Big Ass Cars
So I'm reading in Vogue, because, you know, what else would I be doing in the middle of a Thursday, about Kate Hudson. Blah blah blah, ex-husband, best friends, great kid, life changing events, she eats normally, and then I get to this: she's starting a line of natural hair care products - organic, environmentally responsible. She drives a freakin' Escalade. According to the US government's own fuel economy site, the Escalade gets a whopping 14 miles per gallon. Are you kidding me???
TWGH's current end-of-days anxiety revolves around global warming and water wars and our children's doom, so this is a frequent topic of conversation around the homestead. I have reluctantly parted with my dream of driving a honking, big ass SUV around like the Queen of Suburbia, and have, instead, resigned myself to the understanding that our next car will be fuel-efficient, probably used, and mightily reliable.
Make no mistake, I get the desire to have a big car. My not-so-tiny wagon barely contains me, the kids, and all of our collected crap. The number of gum wrappers alone is appalling - and yes, I let my four year old chew gum, wanna make something of it? We pick our battles. I could use a bigger ride. But how could I? In good conscience, how could any of us? Screw shampoo, Kate, get a bike...or at least a Toyota.

Try explaining why you let your 2 year old chew gum or wear her dragon costume for the fifth day in a row(yes,she is a girl).
There are many battles I am too tired to fight.

This cracks me up, especially since I just put Tinkerbell to bed. Magic wand, dumb ass sparkly tiara and all.
