THE MINI VAN!

Lets talk about the MINI VAN-

I have recently turned 30.. Yes, the DIRTY 30!!! I wasn't looking forward to it at all... I made everyone around me MISERABLE. I am actually quite surprised that I still have a family to come home to! I am sure that there are a lot of people that go through the same things I did. I wondered what the hell happened to all the time... When I was in high school 30 seemed OLD... now I look in the mirror and wonder is 30 really so old? Do my kids think I am old? OMG I see my mother! Is my butt supposed to be there? Hmmm.... Anyway, so to top off all of my anxiety about getting old. My husband decides we need to get a new car, so we start looking at SUV's. Hang on let me tell you what we had been driving. Red Trans Am with racing stripes... Very pretty, very loud. But not very comfortable for the kiddos. Chevy Colorado- Very pretty. But the warranty was almost up and we had already had it back to the dealer 6 times in 2 years. SO Anyway we start looking at bigger and better. Then the hubby finds an UPLANDER. Tells me it looks like a SUV but is a MINI VAN. This isn't something a girl wants to even think about when she is in a crisis over being 30. I threw a fit, a kicking and screaming kind of fit. It has everything you can imagine in it. DVD, Hard drive, remote start, heated seats yadda yadda yadda. But on the outside guess what it has- The characteristics of a mini van. No mistaking it for a SUV. This is a-The kids will be safer, more comfortable, highly entertained and my ass will be warm -soccer mom MINI VAN. So needless to say He won- I lost and I am now driving a mini van. But I still have the TA :) On my Birthday my mom sent me a card that read 30: It's always funny till it happens to you.....

True, so true....

On the upside, 30 isn't that bad. The van isn't that bad either... but to all of you out there.... I say it is a SUV- so it is an SUV! UNDERSTAND??
