It's been getting a new transmission for over a week and I think that was the reason for some really cranky moments over the last couple of days.
Between the cost of fixing a car we were thinking about selling anyway, sharing just one car between two drivers and that one car being the truck I'm not comfortable driving, it's been a pain.
Much improved attitude today.
Now it's time to start thinking about what to replace the van with - we're not waiting for this transmission (the third in this car!) to go out...
And we've pretty much outgrown the minivan stage.
- There won't be any more family trips where we need to spread the kids out so they don't cause serious harm to one another (unless you count the occasional 15 minute trip to a restaurant during the holidays.)
- No more field trips with 5 unruly 4th graders eating snacks, making rude noises and complaining that they're about to be sick.
- It's been months since anyone sat in the back-back seat
- The truck is the obvious choice when it comes to transporting large objects.
It's definitely time for something a little smaller and greener.
