Snow day

When it started snowing Saturday night, we weren't too concerned. When it continued into Sunday, we got a little concerned. When we woke up this morning, we became very concerned!!

Front yard and driveway

Backyard


Normally, I would enjoy the snow and play in the backyard with Georgie or sit and look out the window. Today I have to make it 25km (each way) to see my boys. I'm currently listening to the news and they are saying more snow is falling!!! Because we don't live in a subdivision and live a bit farther out than most (read - no pizza delivery service), our road doesn't get plowed unless one of the neigbours do it.

I only got my driver's license a few years ago, so I don't have years of experience, let alone driving in the snow. I think I have had to drive in it only two or three times and that was just from the commuter train to home which is all of 5km!!

Yesterday our boys were moved from a private room to a ward room and they now share a room with another baby. That's fine, BUT there is now no bed for us to relax in. The suggestion yesterday was for Glenn to drop me off on his way to the office and then come and get me on his way home, which would leave me at the hospital for 6 hours. Now with no bed and just a rocking chair I don't think my butt could handle it.

My dilemma, do I risk the drive to the hospital, do I just suck it up and spend 6 hours in a chair or do I just wait and go tonight with Glenn?

Well I know that option 2 is o-u-t...OUT, and I'm leaning toward option 1, but there is one LARGE hill near the hospital, which scares the crap outta me!!!! Option 3 is a remote possibility, but then that means I won't have seen my babies for 22 hours!!!

Maybe I can convince Glenn to take a "snow day" and we both can go twice today.

Safe driving everybody!
