Get that bottom toasty!

Today I decided I would be a really nice mom and drive Hailey to the bus stop...she was cold and didn't want to wait outside. Now I know it's not winter but it was a balmy 35 degrees out! So we pile into the car and off we go for our 2 second drive. Hailey, bless her heart, has absolutely no fat on her at all to keep her warm...me on the other hand, I have plenty of insulation! So she gets in the car shivering and complaining that it's too cold out..."Hurry mom, turn on the heat...and where the heck are the seat warmers in this car?" SEAT WARMERS? Oh man, my kids are spoiled...I know this when they are appalled that a car doesn't have seat warmers. (Funny thing is, we were driving my dad's car (a nice Porsche) and it doesn't have them.) So from now on, I am making my kids walk the 3 mile (hills both way) trek to the bus stop...that'll teach them to complain about seat warmers. After all, I don't remember any fanny warmers in our old green van growing up and I came out OK. (Alright mom, make your wisecracks)

Man, I love that kid!

I can't believe its already that chilly there. It has been quite blustery today..rain and clouds. Yet, for some reason I'm still in shorts. My recently purchased sweaters are still waiting to be worn.(I'm rubbing it in huh?.. come visit). I'm sure Hailey is always keeping you on your toes. Remember, spoiling them won't ruin them too much.

Oh, I'm so happy I don't live where there is much winter. I know people miss the seasons but I am done with being cold. You do need the seat warmers!

Aren't kids funny, but really it's us too, we get used to a certain level of comfort...and when it's not there, it's missed. How is it that cold already.

Okay, everyone RIGHT NOW who is reading this should read my side of the story, so go to my blog, and see what really happened! Sincerely Hails who needs a car with seat heaters.

Lets see...I remember a time when Hailey was just a wee little thing and you would pile everyone in the car to drive 1/4 of a BLOCK to go to church...remember that Missy...I wonder where your children get it from...hmmmm

That story cracks me up, melissa!! Those cheap-a porsche makers! I mean, who do they think they are forcing you to warm up your own booty? :)

In Hailey's defence, I think 3 miles round trip just to get to the bus seems mighty long. That is quite the hike!

I didn't finish my thought, I am fried. Anyway, once you've enjoyed a warm tush, you never can go back!!
