Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi definitely made it sound more appealing. All I can say is ice storms are not.

Not only did I have to cancel pedicures with Carole, but I didn’t even get to leave my house Saturday until 9:30pm (and that was only because Simeon realized we were out of NyQuil and he desperately needed to sleep). The adventure to the store began after 15 minutes of letting the truck warm up so Simeon could crack the sheet of ice off of the windshield. Then we slipped and slided in 4-wheel drive the quarter mile to Albertson’s. Ahh the evil hold NyQuil has over the sick….

But the worst part of the whole adventure was getting back into our house once we returned. Our house is above the street, so our driveway has a slight incline, which in normal conditions is barely noticeable. However, when it’s a sheet of ice, it makes it impossible to walk up. In fact, Simeon climbed out of the truck (which was parked in the driveway) and slid the entire way to the street. It was hilarious (only because he didn’t get hurt…otherwise I swear I would not have laughed as loud)!

(Oh and I uploaded some random pictures to the Misc. Category, Lisa P. Category, and the Molly Category.)

  1. Yes, I was so disappointed the Peddies got canceled. Muffin and I had the worst cabin fever all day.

    Don’t let Sim get addicted to Nyquil. I was addicted last week too, and it’s hard to quit.

  2. Oh, I so feel you on the nasty weather. All I can say though, is be glad you don’t live on a cliff like I do. At least you were able to slide to the store on relatively flat roads with curbs to bump into, not slide to your death over the side of a mountain like I would have if I’d tried to leave. 😉
