But, to be on the safe side, I stayed at her house...a little closer to work.
I woke up this morning; took a shower, dried my hair, got dressed, then started out the door to get my car started.
Leah said,"Stephanie! You're not seriously getting out in this are you?"
I said,"Yeah. I have to! Patients are coming in. I have to."
She said,"Have you seen it out there?"
"No, but it doesn't matter. I HAVE to go in."
"But have you seen it out there?"
"No. But I HAVE to go in."
"Ok, just be careful. Don't wreck. Don't wreck."
I opened the door and ohh emm gee!! It was a winter wonderland! And it was still coming down.
Stupid me; I go outside in my scrubs and Converse, sinking into the snow. My pants getting soaking wet. Get to the car, step off the curb, and freaking sink down to my knee!
But I'm still attempting this!! I started the car. Blasted the heater/defrost and began tracking back inside.
But then, as I'm brushing my teeth and getting my mascara/eye liner on, my heart starts pounding.
Can I really make it to work? What if I get stuck in the snow like I did the Christmas before last, heading out to my mom's? I was on the side of the road for 2 hours!
Not only that, but I forgot my phone charger last night....I only have ONE bar on my phone!
Oh well. I HAVE to go to work. But man, I have a bad feeling about this!
I go out to the car, get in, turn on the windshield wipers...they won't budge. I scrape the window, my fingers are numb!! I come back inside to get some gloves from Leah and tell her I think I already have frost bite.
Hey, this is Texas. We're not really used to this kind of weather! :)
Ugh, I go back to the car back up to leave....and get stuck. Yes, I drove a whole foot and got stuck. Try as I might...I can't get out. I go forward, I go backward...STUCK!
All that work for nothing. I have to call in.
Damn, my paycheck is going to be mad at me!
So, here I am...cozy in Lucia's bed, with the blowdryer blowing on my (too close for comfort, frost bit) feet.
Just got a text from Brenda at work telling me that we're closed down for tomorrow...see ya Thursday.
Man, my paycheck is going to suck.
Oh well...what are you gonna do?
Wow, that was a long story. With really no great climax. Sorry about that! :)
So as I said in my last post, I brought "Scream" over to watch last night. Lucia said she wanted a scary movie.
I don't think "Scream" is really a scary movie...but I sure did the first time I saw it! So, I figured Lucia would like it! She and Jack both love scary movies.
But I guess I didn't realize how scary it could be for a 9 year old and a 3 year old.
Lucia and Jack "watching" Scream:
hahahahahaha.
They're outside playing in the snow. I guess I'll go take some pics of this crazy blizzard! ;)
Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!!

OMG you're brave event attempting to trek out in this crazy weather!! Philip thought he had to work as well and got up early to de-ice his car. I was SO glad when they said the mall was closed today! :) I only wish he knew that last night when I already knew I was going to be off so we could have slept in! I stayed up late watching Forensic Files and then had trouble sleeping haha
That's too funny of Jack and Lucia watching "Scream" :)
I hope we get snowed in tomorrow too!! :) You're so lucky you already know you will be off :) Although it does suck not to be making that money :( Enjoy the snow day! :)
I read about that on Marianne's facebook and I'm terribly jealous of all the snow. Obviously we don't get any in northern California, and although the weather is gorgeous here, I am yearning for a real live storm. It's so beautiful and so fun--especially if you're Marianne and you don't have to go to WORK today!!!!
Awwww you are a very brave and strong young lady, girl I would have peeked outside and said snowday to bad and rightback to bed.Lucia looks so cute watching Scream ;) it is scary for them miguelito will run in and out the room ;) haha! Enjoy your snowday tomorrow sleep in! And watch scary movies really late!
