If I could type blogging articles directly from my brain while driving kids to and from soccer, school, meetings, dance, parties, and doctor appointments I would blog a book every day! However, technology is not quite that advanced and even if it were, with 5 children, I wouldn’t be able to afford this technology until after the kids were grown, educated, and married! By then, I won’t be able to remember the books I currently write in my head. So, for now, the 100+ miles I drive in the car escorting children (which, by the way, was my total for just yesterday and I didn’t leave a 15 mile radius of our home) will have to be spent just enjoying imaginatively writing books in my head and I will continue to dream of a day when I can actually sit and type them into a computer.
If I didn’t have a blended family of 7 with such busy lives, I would have a lot more time to write. Ironically…..I guess I wouldn’t have much to write about either!
Although I tire of driving children so often (and my wallet screams in gas price anguish), I know the time in the car is much appreciated, too. My 10 minute drive with only Shelby (my 6th grader) each morning is often our saving grace in maintaining our relationship; Tuesday Dance Practice Insanity is a great time to finish the entire week’s worth of kindergarten homework (times 2) for the little guys; and Skylar smiles and laughs like no other time when in the car alone with Mommy, top down, and with whatever crazy music she chooses to blare!
So, even though driving seems to be driving me crazy, I will choose to accept it and make the best of the moments it creates!

Today, I wish for you to enjoy
the moments in front of you,
without longing for them to change!
By the way, I promise to return to chore articles (just cannot promise when)! The next one will be my views on allowance. :)
