Last day of my favourite month. Okay, I do really like October because of Thanksgiving and Hallowe'en.

I'm excited about starting our envelope system tomorrow. I took DH's spending money out of the bank today so he's set for the month. His paycheque was slightly more than we had thought, so I think any extra money that comes our way will all go into our emergency account because I've planned for everything that I can think of. I am very curious to see how it all turns out.

I only spent $2.28 today. Dd needed a new flashlight and rain poncho for camping this weekend. Luckily, the dollar store had both.

Spent the bulk of the day at the school helping with hot lunch. I will be working from 5:00-midnight tonight and I have a meeting at 9:00am tomorrow (I was really hoping to sleep in!), but it shouldn't go past 11:00. I've been looking on the web for suggestions on the best way to ask for a raise. My job changed about a year ago and I did get a pay raise, but last month I was given more responsibilities and expectations are higher and I want my pay to reflect that. The problem is, if I ask for it and am told no, then I don't think I really want to stay there. That's all fine but I feel caught between loving my job and being taken advantage of. I guess I'll put my request in writing and see where it goes from there.
