Today was oh so very busy. I’ll not bore you with the details, but I saved big bucks today hitting each item I needed with at least 50% off. I am talking the mundane stuff like toilet paper and parchment paper and boring household items and a few Christmas goodies that shall remain unshared because of spying eyes that lurk around.

We are now, again, a one car family. I so love that we have been blessed with hand-me-down vehicles so many times, but can I be frank and honest. I miss my van. I really, really, really miss having a second car than can hold most of us. It is so tiring to have to plan each day around who has more children at what hour and when we need to swap it up and if either one of us has to go to The Next Town Over (36.2 miles one way not including errands/classes), which is usually more than once a week then that person gets the Suburban no matter how many children are still at home and the one who stays home is most likely stuck at home because the other car will not hold the ones left behind. Yeah, I know. #firstworldproblem #largefamilyproblem #iwantaflexfuelcrossover It is actually not too bad most days. In the summer it is atrocious because the second car has no air conditioner and down here in the south it gets triple digits in June and in a car it is worse even with the windows down. At least we have the 2nd car and for that I am grateful. Truly, I am.
