Default text function?

I have the following formula that totals data for multiple tabs. Each tab is
a month and each tab is set-up the same.

=SUM('Sep-09:Jan-09'!C9,'Sep-09:Jan-09'!E9,'Sep-09:Jan-09'!G9,'Sep-09:Jan-09'!I9,'Sep-09:Jan-09'!K9,'Sep-09:Jan-09'!M9,'Sep-09:Jan-09'!Q9,'Sep-09:Jan-09'!S9,'Sep-09:Jan-09'!U9)

The formula works but I have 196 rows where the formula is used. I
currently do a find/replace when I add a new month or want to look at a
quarter. I would like the formula to reference two cells (b3 for what is now
Sep-09 and b4 for what is now Jan-09) and be able to type the sheet name in
those cells to get the period.

Also open to suggestions on a better formula.
