I think we can deduce from this that the GMC vans of the 1990s were so reliable, there are enough of them still around for the parts of this one to be in demand. Maybe. It certainly worked a long time for us.Sharon L.

When the going gets rough, remember that in a few years it will be a fond, and hopefully funny memory. <br /><br />ADVENTURE!

I wonder how much it was costing you to drive to church? $18 seems like, well, um, too much money to go to church. (No offense, church!) <br />I also don't let my kids wait alone at the stop -well the almost 13 year old is a different story - but the younger two we walk in the morning & pick up every afternoon. The driver waits for 5 minutes if we aren't there - then moves along and we get a call from dispatch (which has actually happened once due to a problem with my van). They went round the route and our driver brought them back because she is a kind and protective soul - if someone grouchy at times. <br /><br />Hoping the kids become industrious little walkers /stroller riders for you!Karen Baynehttp://www.needsnewbatteries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23483482.post-57764475138432002332012-03-10T13:09:03.931-05:002012-03-10T13:09:03.931-05:00On the plus side, no more hassling with car seats....On the plus side, no more hassling with car seats. And my kids love public transportation. On the downside-- getting anywhere takes sooooooo long.

I also believe that your children will benefit exponentially more from all the adventures they will have with YOU, on the bus, than they would spending the day without you, at a daycare, so you could earn extra money for a new car. :) Children need their mamas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23483482.post-56001583768371400802012-03-10T02:16:58.419-05:002012-03-10T02:16:58.419-05:00Sigh.
