I'm looking forward to October, just because Sept was such a money drain.

Today was payday, so I'll consider it October because my budget starts today for the month.

The oldest one needed to be at school at 7:00 for a study group on the Constitution. That meant that the rest of them needed to take the bus. They've become a spoiled lot, being driven every day. However, the bus comes at 7:11. At 7:09 (it's only a 1/4 block walk to the corner/stop), I'm listening to "It's SO cold" "Will you walk us?" "Where is a sweatshirt with a hood?" "That is MY sweatshirt that you're wearing." "Do we have gloves?"

OK, my root canal pain is over and done, and now I'm plagued with a COLD! Drippy nose, popping ears, sore throat. And I'm on amoxicillin for any infection that might be there.

Well, off to don on some warm clothes and head to the store.

For the record, my family has eaten through every morsel of food that was consumable. We have one apple and a handful of mini cucumbers left, and two muffins from breakfast yesterday. I am officially Mother Hubbard.
