oh, COME ON!

Yeah, I'm stuck at the bottom of the hill. I left work in pouring rain. As I drove home, a truck went by with 3 inches of snow on it. Hmmm, I thought, that could be bad. Then, a freakin snow plow drives by me! Oh hell no! Yep. By the time I got here, flakes as big as quarters and fluffy as cartoon feathers were so thick on the ground I spun out like a tenth of the way up the very first hill! Luckily a friend was right there too and between her ice-melt and another guy's shoving, we got my car off the road and in between two other stranded cars and started walking up the hill. My lovely husband chained up and switched on the 4 wheel drive to come meet me on the way up. Suck.
So we get home and I tell True she won't be going to school tomorrow. "YES!!!!!!" she shrieks, like a ten-year old skater boy. Both our districts are 2-hours back today. Lovely. At least it doesn't tack more on in June. Silver lining, right? Yeah, remind me of that when I go get my car and it has another one bashed into it. Nice.
