So much to write about and so little time. Hopefully I will have time for a couple of detailed posts later to cover the following topics:
Why and how I've been converted to the darkside
Beckett's burgeoning skills and our plans for his birthday party
Writing projects (and how you might be able to help)
Brendan's new interest in reading and all the cool things he knows
Halloween fun
Right now, I have so much going on, I feel as if I am in a whirlpool, getting sucked deeper and deeper down, far away from a place where I feel like I'm in control of anything in my life. I wish I could stop time and just get it together for a minute.

I was always the 'hold out' on the conversion to the dark side.
Until I was diagnosed with severe psoriatic arthritis...
...as a mom with a 3 year old.
After 4 years in a minivan, I can not imagine driving any other vehicle.
Welcome to the Dark Side, my friend. At the very least, grocery shopping is SO much easier!
"I feel as if I am in a whirlpool, getting sucked deeper and deeper down, far away from a place where I feel like I'm in control of anything in my life."
Whoa, dude. I think you just described being a parent.
:-)
Sadly, Rich, I think you're right. I have a fantasy of having a weekend at home with just Scott where we clean the house from floor to ceiling, do a few projects that never get done, he has time to play or write, I have time to read and write, we get to have a real date, and by Sunday evening, I feel like I have a grip on my life...all organized and tidy.
Renn, the thing that swayed me on this, and I'll be including this statement in my review if I can ever finish it (see above), is not having to lift Brendan into the car. In my Santa Fe, I have to lift him (he could climb, but it takes too long when you're always in a rush) and he's just so tall and 40 lbs. isn't like lifting air. Having the minivan just really made my life a lot easier. Style be damned, I need a little ease and comfort in my life.
Obviously, you understand that. I can't imagine having severe chronic pain and having to take care of a little one. It doesn't even sound like there's a question that a minivan would be ideal in your situation.
