Weenie

That is me...I am a weenie.

We had some snow this past week. Since then it has been very cold. The night it snowed it took me 3 hours to get home and for others it took much longer. I had to drive 30 miles on the freeway that night and it was covered with snow and ice. It has since cleared up alot as far as the main line streets go but there is still snow on the ground and many residential areas still have ice on the roads.

This evening Steve was supposed to go to a birthday party near where he goes to school, which is that lovely 30 miles away. We were all set to go and then at 1:00 pm this afternoon it started lightly snowing. The reports all said..oh no not much snow, no accumulation etc...etc...It still made me nervous. I thought for sure by the time we went to leave it would be done.

Well it wasn't and it started sticking on my car.....right as we were getting ready to leave I made the executive decision to not make the trek to the party. I made the call to the child's parents and we stayed home. About an hour later..the snow stopped and it ended up being a none event.

In my defence it had been snowing for 3 hours....every so lightly and it started to stick.

Owell....we still have the present and Steve really seems like he couldn't care any less about the fact that we did not go.

I just did not want to get stuck and force us to drive on the snow covered freeway.....Owell

agreed, you made the right decision (it may be that i'm a weenie also). and if steve couldn't care less one way or the other -- it worked out for the best.

That was probably the safest bet. I have no qualms driving on snow and ice, but when it comes to the other drivers, it's often wise to weenie out.
