Ice Again

this has been one of those months, you know, when you just don't want to do anything cause its too darn cold. I can't seem to get warm, at all, and I'm not sure I ever will.

Monday I went to work with the mind set that this won't be a real bad storm, WRONG. I finally left work at 3:30, an hour early. I should've left about 12:30. I have a 35 mile drive home that usually takes about 45 minutes with traffic and all. NOT MONDAY! Monday it took me 3 HOURS and I still didn't make it home.

Bumper to bumper and 3 to 5 mph for 3 frickin hours. Semis sliding (backwards downhill), trucks fishtailin, and cars spinning out of control, and I had had enough. I couldn't do anymore, so when The Husband called and told me to take it real easy down our hill and tap the brakes easy so I won't end up going sideways, I gave up. Only a couple of miles from Melanies I called and begged "Can I spend the night at your house, PLEASE?" I knew she would say yes, she couldn't believe I was driving in this crap anyway.

Three blocks from Mels house and I hear a loud crash. Not me but Right next to me going the other way was a nice pretty blue car spinning in circles. So with my stomach in knots and having to pee for the last 2 hours, blood shot eyes from squinting for three hours and only one breakdown where the tears and sobbing were out of control, I got off the Highway. I made it the two blocks to her drive way and as I was turning right somehow my SUV went left into her neighbors yard, OMG I finally made into the drive and I couldn't wait to get in the house

By the look on her face I could tell that I probably had a wild look on mine. But I made it there safe and sound and a little (lot) frazzled. Tried again the next day to make it the last ten miles to my house, and then I was truly safe at home for the next two days. I hate Ice!!!

Hope everyone else driving in this crap is safe too!

Brrrrr

Here we go again! It is not a good sign when the temperature drops 50 degrees in just a few hours. When there is sleet hitting the windows, you kinda wonder, what the crap. The weatherman talk like not a big deal, hardly any precipitation, which I guess this is not alot compared to last year. Heck this ain't nothin, compared to last year.

But it is enough to keep my sorry butt home from work. Husband said he would take me in today (he doesn't want to pay the deductible on my insurance again) but he worked all nite and lets just say I don't trust him when he hasn't had any sleep for 24 hours.

Don't get me wrong I don't mind staying home today, but I feel like I have to be quiet cause he's sleeping. I mean not that I was planning on running the vacuum, or dryer or really anything else productive I WAS planning on going to work.
But I haven't had real good luck on dry pavement let alone a little ice, so I guess I will just stay here.

I did talk to one of the guys at work and yes he made it ( I think guys just like to drive in this crap) but he also told me that one of the other guys flipped his truck at the entrance. Bad Deal! So for Me and my FELLOW DRIVERS SAFETY
I will be at home doing what I do best, reading or playing on the computer. (maybe a power nap squeezed in)

FYI: be watching for birthday stuff next week I'm making a choo choo train cake HOLY MOLY (don't worry amber it'll be soooo cute)
Then the next week is Husbands 50th birthday party WooHoo! (ooh I'm going to be married to an old man) Ha Ha
