On Friday, I have to be honest and say that I was hoping for a snow day. I started watching the news at 6:00 am and about 300 schools were closed. I watched in anticipation to see my school's name. I always see it on the news first and my principal calls five minutes later. To my dismay, my school never showed up and I never got called. I rushed around then, like a mad woman to get ready. If the weather was that bad, I would need to leave earlier. Normally, I leave at 7:00 am, I would need to leave by 6:30 am!
Rick doesn't feel sorry for me on snow days. He says, People in the real world work regardless of the weather. This day though, he did feel bad for me. He saw me getting ready and said, You have school today?! You better drive ten the whole way, baby! Well, I arrived safely at school (it took me an hour) and all was good until I left. The school parking lot was not plowed too good, and I got stuck backing out! Our school secretary, Deb, was awesome and gave me a push. Then, when I got home, I got stuck halfway in my driveway, halfway in the road! My neighbor noticed and he came out and gave me a push. I love my Toyota Prius, but I'm not real impressed with its ability to get through deep snow. I have been driving four wheel drives the past six years. I am used to ramming through the snow, especially our driveway. Now, we'll have to shovel?! That stinks!!
The snow also can be beautiful when I'm sitting on my couch, looking at the Christmas tree in the front window, the smell of sugar cookies coming from the kitchen, and big, beautiful snowflakes are falling. Yes, snow can be beautiful.
