Chris asked if he could drive the van to work today and leave the Jeep for me to drive. Sure, whatever, no problem. Ha. Ha! It hadn't occurred to me when I agreed to this that I've never actually driven the Jeep while chauffeuring the kids around before. It is oh-so-inconvenient.

I was a grouchy ladybug about the whole thing. Cursing that blasted Jeep, cursing Chris for buying the blasted thing, cursing the fact that Josh can't buckle his own seatbelt and I have to contort my body while climbing on the seats to buckle him in the back. Give me my roomy, easy van any day.

I'm fine now. I realize I was having a bit of a tantrum over nothing.

We will most likely have snow tonight and throughout the weekend.

Oh no, Jeeps are a pain in the butt. They're fun, but a pain in the butt.

We drove a Suburu Forrester home from the Orlando Airport after our trip to St. Louis. It was sooooooooooooooooooooo roomy, soooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable. I want one sooooooooooo bad. The Aveo isn't that bad at all, but we're sitting very close to each other. If I cross my legs in the passenger seat poor Mike hits my hand when he switches gears. It's a fantastic car for driving around town because the gas mileage is downright awesome, but I would love to have a wider roomier car. We drove a van (why we would need a van with no kids, I don't know) once - he had to rent it for work - whoa it was super awesome. Lots of buttons!

Everyone around here drives Subarus. Apparently Subarus do very well in snowy weather. I love them too.
