Taxes, Uggh!

My spring break is this week. So far it hasn't been too much fun. I'm trying to get the not so fun stuff out of the way first. Saturday I worked on an assignment for my online class and did laundry. Sunday after church, Dwight & I did go and see "Horton Hears a Who" (which was cute) while we put the car in for an oil change. Monday, a physical therapist and occupational therapist came over to help assess Dwight. They are going to help us get a new wheelchair. They were really nice. I cleaned and organized and read books required for my class.

Today I did taxes. It was no fun at all (took me over 7 hours) and we owe money :-( for federal taxes. We get a refund with state taxes. When you combine the 2 we come out with a loss of $150. Well, I'm glad I was in no hurry. More bad news--I registered for summer classes and the cost has gone up $500 over last summer. The fees are huge and I don't get tuition reimbursement from my job for them. What is most aggravating is that the fees are for things like parking and the athletic center. I don't use these things because I only go on campus for a couple meetings. The classes are 90% online. I do hope we get quite a bit back from the economic stimulus package. I could use some financial cheering up. I'm trying not to think about the $1,000 of dental work Dwight needs.
