Commuting Adventures

I can't believe Gavin only has four and a half days of school left! Four and half days left of the commute to and from school! Of course, half of that time is spent driving one handed as one hand is always reaching back to hand off a juice box or a Kleenex or a piece of gum... (Or to retrieve a used juice box or Kleenex or piece of gum! Moms, you know how it is!) Yesterday on the ride home from school I made the mistake of announcing to the boys that I had the hiccups! So, all the way home they had to take turns growling at me to try to scare my hiccups away! And, of course, it didn't take long for the, "It's my turn to scare her!" "You had 3 turns!" "Stop it!" And then there's me, "Sto-(hick) STOP ARGUING! (hick)" Then, out of nowhere, Gavin kicks the back of my seat..."Did I scare you?" Another van story... So, I like the song "Beautiful" by James Blunt, so I checked out his CD, "Back to Bedlam", from the library the other day. (I've recently become addicted to checking things out from the library, but that is a story for another day! Albeit, an exciting one! Ha!) Anyway, so I'm riding along in the van with Trevor, cranking the CD and the song, "Beautiful", and it gets to the part that says, "she could see on my face, that I was, flying high..." (Right. I never really thought about the lyrics until that moment, but not really the point of the story.) Apparently, on the CD, instead of "flying" he says another choice "F" word! Imagine my surprise! Ha! I'm sure Trevor didn't notice, but I sure did! Goodness! It really seems highly unnecessary to me, and ruins an otherwise lovely song! Oh well. Who am I... At least I now know where it is so I can keep one hand on the volume and turn it down at just the right moment! And I think we've established that I'm an accomplished one handed driver!
