Baby, It's Cold Outside

Wow, winter has come in with a vengeance!!!! We had enjoyed such nice weather for so long that we were bound to get some nasty stuff. Well, yesterday the nasty hit. Actually, Monday was bad with temps at 8 degrees, and the windchill of -11. YIKES!!! Woke up to snow yesterday and it got worse during the morning. Slick stuff that was so icy. (I'm still surprised the kids didn't have a snowday) I left my house at 11:15for my RS Presidency meeting being held at Lindsay's house at 12:15.

My plan was for a quick stop at Kinko's to pick up an order, then drive to her house. I got stuck on the hill trying to turn into Kinko's. Took me 15 minutes to finally get up. Went in Kinko's only to find they didn't do what I wanted, and would have to come back for the right order. Left there at noon and would be at Lindsay's right on time. 10 minutes later realized I was on the wrong street(due to not paying attention), got to the right street, then stuck on the tiny hill turning into Lind's subdivision. I wanted to scream and cry at the same time. It was almost 12:40 now, and I couldn't call anyone for help or to tell the ladies why I was so late since my cell was dead. I said a quick prayer to get up the hill, and finally got my car up it. Guess I should've prayed sooner. Anyway, came into the meeting like a whirlwind!! Felt like I ruined the whole feeling of the meeting.
Sorry y'all!!!

So what did I learn from this adventure?
#1 Always have my cell phone charged, especially on bad weather days.
#2 Pray first, pray always!!!!
#3 Get new tires for my car(ones that will at least drive in 3 inches of snow. That's right maybe 3 inches, but it was a mess out there!)

Side note: I'm still getting used to my braces. 1 week down and I'm doing better. My orthodontist fixed a few things yesterday, and I can finally bite down to chew food. Inside of my mouth is still sore, but everyone is saying it will get better. Hopefully soon!!!!!
