I have to believe not. :-) We try and try, but they are always overrun with stuff. It seems to get messier faster than it takes to clean.

I recently gave a child a ride home from school and he told me that my car was 'sure messier than his mom's car ever was and maybe I should clean it sometime'. You can either look at it as a messy car, or as some sort of emergency preparedness vessel.Melodrama Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00767333239445688916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11657020.post-69740522376275473762008-05-26T15:56:00.000-07:002008-05-26T15:56:00.000-07:00I had a great time this weekend hanging out with y...I had a great time this weekend hanging out with you.

I had the take "duke" to Clarkston vet clinic and now we all smell like wet dog. It is covering up the mystery smell no one can seem to uncover, for now anyway! I for some reason have been hauling around Christmas decorations and a roaster in my van, it clinks on every corner. I have a whole dress-up wardrobe there from the last wedding we attended and changed in the Target Bathroom, and of course misc things. Maybe in a past life I was a hoarder. Who knows, at least I am not alone. Tell me you are still drinking diet coke, it is zero points you know, along with pickles, tomato juice and polar bear wow cow yogurt, if the get the kids size!!!Kristi Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311382296639198817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11657020.post-45234844423030720232008-05-20T11:14:00.000-07:002008-05-20T11:14:00.000-07:00Thank you all for making me feel more "normal."

I remember cheerios and french fries embeded in the seats. At the time, my friend and her 2 teen girls, went for a trip. They clean out my car and swore they saw mold. They only cleaned it, so they would ride in it for the ride home. Anyway, now that my girls are teens, I am happy to say....the van is not any better. Same old mess. Instead of Cheerios, it is all kinds of crap (rings, earrings, candy, chips, chocolate milk cartons, etc.) and of course still fries. I gave up a long time ago. I think it is a mom thing. I really do. I am just now gonna sweat the small stuff. <BR/>Very, very funny post Shauna!!
