We have a 9th grader, 8th grader, and 1st grader…all at different campuses. It’s going to be a long year. Our oldest has to be at school by 7:20, the youngest by 8:20, and our other son by 8:30. We were doing great this morning until we got halfway to my daughter’s school and she says, “Hey, where’s my lunch box?” That was a “DOH!” moment. So, now I have to run her lunch box back up to her in a bit.

In other news…

Be sure and check out this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance, which is being hosted at Provident Planning’s website. Lots of submissions this week. Paul did a great job.
