Minivan Driving Momma

I'm a minivan driving momma. I do so by choice. Yes, that's right....I'm a 25 year old mother of 3 sporting a minivan. I know...you’re jealous. You must ooh and ahh as our green monster rolls by with screaming fighting toddlers inside. She (why I think my minivan is a girl is beyond me) is always dirty and this terrible shade of green. With dirty gray interior she is stuffed with broken crayons, wipes, extra diapers, nursing pillow, paper towels, 2 strollers, 3 car seats, and a heap of crumbs for good measure. One might question why I love her so. I suppose I relate to her. Often I go 2 days before I manage to find myself in the shower. You will find me dressed in what often seem to be pajamas with hair pulled up and not a stitch of make-up (god I hate that stuff!!!). Even though my appearance isn't always pleasing I'm reliable. Each morning I awake and care for 3 children. Each day they are feed, clothed, and cared for...no sick days here. My minivan may not be the most pleasing thing to look at, but she gets me where I need to go (and even places I would rather not go) without a complaint. She patiently waits for her oil changes, never complains when I wait an extra month or two before replacing those much needed tires, or that I don't always keep up on regular maintenance and deals with the fact her interior is filled with toddler and baby mess. She lives with her seats being removed rather frequently because of needing to carry items for husband's work or large toys. Plus, she lives in this freaking heat each and every day with temps near 100 degrees and not a single complaint. Now that I think about it, I wish I was more like my minivan. She's very much like a mommy and she not only never complains but she seems to enjoy it...all of it. Time for a new resolution! Take better care of my beloved van...because she deserves it and just maybe, so do I. What do you think of your car???
