Car Shopping

It is exhausting to shop for cars. There so many different types of cars. In one used car lot, I had a field day because all the cars were unlocked, and I could just climb in and out of all of them to see how spacious they were. It was very exciting! I learned that salesmen are currently desparate people who don't have the time to listen to your needs, they just know what they need to sell to make ends meet. News to the salesman: You would sell more cars if you listened to your customer. I learned that finding a Honda Accord (or Toyota Camry) with decent mileage, in decent condition, for $10,000 or under is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I learned that I love the heated leather seat, but not enough to pay a few thousand dollars more to get it. I learned that I would like to be done car shopping sooner, rather than later, but I am willing to wait it out for a good deal. That said, we have our eye on a car that will hopefully still be for sale by tomorrow, and that will hopefully have a clean history, and that will hopefully be bought by us! We still have hope. :)

Otherwise, this is my last week of school - yea! I am planning on making cut out cookies with my students. It sounds exhausting, but was not as time consuming as actually starting a new science topic. We'll save force, energy, and simple machines for after the holidays :) I hope everyone has a great week. Stay focused on the promise this season has brought us in Jesus' birth and not the hecticness of the material holiday it has become.
