Ungrateful = ME

blairprovenceSo, I had to go to work today because I only have 14 hours paid time off for the holidays and I have guests coming in next Friday, and, of course, I want Christmas off. So I figured I could wedge in about 7 hours of work today and get home early to wrap presents. When I left this morning it was damp and rainy but driveable. Four hours later, my sister called and told me to go the hell home ASAP. We're having a surprise blizzard! (Surprise in the sense that we were supposed to have 2-4 inches - so much for the vaunted Oklahoma weatherpeople/radar.)
I have never prayed so much in my life as I drove home. I had about 3 inches of visibility through my windshield into white-out conditions and I spun out three times - not to mention the idiots who thought this was passing-at-speed weather. But I made it home safe, as did my mother.
So why am I ungrateful? I got stuck at the bottom of my driveway! My car is going to be buried in the snow!
I know, tiny violins playing just for me, right?
Hope everyone is safe and has a very Merry!
