Saving gas

So, it's been two months since I've posted anything on here.  Not that you've noticed.  *wink wink*  But, we've been taking the bus WAY more than normal so we can save gas and money. 

Now that the car ride is only a few minutes, our conversations are more  along the lines of "mom, we've only got 3 minutes to make the bus.  If it's 5 minutes until we get there, we're going to be late.  Can you drive faster?"

yeah, they don't push much.  It's a push and pull kind of system.  They push, pull, and expect me to drive over whomever gets in our way.  I figure it's my way of teaching them how to drive in say, downtown NY.  Granted, I might not ever let them behind the wheel of a car.  Ever.  I love them in the backseat.  Buckled in.  Bee-boppin' to the radio.  Chatting about whatever. 

Maybe we'll drive all the way to school tomorrow.  Just to see what they have to say.
