 A refrigerator would make my car perfect....

When my kids were younger all I wanted was for someone to remove the front seat of my mini-van and replace it with a small refrigerator.  How much time and money would that save?  Let’s face it, as soon as you start driving somewhere, your kids are either hungry or need to go to the bathroom!  (And no, I don’t want a toilet installed.)

I hope this link works!   I am from Boston and have spent the last few days blogging about my city, my family, my friends.  Yesterday, I posted the link above as it is a very special National Anthem, sung by an autistic man and helped by more than 20,000 fans at Fenway Park.  I hope you enjoy.

MP9004002591 e1365274506843 Ten Volleys Dont QUIT Score one for Parenting

Don’t let him quit, DON’T let him quit, that was all I could think.
