New car whaaat!!!!

The end of being the unhip soccer mom, and neither of my kids even play the sport, is here!!! We traded in the minivan for this brand spankin new VW Jetta!!! What a great trade. I will miss the doors that open at the push of the button and the built in entertainment center, heck even the fact that the kids could sit on the potty in the way back without ever having to step foot outside. But I think the joy I have towards this new car more than out weighs the sorrow of loosing the minivan. Though I will not have the pleasure of driving this fine piece of machinery very often since there was a very practical reason behind getting a car. Dave will be taking this to work to save us on gas money and I will drive the explorer. However I have a very strict policy.....NO FIRE GEAR IN THE NEW CAR!!! Case in point this morning.....it was pouring down rain and they had a fire. He came home soaked, stinky and dirty. Dave, being the very wise man that he is, agrees with me that the car is no place for his dirty gear. Yes we are now a little more yuppifed with an SUV, sedan, son and daughter, dogs, fenced in yard, and me staying home. I guess the next few things to work on to be the complete stereotypical yuppie family is a lawn boy, a housekeeper, a freezer full of bon bons, and an umbrella in my drink.....
