Well, I now have all four kids off to school!!! NO tears from anyone, not even me!!

Not sure who it was that said about it being hard to feed and clothe four kids. Yes, it is not fun. This is the first year that I actually had to school shop for all four. Youngest DD was only in preschool last year for three days per week. And one of those days was swim/gym, so she only needed to wear sweats, and a bathing suit that day. And than food wouldn't be so bad, but, no one can agree on what they each like.uuuuggghhhh
JOesbaby, not sure how old your oldest is, but, I have two teens, 17 and 16. Oh, yeah they were easy to clothe when Good will and Kmart were okay, but now, it has to be the stylish stuff. So if yours haven't hit 13 or 14 yet, be prepared. And I think teen girls tend to actually eat more than boys!!! Imagine that!!! I even got lucky this year and DD bought most of her own clothing. DS is 6'4" and 160 lbs, DD is only 5'3" and about 120 lbs!

Beckanoah, so sorry to hear of the passing of your grandmother. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Frugal??? I did stop at the gas station this morning and fill up the tank, after I dropped DD off at school. I hear gas prices are going to go up by the end of the day!! I would take the other vehicle out and fill that one up too, but, it has a broken windshield right now, and I don't have the $$$ to fix it right now, so I will avoid getting stopped by a cop, and having to have it fixed in "X" amount of days.
