New Title But Same Old Me!

I am sorry that I was gone for awhile but I decided to change the name of my blog to make it more appropriate for me. It took me this long to design this one. I liked Driving Thoughts because that is what you are going to get. My thoughts while driving. I do my best thinking, praying and pondering in the car.

Let's face it, when you have driven up Colvin 3 times in one day, you begin to feel like you could do it blindfolded. Not that I would because the Kenmore cops would be all over my butt, but you get the idea. Your mind starts to think of what happened in class, or the snappy comeback you should have given someone 2 hours ago that sounds oh so funny in your mind right now! Or I could be thinking of what I'd like to say to the driver in front of me. At any rate I will be giving you insight into my mind and thoughts, so if you like scary movies, or psychotic ones, hop aboard!

The second half, TAXIng Mom is a play on words and if I have to explain it to you, well, my blog may not be for you, cause if you haven't gotten this already, I am simple and complicated. I make sense and then sometimes I don't. It's me, it's not you! Some days I will write a summary of my day and it will be all over the road, other times it may be like a peaceful country road. Even I don't know.

Summary of today, I have thought about spiritual warfare, how I can be a fun mom with my daughter Teresa today, when am I going to finally start writing again, (Ta Da!), how late are my rides tonight because it's Friday night and a glass of wine would be nice, and how can I get myself to Rome on our budget. That was about 15 minutes of driving. Oh, and the moment I got angry and started talking to a speed zone sign because it was telling me I was going 35 and I was only going 29! The next 15 minutes was about whether or not I was going to make it to all of the stops I had on time, and is there enough money in the account to take Teresa to dinner, and why can't I find music I like on the radio anymore!

That's way too much for one person to carry in their heads, so I would like to share it with you. It's the year of Mercy and we will talk about that too. My patron saint this year is Saint William of Rochester and he is in for one heck of a ride! I love the saints so you will hear about them ALOT! Most especially you will hear about my children, grandchildren and hubby. And what it's like to spend a lot of your waking hours driving kids to various activities and the things I have learned along the way. I am sometimes funny intentionally and sometimes not so intentionally. I am a softhearted woman who wears her heart on her sleeve.

I hope you will laugh and cry with me. I hope you will see yourself sometimes in my writings and know that you are not the only one who thinks this way! You are not alone my friend. Let's drive together.
