…a new car!

Under the label “Happy Ending”, we bought a new car yesterday to replace the van which was broken into on Saturday. The van was going to be too expensive to fix. Now it’s someone else’s problem.

We now have a GMC Yukon. It seats 9. The first comment from the little people was “Now we can have two more!” The car salesman’s jaw dropped. Yes, I went car shopping with all 5 children. I had to make sure that all the car seats fit and that the little people could get in and out easily, and that I could fold the seats down while holding a baby in one arm. I also brought the police report to get some sympathy. It worked, the dealership owner took off an additional $1500 from their “lowest price”. God bless the salesman who treated us well and was kind and understanding to me in my mentally frazzled state.

Honk and wave next time you see me on the road, I’ll be the one with the great stereo blasting Trout Fishing in America as I sing along at the top of my lungs.
