FREAKIN' ICE

K, I have noooo problem driving in the snow and some ice here and there. But yesterday our district made the horrible choice of going to school on time. It was bad, realy, really, really bad! Never driven on so bad. Now we went to college over in Spokane with a beater car and I never had a problem driving. That's how bad it was yesterday.

We have fun sliding around on our road, we are used to that. But then I got onto the main road and it was a complete sheet of ice. It looked like snow was in there, but alas, it was compacted into ice. Some moron was stopped in the middle of the intersection. Brakes of course don't want to work cause of the anti-locks, so can't even pump them a little. Thankfully no one was in the other lane, so off I go to try to change lanes and go around if possible. Oh, guess I won't. Guess the kids and I will go sideways down the road in the suburban. La-la-lala I didn't even have time to panic. Makes me feel good that I didn't, proves I'm a freakin' awesome driver. ;)

Should have turned around then, but figured what the hell, I'm already half way to pick up the other girls. Main hiway was stopped up because of a wreck. Needless to say my friend and I kept the kids home for the day. I can't believe we didn't atleast go 2 hours late like everyone around us.

Today was no school because it is even colder. Doesn't look good for tomorrow either. I've been so unproductive! Not because they are home, but because I'm just off my schedule. lol
