Just one little wish...

With both working at church, Heath and I have done a decent job about driving together as much as possible. It is great to save on money and to have what might be our only alone time together that day. But sometimes we have appointments, work meetings or other demands that put us in a situation to drive separate.

Today was one of those days. I drove to the dentist in our little Toyota Corolla and he dropped the boys off in our Chevy Malibu. I had to leave early for another appointment, but would be picking up the boys afterwards therefore I needed to take the Malibu (car with car seats).

Before I go any further, I would like to remind you that there is a 10 inch difference between my height and Heath's height. Why is this a big deal? Follow along.

I get to the Malibu, put my bags and purse in the backseat, I zealously (because there was sunshine) get in the car as I am ready to rock out to some tunes.

KERPLUNK!!

Crap.

Adjust the seat up vertically, adjust the seat closer to the pedal

Adjust the rear view mirror

Adjust the side mirror

Adjust the head rest

Adjust the seat belt

Now before I get on my soap box about having one little wish, I want to take a second to recognize that YES I do know that by owning 1 car alone we are in the top 5% wealthy people of the world. And YES I know that we have 2 cars so that means we are SUPER fortunate.

BUT...if I could have ONE little tiny weeny wish, it would be to own a car in the near future that come swith pre-set settings. Person 1 and Person 2. I could hit one button and everything goes right to my personal settings. JOYOUS! I have done many mathematical equations in my grumbling of how much time of my life I waste changing all the settings. I am pretty sure, it is at least 1 year of life. Good enough reason to get some small bells and whistles on the next car, would you say?

I think it might be cheaper to buy extra car seats rather than a fancy car...Just teasing! You made me laugh:) ~Sandra
