it is what it is

With less than 30 days until my 30th birthday I have entered a new chapter.
Gone are the days of 2 door cars or cute SUVs.
With a new baby on the way we apparently needed sliding doors and room for more cargo.
Seats that will accommodate more than the average load and windows so large that all eyes (& wet noses) will be able to see (& smudge) the world.
Dogs, Kids, Strollers, Diaper Bags, Car Seats, Bottles, Wet Naps, Extra Clothes, Sun Screen, Bug Spray, Snacks, Diapers, & Adults (not to mention O2 tanks, walkers, & seniors *work*) will now be able to ride comfortably in my short bus of a ride.
& the only memory that will remain of my previous life as an SUV driver is the picture of the license plate that refused to release itself from the back of my Mercedes.
It was like that plate knew that my teens & twenties were officially nonexistent & it too was refusing to let time slip any quicker than necessary.
I own a van.
Happy Birthday to me.
