Yesterday I tried to withdrawal funds from my checking account to pay the nanny. I was told I had insufficient funds. WHAT??? I don't have any money? That's right, the ATM replied. You're flat broke and no money in this machine has your name on it. Don't ask again.
So I walked back to Special K's car (since mine is getting the dent knocked out and repainted) and called to see how many checks had bounced. Four, the man told me. Hmmmm. What's the damage? $224, he replied. Okay. I'll go right home and tell Husband. He'll be SOOOOO excited to hear the news.
Special K is a pro at bouncing checks and told me all about when I should deposit a check to cover my @#* for the next few days. I don't think I've bounced a check for over 15 years. Maybe I've never done it. Luckily the Pro was with me.
Meanwhile, the Scary Storm came last night and dropped a bit of rain and a few gusts of wind on us. In West Texas winds of 50 mph were common. Here a wind gust like that causes absolute panic. But that's because it knocks down every tree within three feet of a power line. So I've had sporadic power at the house today. Where is FEMA when you need them? Do I qualify for disaster relief? I need to pay a few bills and have INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. . .

I'm really sorry about you having no money and about the scary storm, but I'm afraid your troubles don't hold a candle to your 3rd from the youngest sister. She's being such a good sport about losing everything to Katrina that I'm doing the mourning for her. Just thank heaven they're safe.
Well, not much sympathy from the maternal corner, huh? Next time you should include a) a real car wreck; b) blood; c) another form of tragedy. Then she'd be sorry.
At least that's how we thought when we were 13 or so, right?
I demand to know wrote that last comment. You're grounded!
