Hazardous driving....

School's delayed.
Now, normally, that's not a huge deal to me--it means I'll get to see the kiddos at the worksite and PLAY! (which makes for a happy me!)

Today it means the freezing rain on the roads are making travel......icky and dangerous.
Oh, how I love a challenge...LOL. Actually, bad weather driving is a pretty null and void issue. Snow....ummmmm...this IS Iowa and we get it. Learn to drive on it or become a hermit for five months. I can do 'hermit' quite easily...meets MY need to have limited contact with earthlings. LOL However, I 'get to' be 'responsible' and I am a workin' person!

Freezing rain this morning--roads are mostly covered.
I don't care how many 'wheel drives' you have--ice is ice is ice and a 4 wheel drive can slide off the curve JUST as easily as a front wheel drive, as an 18 wheeler......
(oh, don't I just SOUND pragmatic and responsible...LOL)

No leaving town this morning.
And this morning is an appointment with the doc.
Or........this morning was SUPPOSE to be an appointment with the doc.
Test results and all that good stuff.......

So.......responsible or avoidant?
*checking*




YEP!



*sigh*

Be responsible and make the call.
Be avoidant..who said you needed to see him face to face?!?!

It is true, 4WD doesn't make a bad driver good. C:)

Or, 4-Wheel Drive is still 2-Wheel Stop.

This sounds like an AWESOME day for CRAYONS and a COLORING BOOK, Mel!!!!

(and also to practice your ice skating routine...figure eights!)

Enjoy your day, my friend!

P.S. Oooo...and then later on...a nice hot bath with Mr. Duckie!

Mate, just a HINT of snow in this country and it all comes to a standstill (leaves on the track just stops a train!)

I hope you managed to find the test tube aliens to keep you and the kiddos amused!

whatever the reason, you can wait a day or two (or they can call you) but you definitely should be staying home if you need to stay home. as the guy said, 4 wheel drive does not make a bad driver good!

be safe.

Last week when we had a half inch of snow the schools got closed for the day. I yi yi.

If the wheather man even mentions the word "ice" around here people go into a complete tail spin.

(pun intended)

hope all is well, or that you are bearing up, or or or

what was I saying about the bad news sometimes not being as bad as dreading the news

hope it didn't pan out like that for you sweetheart dearest
