What's wrong with me?

Today's lesson: I am human.

I was so focused on dealing with the IRS this morning and packing the right documents for my meeting with the attorney on Tuesday that I forgot to pack the keys to 1137. THE 1137. The home of my youth where I'm sleeping tomorrow night. Where there are no parents to come to the door when I ring the doorbell in the middle of the night. This will either be a major inconvenience to me - or to my son.

It's stressing me out. I'm not the type of person who forgets my keys. When I first realized (and even now, hours later), I was beating myself up. My husband doesn't get it. He's not the best pa let, he can be forgetful. In fact, he's probably shouting s big secret hurrah. He's been telling me I'm human. I can forget. Alas... I'm more like him.

Another lesson today which I still need to verify is that we might be able to waive minimum distrubutions from Mom and Dad's IRAs without penalty if we tell our story correct. I thought the IRS form needed to be filed by 12/31. I learned today that it needs to be filed in conjunction with the 1040. I'm hoping its next year's 1040 and not the 2013 I just filed. I hope.

Okay, I'm human. And I still have a lot to learn. Next post from 1137.
