! All I can do is be thankful I am use to things not going as planned and I have developed flexibility. My tax lady just called to tell me bad news. She made it sound like she was really sorry to have to tell me we owed so much. When she told me, I heard $58. I cheerfully said, "Oh that's not too bad. It could be way worse." She then said, "Well you sure are unusual. Normally when I tell people they owe blank thousands of dollars, they don't respond so positively." That's when it hit me I had misunderstood. I remained calm and processed the new total in my mind. Then I must have some how sent those shock vibes to Nathan, Haha, because he messaged me and said, "I woke up and felt you needed to talk." I broke the news to him and he was not a bit upset and said he was kinda expecting it. I guess I had delusions of grandeur or something and normally I am the math person and have it already figured. Not this time! He did suggest that instead of spending the money for him to come home for leave in May, we pay off the taxes before the bill even gets to us because IRS interest rates are ridiculously high for payment plans. He said if we do this then he can come home early and we will have more money for a really nice vacation instead of trying to do two vacations. Whereas I am disappointed we won't see him in May, I do believe he is right. And on that note, if the BFF retreat is closer to the end of July or even in August, he might actually be home for that! Just throwing that out there as you plan the dates. Maybe we can turn this lemon into lemonade. Hint hint super strong hint. Okay I am begging for the consideration for having the retreat closer to August, Haha. On a side note I would like to share my son's recent artistic representation of a polygamist family. I looked at it and said, "Ho? Please explain this son?" He said, "No mom they are saying 'Oh'." I told him, "You spell that with the 'o' before the 'h'. He corrected his mistake. I was quit relieved to know he didn't think daddy was bringing ho's home. It is also a good sign he is feeling better enough to draw. I can see a decline in his ability. He is the artistic one of the children and his art is usually at a higher level than this. I am sure this will correct its self after the brain inflammation subsides. I just thought you all might get a kick out of this.
