How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Grieving

in Uncategorized on 06/12/09

She was so beautiful.
She was always there when I needed her.
Helped me every day.
She helped me to carry my heavy loads.
Protected my loved ones.
She kept me warm and safe.
Allowed the sun to shine into my life.
She entertained the kids.
Never let me down.
Got me through some turbulent weather.
Safely guided me home.
She never let me get lost.

I miss my gorgeous 7 seater Ford Lincoln Navigator with automatic lift tail gate, heated seats, moon roof, built in entertainment system, 20″ spoke chrome aluminium wheels and GPS.
Sigh.
If you’re going to survive life in the suburbs, a ridiculously small 2 door just won’t do.

**This ridiculous little 2 door sports car is going back..hunt for a new SUV is on!

      You crack me up!! When I saw the title I got nervous that you lost a loved one (which I know you did. A comfy car is a must have for moms)

      And your “Confessions” post was too funny!!!!!!!!!!

      I would be lost without my 7 seat minivan that is our camping/skiing/sports mobile. I hope you find a nice SUV.

      I love SUV’s. I would be grieving, too, if I’ll have to give that up. Glad to know that you’re getting another one!

      I dream of having a smaller car…but I also have to fit at least 7 bodies in all the time….more if I could.
      Good luck, Suz

      Oh dear..perhaps I should have added that the ridiculous 2 door is going back..hunt for a new SUV is on!!

    11. Me says

      a small 2 door is definitely a super downgrade. I would be grieving as well. My sympathy.

      But just think of how much money you’ll save in gas!

      I miss my Expedition, too!
      We had 4 in 13 years and they kept us safe. We had to say goodbye this Feb….Now since the big kids are older and we were downsizing, we drive around dh’s Infiniti…
      But it truly is nothing like our Expedition..
