Stuck!

Well, we got all 8-10 inches overnight as predicted.  They cancelled school in all the districts around the Twin Cities except mine.  Go figure! So I got ready for work, and stepped out of the house at 7:30am to find this scene:

And it was still snowing like a mad man!! It took 15 minutes to clear my car off....just for me to get stuck at the bottom of the driveway.  The plows hadn't come through yet and there was too much snow for Bessie to handle.  Poor, poor Bessie. E had to shovel me out and push to get me un-stuck but I still wasn't going anywhere until the plows came through.  I had to call in to work because it was impossible for me to drive anywhere.  I feel really bad about it, but when you're stuck, you're stuck.  What was I supposed to do? I have no idea how many people or students were actually able to make it in.  Seems like lots of people did the smart thing and stayed home today.  There were 600 accidents in the Cities this morning from all the snow.  Crazy! Sometimes the risks just don't seem worth it, kwim?

Of course I used the day for some "me" time.

I scrapped...too bad you can't see the ghost letter titles on this one (it says Xero Fanclub). Much brighter and cuter IRL!

This one is of 's grandma's memorial service last month in Chicago. 

I also finished My Sister's Keeper.  I knew there would be a turn of events at the end but it happened much different than I had predicted.  A very ironic twist!  I enjoyed the book, and plan to read more books my Jodi Picoult.

The snow finally stopped at around noon but the plows didn't come through my neighborhood until 4pm.  As of this moment, our HO association still has not come out to plow our driveways(9:15 pm Monday).  I had to shovel half of our driveway so that E could get up the driveway when he came home from work...took me over an hour.  Very heavy snow and LOTS of it! Like waist high on me.  Those plows better be out here soon to do the rest of my driveway and our sidewalks! Grrrrrrrrr.

Can't wait to go to work tomorrow and be back to normal!  I can't wait to go to the gym too!

Going to school in our district on what should have been a snow day. .. ridiculous!

Did you see the article in the paper of what Lou Kanavati (bless me!) said about not calling off school? "Learn from your mistakes". Well, maybe he can test it Thursday with the new snow we are supposed to get. We ran at 20% capacity yesterday. I had 7 kids all day. It was really weird!
