Carpooling Really Sucks!!

You know, you don't appreciate having your own wheels until they break!

I am now on day seven of carpooling with my DH. Let me tell ya! It is not going well.

I want to say the heck with the old heap of junk and buy a new one... however, my bank account does not agree with this scenario.

As a rule, we are the family who is always rushing around. Late for EVERYTHING. Always pushing the kids out the door. That's a typical day with us going in two different directions.

Now, we're even worse and getting grumpier as each moment passes because we have to wait for one more person!

AND to top it all off... there's construction going on in our tiny little town on the main street that everyone has to drive on! Now everyone is grumpy... and late.

So, the laws of attraction say, you must remain positive...

I'll try to think about how nice those roads will be once they are fixed and how nice my newly fixed van will drive over them.

AND I also have to think about how the sun is going to start shining the week we go on vacation because, as we are well aware here in our little corner of the world, we are now on day 19 of rain/mist/showers. DH says only 21 to go... perhaps we should start building our Arc??

Construction + Carpooling = Not a fun adventure

I'm kind of getting side-tracked... getting back to carpooling.

The worst thing about me having to drive DH's vehicle is the fact that he owns his own business and therefore has fancy stickers all over his truck...

Does he not realize that with the construction/driving kids around town/work, I am on the roads practically all day long... I am prone to a little road rage and have been known to wave frantically/yell/honk at people who cut me off... you can't do this in a truck with fancy stickers all over it without people knowing who you are.

I've now started wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses while driving so that everyone thinks its DH behind the wheel, not me!

At least when I'm driving my minivan... there's another one around town that looks just like mine... there's a chance that the crazy person behind the wheel, isn't me!
