I'm ready to go back to work. I've had enough of a summer vacation. It can't be because of the price of gas, groceries, or the braces my child is getting. I about fainted when they told me my part would be $1800.00 for DD to wear them for one year. See, she has the perfect case from what the doctor says and all she has to do is close the spaces between her teeth. She won't have to wear headgear or rubber bands to fix any bite issues. All these things have put a big dent in my budget. Yes, I budget. I'm trying to be a tight wad but it's kinda hard when you have all these extra expenses. I'm done bitching........
