Winter...who likes it? Well, the weather has been really cold and very snowy. So snowy that Sean didn't want me driving as our roads haven't been cleared. Well, that was fine for a couple of days but finally I assured him that I am an excellent driver and I grew up with tons of snow and I can handle it! So the first morning driving on my own, Sean followed me out to make sure I would be OK. I was driving like a pro in our driveway. Then, realizing I was going to be late, I forgot the road conditions as I tried to turn and boom...or more accurately screech...slide...stop
Yup, I hit the ditch. London was with me. Looked over and said, "Nice Mom, you made it like 5 meters outside of our gate!
That is our gate and here is my car. I think it is at least 12 meters myself. Man, was it slippery and I need new tires. Luckily, Sean wasn't too mad because he was able to say I told you so!
Another shot of my fine skills. It was super icy and my car just wouldn't turn.
Blossom meeting our neighbour. Everyone came to see my humiliation!
Thanks Jason! This happened on Monday of this week....fast forward to today.
OK, I can explain. It is starting to warm up and I wanted to get a picture of the snow on my tractor as it has been so beautiful the last couple of days. So I brought my camera in the car. As I was looking at the snow and the tractor, I was distracted and pulled over too far on the one side...yup, I am stuck. Well, at least I am close to home. The wind is blowing really strong as a Chinook is on its way in. So I got out of the car in a deep drift to start walking to the house when a $20.00 bill went flying from behind. Must have been in my pocket. And it was high up in front of me, I tried to run and get it when the tree grabbed it!
So now the $20.00 is in the tree too high for me to get out and my car is stuck and I am waiting at home for another lecture on my poor driving skills. Remember, honey, I can cook pretty good, I keep a pretty good house and I excel at cuddling. Plus, I left a tip in the tree for you once you dig me out! OH WHAT A DAY~ How long 'til summer?

Oh Kimara! I am crying laughing, the tip in the tree will make it all seem completely forgivable and utterly adorable!
he he he I love it! The tip definitely makes it all better =) Enjoy your lecture!
Or.... you could tell him you found a money tree and hope he looks past the fact that the car is stuck...
Maybe you should start driving the Odyssey in your snowsuit. It would be way more fun and I don't think you'd get stuck ;)
Too funny Kimara. Your life never seems dull.

Where is the picture of the tractor? Is that another post?
Ha ha ha ha!! That is hilarious. Don't feel too bad about the driving...it happens to the best of us. It takes a bit to get back in the groove of things. You brightened my day right up. Thanks!
