Life, in all it's fullness, means that some things have to give. And right now, those long, cozy, home-and-on-the-couch nursings are one of them.
Miss Lena has eaten many a meal in a parked mini-van. My car battery has died twice already because of this. Once because I unknowingly left my headlights on, and once because I used the built-in DVD player for my impatient young son without the engine running. For a little too long.
(But most people are happy to help a lady with a newborn jump-start her car. Thank goodness!)
Every once in a while, though, car-nursing can lead to something that makes everyone happy. Like finding a parking lot right across from a state-wide marching band competition on a beautiful Fall day!
