Do not pump gas on May 15th...

You also may have received an email similar to this one. Well I have come to offer an alternative. It's new, it's innovative, it's CARPOOLING!!! Ok so it's not SO new, but come on. Do you really think that by not buying gas on a particular day that the gas prices are really going to drop 30 cents? So that leads me to my second solution. Stay home. Ok so those who need to work can't comply with this, but how many families have two incomes and don't REALLY need it. I know that there are those families who do need two incomes, but there are also those who could live off less and frankly don't. Imagine how much less gas we would consume if one parent didn't work and only drove when it was necessary. Yes we have the convenience of cars, but we have been blessed with legs to walk (most of us). The other day my mom took a 45 min walk to go visiting teaching. Do I do that? Well no, but I should, and so should you. Let me be honest. This is really a plug for the need for stay-at-home moms. I miss those days when I was growing up and my mom had all these friends who were at home like herself. I want my friends to be at home so we can play together. It's starting to feel like summer and I want to get outside and do things with other women. So here is my call to all the women... I am at home so come and play.
