That’s what I got for the prompt. Pretty much all I know of the song is de do do do and da da da and “their logic ties me up and wrecks me” cause OMG SAME, but I dig the song, and that’s what came to me.
I’m struggling with do, because The Mister’s in and out and Moo has plans, and now Sassy has asked me a terrible, terrible question, “Are we going anywhere today?” which means she’ll make plans and somehow this will involve me cause, “I’m a driver, I’m a winner, things are gonna change I can feel it.” Totally different song.
ALL HAIL THE GREAT TAXI MOMS. We are legion.
I’m due for a doorscursion so I have asked Sassy if we couldn’t just pick up a friend and do that. I’m awaiting the 411.
Dew? Usually on my car in the morning, in. the. dark. of morning. Another good reason to sleep late on Saturday — there’s no dew on the car.

I remember when I was the taxi and tour guide for my kids. I was thinking in a similar vein about dew…someone would have to get up pretty early to see the dew in Southern California the way the weather has been, it would evaporate pretty quick. 🙂

Morning dew doesn’t linger long here, lately, either, Deborah. It’s been sunny for weeks! I leave a few times a week at 6:25. It’s dark and dewy then.
Congratulations on getting through the taxi time! 🙂 My day will come!

GOOD QUESTION: No. It seems Beck has been making music prolifically since Loser, but we’re not enjoying it en masse as we once did. He has a new album coming out on October 13th. No mention of taxi-dadding, but then, I didn’t read the whole thing, either.

I also remember Taxi Mom days, days I’m happy to say are in the past. I’m good with that. Taxi Moms should always get their due for what they do, even when they have to get dew off the car. I hope you DO have a wonderful Saturday.

That is a nice Police song but the video is pretty horrid. I hope if you have to go anywhere it is in search of doors. It has been a long time since I have been on a doorscursion, even longer since I have walked on dew soaked grass. Hope your Saturday turns out the way you want. Enjoy

Isn’t it? “Let’s just sing in the snow…” I dunno what that’s about. Perhaps before video artistry was a thing.
I had a LUFFLY doorscursion today, thanks, but I had trouble with parking and construction, I thought I’d never find a spot! I walk on dewy grass five days a week and will until the frost. Then I’ll wear shoes 🙂

Woot! You got the Bonus Points for using all three words!!!
I was a Taxi Mom for a lot of years, and never minded it until daughter wrecked her car and couldn’t afford another one…I fell into being Taxi Mom again for a bit over a year longer than I wanted to be. I was so happy when she was finally able to buy another car. On the up side she found out how awful it is not having her own transportation after having it, or having adequate savings. She’s been a pretty good saver since then, and recently bought a newer car with more upgrades and paid cash. That still fills me with all kinds of Mama pride. 🙂
I imagine I’ll be Taxi Grandma too coming up sooner than I’d like. I just want to keep him little!
I’m having a super LAZY Saturday…still in my jammies even! I hope to get out and hike tomorrow, and do some photography.

I really do hate the taxiing some days, especially the earlies. *yawns* I realize it’s just another stage, and at least for this set of kids, I don’t have to tote little ones around like I did when their siblings were teens!

really love your take on the prompt – and this might sound cheesy – but I had to stop listening to the “loser” song cos in my gut I just could not keep calling myself a loser – maybe my former counseling days were whispering in my thoughts – you know – about those messages we allow to come into our mental thread – and while a mild song (with a fun beat and cool chorus) might seem benign – or even be benign – I can’t stand singing that chorus and I am not always into changing lyrics – lol –
and thanks for the Police song – jammed to it and reminded me of a few friends from 80s – and I can see how the prompt led you there….

but seriously – I could not sing those lyrics – have only had a few songs like that.
anyhow, another thing I learned was that Beck (singer of Loser) is from smashing pUmpkins. is this right? well I love a few of their songs
