Can't Sleep

It's Sunday morning... 5:10 am
I can't believe I woke up this early.
I was sleeping and all of the sudden I woke up with this terrible sensation and only one thought:
I file the wrong SSN in my tax return!!
I can't believe it but apparently I did.
Here is the thing. I don't understand the tax return thing. My husband does it every year. And just like the year before and the one before that, I've been telling him to take them to a professional.
He refuses. And not only that, but he also procrastinates till the very last minute to file.
This Tuesday, he went to my office while I was in the middle of a VERY CRAZY-BUSY day and while my boss is giving me directions and the phone is ringing, he is holding the paper form for me to sign and put my SSN in it. Of course I had trouble remembering my SSN in the middle of all that so I put what I thought was the correct number and then run to grab the phone.
Then he run for his life to the Post Office believing it would be a very long long line.
I haven't thought about it until this morning. Now I can't get back to sleep, and my husband is dreaming like a little angel.
I went to one of my favorite websites to get rid of all my negative thoughts. It's beautiful.
I feel a little better now.
We will see tomorrow what we can do about this problem. I hate the government forms and bureaucracy. I have more chances of getting to learn and understand Chinese than understanding tax forms.
I'm going to wake up my husband. If I'm going to be deprived of my sleep he should suffer too. It's only fair. I know... I'm awful.

eek, so sorry about your SSN. That is exactly the kind of thing I would do, too! My husband procrastinates so much on our tax return that we end up paying penalties every year and he still refuses to go to a tax person!

Yeap!

We are still paying for the penalties from 2005 and 2006.

Thanks for stopping by, it actually makes me feel less bad to see that somebody understand what I'm feeling.
Hugs!
