Little House in the Snow Bowl

So I was originally going to call this post "little house in the dust bowl" since that describes my current dwellings, but then we started getting snow/sleet crap again, so i thought that snow bowl was better. My night class wasn't cancelled tonight but my instructor was very nice and let us out early after our test so that we could go home before it got really cold and froze everything to pieces. I don't mind driving in inclement weather but i despise idiots who zoom past people when they are going 60 miles an hour on snow packed roads and black ice! Seriously people. It took me almost two hours to make it home tonight ( i work just over the KS border) because of the road conditions and bad accidents that caused traffic to be diverted and backed up for miles.

I was able to go to QT on my way home and stock up on skittles and chips and mountain dew. that is true sustance in bad weather. did i mention daddy left for charlotte today? I have to be the man of the house now, so because they haven't called off school (Yet--which is unlikely because of all the days we have already missed) I will be taking my baby sister into work because she has a little Honda Civic that I really don't want her sliding around in. So I will put on my Spidey suit and drive her into school in my almightly Subaru. Plus, she is my little baby sister and it is my job as the older sister to protect her. My mom is still in town but I don't want her to have to drive all the way across town so early in the morning. I have to protect her too. So, my mom will pick my sister up from school so that I can have a few more hours hopefully at work. Seriously, I hope this shit melts off. I forgot to mention that since my dad left today, my co-workers give me Little Orphan Annie looks in the hallway. Am I that helpless?

Sunshine, you would have laughed so hard this afternoon. At three thirty I said screw this and left to go home and when I was knocking the snow off my windshield, I popped off one of my windshield wipers and it went airborne. I'm not sure how, but I was able to snap it back on and thank god the stupid thing stayed on for the rest of my driving time today. Congratulations on your new car. It sounds totally kick ass. You definitely deserve to have a pimp-worthy automobile. I"m working on a special mixed cd to celebrate the occasion.
