♪ ♫ ♪ I’m A Real Mom Now ♪ ♫ ♪*

I am. Because I finally did it – I got a minivan!

Yes, those who know me will be surprised, but alas, I am a mom and this comes with the territory!

Yes, as my neighbour just reminded me, while I proudly showed him my sweet new ride in the driveway, I have only one child. No matter! There are many people without children who drive minivans.

And yes, my kid is not involved with any sports or activities that require the transport of equipment or supplies. So what? I like my vehicles airy and spacious.

Look out car pool, drop-off zone at school, parking lot at dance class – I’m one of you now.
