Some Days Are Just Like That

As the Boy and I left for school and work yesterday, there was a little overnight snow on his truck but the roads were clear and the snow on the grassy areas didn't look like it would last long.  So off we went to where we spend our days.

For the REST OF THE DAY the snow kept falling, along with a persistent wind that whipped the snow all around.  It would have  been a really good day to stay home and bake while listening to Christmas music.  Work sure gets in the way sometimes.

The snow NEVER let up!  But the time I left work, just after 3 PM, the roads were covered and the snow just kept right on falling.  People, of course, are idiot drivers in the first snowfall of the year.  And they proved that again today.

So I carefully toddled home, with the Durango in 4WD.  As I pulled closer to the house, I noticed that the driveway and the sidewalks.  I drove right into the garage and parked my car.

As I came into the house, I couldn't hear The Boy anywhere.  His truck was parked in it's place, and The Girl's car was still where she left it Saturday.  After calling upstairs, I hear a voice form the bathroom: "Mom, I just finished shoveling the driveway and I had to pee.  I'll be down in a minute."

That good boy carefully hurried home so he could beat me to the house and get the driveway cleared off before I had to drive on it.

I'm one lucky mom.
