Be careful what you wish for...

I hesitate in posting this but here goes. Having been without the van this week, I realize that I don't HAVE to go anywhere nearly everyday. It's ridiculous! Do we really need to "do" something everyday? NO! Now obviously a few trips to Walmart and Target would have been a lot cheaper than the $800+ it cost to get the van fixed but the checkbook speaks for itself otherwise. Why do we always need to be on the go? There's plenty to do right here at home. Does this mean I'm not going to drive the van? NO! But I'm going to try driving it a whole lot less! I'll get off of my soapbox now!
