Life wins this week :(

That's what keeps me going every day.

I truly am fortunate. We have 5 healthy children who all have grown up into fine young adults, a loving wife who stands shoulder to shoulder with me no matter what and we always find a way to get what we need, and even some things we just want. The thing that stands out the most about the week is after repeatedly talking to so many people I cant even begin to explain the frustration I felt trying to get a "person" at the IRS to treat me like a human being. Honestly I never disputed I owed the money, I filed the returns, and made payment arrangements. I followed their procedures for determining the "Maximum" amount they would take and budgeted our finances to accommodate the payments. I guess I could see if I was some millionaire hiding millions off shore, but the total amount owed was less than 3K.

I told the last lady, now I know how Al Capone felt, she hung up on me
