I’m stewing right now; we tried so hard to be on top of things! Chuck set the alarm half an hour early this morning so that he could get up and beat the traffic and make it to work on time and safely. Sometimes, when we do that, the alarm doesn’t go off the next day. Well, didn’t we realize that today was going to be one of those days 45 MINTUES after we normally get up!
So, Chuck flew out of bed to get dressed and brush his teeth, got downstairs and realized that our guy that we freakin’ PAY to PLOW our driveway NEVER showed up!!! And there’s easily a foot or more of drifted snow into our driveway! The car in the driveway has got snow up to the doors and 2-wheel drive; it’s not going anywhere. So, I raced upstairs to get clothes on and back downstairs to bundle up and open the garage door for Chuck so that he could shovel. Nicky woke up because his room is above the garage, and thankfully went right back to sleep. We shoveled two paths for tires and a little bit at the foot of the driveway, then Chuck raced down the driveway with the Vibe and thankfully made it out to work 15 minutes after he normally does.
I had enough time to eat some breakfast while I typed this and I’m going to see if I can hop in the shower before Nicky wakes up for real. I hope this isn’t a preview of the rest of the day.
