Did you know that I went to the gas station yesterday to fill up and after $100 the pump cut me off? I did not even have a full tank! This is more than ridiculous. I am the first person to say that we need to drive less to help save the environment and I try to do all that I can. This gas thing is just wrong! I took my kids out of private school because it was to expensive but just driving them to public school is around $100 a week. No they cannot walk it is to far and up hill all the way there if they rode a bike. I would not feel comfortable with that either because of all the sickos out there hurting children. I have to try and keep mine safe for as long as possible. Anyway back to my point of gas prices, as they stand, it costs me about $4,800.00 just for normal year drives to pick up and drop off my munchkins. They have after school activities also that mean more driving back and forth. Holy cow we have soccer practice and games to figure into that equation too. Didn't AAA just report that gas prices are going to be over $5 a gallon by summer? Does the president really think that his little relief check is gonna help this sitsuation? Hello? Anyone else see a problem here?
Just thinking out loud here, um if my hubby makes decent money and the gas prices are killing us then how are all the people with less than we have going to survive? If you only make $8-$9 an hour, you have a bucket that you drive, your rent is $1500, plus regular bills, you would like to eat, have to pay car insurance, at the price of gas I hope that you have no children that you are supposed to feed, clothe, or make sure they have a sitter because you have NO MONEY LEFT. How are those people gonna do it? Do they quit their jobs and go on welfare? Do they have gas welfare? Can we get money from the government for gas relief on a regular basis?
Car manufacturers, this idea is for you, how about a solar van for moms? We can cover the tops of them with solar panels, make them seat 7-8 passengers and have NO EMISSIONS ! If we have a space station that works, cell phones, wireless computers why can't we have solar cars? Sunlight is a free gift from God. Some super smart person please, create a vehicle that I can afford and can take my children to school and activities without ruining the world or my wallet.

Amen! Right on! Huzzah! I love your solar van idea Aimie!! It's getting scary out there. I was in Circuit City last night and the girl paying ahead of me was saying that Merck (rx's) has just laid off thousands ofpeople, notifying them not to come in the next day.
Do you remember being a little kid and sleeping in the back of the car before dawn, eating breakfast in the gas line, so we could all drive to school and work? I didn't think those days would ever return. It feels dumb to say,"Chin up!" but there's nothing else to do except shake my head and think cloudy thoughts about the administration in Washington.
