Well, with the freezing rain pelting down and roads getting slicker by the minute, my husband made a rare demand. No, really, he doesn't tell me what to do, or demand anything. He called and said, "You're leaving work NOW. Go." Ummm, ok? I don't know how to handle his orders, because he doesn't give them often. I packed up and left at 4:15. It was at least 10 minutes later when I could get in the car to leave. Ice to scrape, windows to defrost, and it took a bit to open the frozen-shut door. Finally, I left.
My almost-hour long commute took 1 1/2 hours, but I made it home safe. I-70 moved at the amazing pace of about 20 mph at best. It's better than landing in a ditch, I must say. Now, tonight, it will turn to snow. I'd much rather drive on snow than ice. The little car did great! I love front wheel drive, always have, but I wasn't sure what to expect. In the parking lot, I tried to force a skid, to see how slick it was and what the car would do. It did NOT want to skid. Awesome.
Kevin worked over 14 hours yesterday, in fact, he already has 40 hours in this week. He's beat, and now a fuse is blown in the kitchen. I'm going to go help him fix it. By help, I mean shout real loud when the offending fuse is found. Then I'm going to send him to bed. Poor, hard-working guy.
Tomorrow, I hope to leave early, so I'm at work on time. I love the winter weather, but don't tell Kevin. He thinks I'm crazy, and hearing it again might make him commit me. (let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!) oops. I didn't say that!

I was gonna say 'No pictures?!' but then I thought 'ok...no..both hands on the wheel inthat kind of weather!'
(I love winter too. I don't think it's a secret for me though...LOL)

Now let's pray your daddy makes it home safe after midnight: We still don't have our car, and Tony didn't work today. So Cliff is driving Tony's car. We're supposed to get our car tomorrow. Looks like you may have to get the girls up early and bring them over, since we have no way to go get them.... that's if there's no school. And I'll bet there'll be no school.
Friday is the 1st of the month. I assume we'll do our usual 1st of the month thing.
If I'd remembered your work number I would have called you at 1:30pm and told you to leave then. That's when I left. See how I love you so much more than Kevin does ?? STEP IT UP, KEV. ;)
I'm done for the week. Not dealing with these retard KC drivers until next Monday.
*ping* time for another beer!!
xo,

Russ, I know you think you love my wife more than me. Where were you at 4:30 this morning when I was scraping ice off her car? I could have used you then buddy. :)
I'm glad someone loves that weather! And glad hubby is watching out for you. - Barbara
