What a difference a day makes!

Remember how I hate winter? Well, now we are at war!

On Wednesday morning Ryan had to go back to work, he was not excited about that. His mom is in town, so we loaned her his car since he takes the bus. At 6:15 he woke me and the kids up to drive him to the bus stop, not a big deal. When we got outside we found out it had snowed 6 inches and it made everything a big deal. I drove him slowly and safely to the bus stop, a lot of the streets were already plowed. Then I dropped him off and turned around in a parking lot and started up the hill to the main road. The road we were on was not plowed and my little minivan got experience snow first hand. My wheels just spun and there was a truck behind me wanting to go forward with his life. He had given me some room, so I backed up and tried it again and again. Then his patience ended and he went around me. I kept trying while Ryan watched me from his bus window. Next a truck with a plow thing on the front was behind me, but he had no patience or compassion (I thought maybe he could drop his little plow thing for me). I guess Liam counted the tries up the hill and got to 11 (he counted them silently, otherwise he wouldn't be alive right now;) So, we made it up the hill and drove home safely.

Next problem was the 6 inches of snow on our driveway. The three of got dressed and went to shovel the driveway. Our brand new snow blower is currently broken, so we had a lot of shoveling. We shoveled off and on for 3 hours, the good thing is that it was warm out at least. Then they finally plowed our street and made a mess at the end of our driveway. At that point I gave up! My sister was coming over, but she has a truck so she can drive over it! Ryan was a great guy and went out to shovel it after his mom left last night at 8:30pm. I may have to go touch it up today in the heat of the day, but he got the majority done.

Well, today is going to be a new day. We woke up at 6:15 and took Ryan to the bus without any problems. We have no snow to move today either. I am going to take the boys to the zoo that I had promised for yesterday and we are going to have a fun relaxing day.

For the record I am so sore today, my head won't even stay up on my neck. That must mean that I worked out! Yay me!
