O HAI DECEMBER!

….so remember when I woke up a few week ago and went “ew, snow” and then it was like 15 degrees below zero and brrr cold and no more snow, and stuff? And I was still walking around in just sandals and socks? Yeah, remember that?

This morning we woke up to THIS.

Yeah. And when I went to bed at 2am? None of *gestures wildly* THAT was happening. Which means, when I got up this morning to take Peppermist to Twirl Girl practice, a number of things happened:

1. I promptly fell on my considerable ass. Ouch. Wrenched my back, my knee hurts, and I’m irritated. Fuckin’ snow, man.

2. I almost hit one of the teenagers cars pulling out of the driveway. The trick of driving in that much snow is “go for it and PRAY, and oh, look, some brave soul already laid down tracks for us, FOLLOW THEM!” Fortunately, the end of the El Camino went unscathed.

3. The boy took MY car to school again – the truck is without a starter currently. To say this terrifies me is an understatement. It’s MY CAR.

4. The preheretofore mentioned El Camino? Promptly got stuck. The neighbors helped push him out (I would have been down there, and was on my way – but remember the sandals socks issue? and the fall? I need to unearth my boots – I have one, dunno where the other is. But yeah.) – but it was a comedy of errors as S was driving, and very timid. “GUN IT!” they say, and she goes “Wha?” And then they had to say “Put it in DRIVE sweetie, and take your foot off the brake…”

5. When they finally got the El Camino into the previously driven tracks with the help of The Boy who came back around to see what was taking so long, and gave a good ole HEAVE HO to the back end himself, Z yelled “KEEP GOING!” And ran alongside, opened the passenger side door and dove in. While I laughed and kicked myself for not video taping it all. I’m a bad blogger. I know.

6. The dog is BESIDE HIMSELF WITH JOY. Which also means I had to go untangle his ass cuz he’s a dumbshit and STILL wrapped himself around the tree. Sigh.

7. The electricity keeps flickering – which makes my internets go “OH NOZ! SHUT DOWN!” and me going “OH NOZ! START BACK UP YOU BASTARD!”

8.The buses for the littles is running TWO HOURS LATE. Sure, all you babies down south would just close school for the day, NOT US. We’ve a rep to keep, dammit – so our kids go to school ANYWAY. The neighbor was taking her nieces into the school, so gave the pup a ride too.

9. SOMEONE in this house, who shall remain nameless, (but is totally pictured to the right sporting the SNOWFLAKE pin a lady at nana’s church gave her – and who I’m TOTALLY blaming for all *gestures* this) is THRILLED with the snow fall.

10. That cute little face is getting WHITEWASHED as soon as she gets home. Just sayin.
