Thank goodness for good friends, especially a good friend who offers to babysit, and lets you borrow her 4 wheel drive vehicle so you can navigate your way safely through snowy streets…
Last night I was in a panic! It was late, I was exhausted, Thade’s birthday was just another day away, and I had nothing for him, and the snow kept falling. I stayed up late to watch the area closings, and sure enough school (and preschool) was canceled. There goes my plan to shop for presents while he was in school. What on Earth was I going to do now?!?
This morning (still in a panic) I go out to the cars to get them de-iced, and the more I scrape, the faster it freezes. It is cold and I’m stressed. I go back in and give my best friend Shaunna a call, and she voulnteered to come to my rescue.
She came by to watch the kids, and even let me drive her car that was already defrosted, and had 4 wheel drive, so I would be safe. I was so relieved, I could get the birthday presents for Thade, so I offered to pick up lunch to say thanks for the babysitting. I really appreciated all of the help today, and the kids had fun too!
We had a fun day, and I’m not as stressed out as I was earlier, there will be birthday presents tomorrow, and a double layer chocolate cake too.
