Big fat letter from the IRS!

...
OH NO! They're saying we owe them over $3K from tax year 2001, but I read the letter and it really doesn't make any sense. They said we took a deduction for the installation of a pay phone, which we definitely did NOT do -- hopefully it will be easy to clear up.

DH's accountant does our personal taxes, so I just faxed the letter and all the attachments off to him. His assistant called me to say she got it and that she will have him look at it and call us back next week. I am freaked out about it. DH told me not to freak out, it's only money, but seriously, $3K?!?!? that's too much to fit into the "only" category, as far as I'm concerned.

In other news, I took my BP at Sam's today and it was 88/53, my pulse was 89. This is another thing that I simply do not understand. Up until about 2 years ago, my BP was great -- 110/65, usually. For some reason, for the past 2 years, it has been averaging 20 points lower. None of my doctors seems to care about it, though, but I just want to know WHY it would be so low, and if it is a symptom of something else going on. Maybe it's related to all the other problems I've been having (thyroid, adrenals, etc). I guess generally it's better to have lower BP, anyway. It still annoys me. I like to know what's going on.

DS1 had a field trip to Stuffington Bear Factory today with his class. I gave him some extra cash so he could buy some clothes for his bear (or whatever animal he chooses). Last time they had a field trip, I didn't think to give any extra cash and he was upset when all the other kids were getting stuff and he couldn't. I hope he does OK today. He had a tendency to freak out in different-from-usual situations, but he has matured so much lately that I hardly even think of that anymore.

Started my Secret Santa shopping today, and will finish up this weekend, hope to get all my shipping out on Monday. AND I finally did all my photo orders in! Hallelujah! I did stay up till 1:30AM doing it, though. At least I wasn't just watching stupid TV. I made 6 digital orders through Ofoto (their prices have come way down, so now it actually makes sense to use them), and then I went through 6 rolls of film (going back to last May! Ack!) and ordered prints for various grandparents, godparents, and aunts and uncles. Today we went to Sam's and ordered everything... only 18cents a print, you can't beat that with a stick.

Almost time to pick up DS1 from school, then off to Border's for my "high maintenance mocha". I really *need* that coffee today!
