No Shame in My Game!

Getting the kids in and out of the car can be tiring especially when you are running errands all day long.  I still remember the reaction of my family and friends when they found out that I traded my SUV for a minivan.  Yes people I said a "minivan".  "Oh my God you have a minivan" was my cousin's reaction and I remember his laughter to this day.  But guess what, he was laughing no more when all 8 of my family members rode comfortably in my minivan for late night dinners and long trips.

There is no other car/SUV out there that can make me trade in my minivan.  The joys of a minivan driver are great.  I am able to press a button to open the back doors so my girls can hop in without me having to give them a push.  I remember those heavy SUV door days!!  and I swear I will never go there again.

The only bad thing about driving a big van is that my kids feel the need to furnish their car seat area as if they are planning to spend the night in the back seat.  I have gotten in a habit of weekly cleaning when I pretty much take everything out of the back seats and bring it back in the house.  This morning as I was cleaning the back seat, I found chex mix snack, glass of water, stuffed Dora, stuffed dog, 10 coloring books, box of colors, candy wrappers, 4 pair of shoes, etc.  I was going to put a picture up but I was way too embarrassed!  I am sure some of you are feeling disgusted but honestly I have peeked into other minivans parked next to me at parks/malls and they are just as crowded.

Either way, like my title states..No shame in my game!  God bless all minivans!
