As I sit here tonight, I am going through the course listings for Summer school for the kids this year. As I’m reading class descriptions, it finally hits me that I won’t be registering Zack for the normal, fun Summer school courses that I have been doing for years. Instead, this summer, Zack will be taking drivers education.

Seriously, am I really that old??

How did it happen?

How is it I have a child who will not only be taking his drivers education classroom course over the summer but will also get his learner’s permit.

I don’t know where the time went but it went way to darn fast.

Not only is Zack going to be busy learning the rules of the road over the summer but he will also be working to restore an old pickup truck with Pa the Great.

Even though he is restoring this truck, Alex and I are still going back and forth on the idea of getting another minivan and passing Alex’s ghetto cruiser on to the kid.

Although I’m currently torn and have no clue what we are going to do, it doesn’t stop me from checking out different deals online while shopping for my dream minivan.

Seriously, who would ever have thought I would have a *dream minivan*.
Yes, I’m officially a mom with 5 kids.

First things first, my dream minivan needs to seat at least 7 people because our family is HUGE. Second, it has leather interior so it is easy to clean because, let’s face it, kids always end up eating and drinking in the car no matter how many times you say it’s not going to happen and they alaways, ALWAYS make a mess.

I also dream of a van with stow-and-go seats, dual automatic doors and hatch, 2 tvs, and fully loaded with A/C, cruise, automatic everything, and all the bells and whistles.

Yes, I want it all.

Today I spent some time drooling (yes, I am that mom) over a few new vans on the Sheboygan GM website and let me tell you….they have a few in stock that I would be willing to take off their hands if I had the funds currently available.

I’m crazy about this 2012 Chrysler Town & Country Touring.  

It has all the bells, whistles and even more…everything I am looking for AND it’s RED!!!!!!!!

Now I just need to generate $23K to purchase it and make it mine!

Do you have a dream car or are you a mom like me who has a *dream minivan*??
