A Simple Kind of Life

Random thoughts

First of all, it seems that after we come back from the cottage the kids play together so well and are much more content with just being at home. I love it. Makes me want to move up there They haven’t asked to go anywhere in DAYS. The one time we did go somewhere Carter asked if we could just stay home, he had writing to do. I do love the way we slow down in the winter, even though it feel frantic and crazy from time to time….

Second, I saw a report on the news this morning (it was on only briefly, I HATE the news) that GM sales are down 31%. Hmmm..wonder why. Well I might be able to tell you why. Do they want the situation to be dire so they can get the funding they need? Who ultimately pays the price? Us, again. It’s so shitty that we have been loyal customers of GM for 6 years making reliable on time payments and now that our lease is coming up they won’t let us buy our car. Or lease another car. Even with a co singer. and a down-payment. What are they going to do with MY car? Why wouldn’t they just want to sell it to us instead of having it back? Aren’t they going to miss our monthly payments? And not just ours I’m sure. Should I even consider being loyal to US cars as I always have been after they did this to us? After they cut my Grandma’s benefits? Hmm…not leaving me with a warm and cozy feeling. So, we are yet again getting screwed by this crappy economy or the illusion of a crappy economy. I’m just pissed. I’m sure we would have been OK a year ago. Anyway, sort of not my usual blog topic.
