Minivan Mom
Erika Meyer
Listen to the mp3 (2 MB)
Got three boys and a girl or two,
a cat and a dog and a hamster too,
suburban home painted blue,
and I am a minivan mom.
My husband, Stan, is a real man,
we're living our lives according to plan.
Got to be the very best family we can,
cause I am a minivan mom.
Got football, soccer, PTA,
baseball, hockey, and ballet,
another fifty dollars in gas today,
'cause I am a minivan mom.
Sometimes I get down, get to feeling blue,
I go to the doctor, say "what do I do?"
He says, "It's okay, I got Prozac® for you,
'cause you are a minivan mom."
Got cookies to bake, got letters to send,
got phone calls to make, got schwag to vend,
and -- oh, hurray! I'm pregnant again!
'cause I am a minivan mom.

I encourage everyone to actually listen to the song--it's far more satisfying that way!

Just for the record, Erika ain't actually a 'minivan mom' - just the one daughter, and no minivan.

At least the minivan mom is not SUV mom.

& no husband Stan... though sometimes I can relate to how she feels.
Things are gonna suck for Minivan Mom when her last kid is in junior high, and Stan leaves for a younger woman, like happened to a friend of mine in her 40's with four kids at home.
Minivan Mom is going to have to leave her kids alone, and go to work in phone sales because all those years baking cookies, vending schwag, and volunteering as den mother fail to convince the corporate world she's capable of doing more than entry-level work.
But I'm sure she'll work her way up the corporate ladder, eventually....
