Are you feeling the gas pinch? I know I am!! My family expanded rather suddenly so I felt the need to have a larger vehicle. I decided to purchase a S.U.V. The family loves it, but needless to say my wallet does not. The first time I gassed up when the prices reached $4.00, I was so shaken I had to say, "Jesus take the wheel," on the way home. LOL I definitely have buyers remorse and will probably never buy such a large vehicle again. It's sad because it is absolutely perfect for long road trips, which with these gas prices we will not be doing.
How are gas prices going to affect your summer plans? I had originally planned on taking the family down to the gulf because some of them have not seen a real beach, but I am thinking of sticking more close to home. I think we are fortunate that we live in an area relatively close to some large cities with tons of activities. I am specifically talking about Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis. Gas prices can make a road trip to those cities a challenge as well. One thing is for sure, I will be more of a home-body this summer. I am looking to you guys to clue me in on some fun stuff to around the Central Illinois area. Feel free to email me and let me know what you plan to do this summer.
With love and much appreciation to be feeling better,
J
