Snow and Driving

I just talked to my sister. She lives in Issaquah, up on the plateau and she works in Bellevue. She left work at 4:30 this afternoon, and is still at least a half mile just from the exit she takes off the freeway to her house!! She still has to navigate off the freeway, onto Front Street and then pray that the HUGE (and I mean HUGE) hill is driveable. If she can't get her car up the hill, her only choice is to walk up it! Please pray if you are reading this tonight. Then she has to walk quite a bit more (probably a couple of miles in all) before it is safe enough for her husband to come get her (the have a 2 year old that has to come with him as well). This is way too out of control. I pray that everyone out there is driving safe and arrives home safely!

Sidenote: My sister arrived home safely at 11:45pm...over 7 hours after she left work tonight! I pray that the rest of the drivers out there get home safely!

Snow Again and Again

Wow! Another day in Western Washington where schools are closed, roads are icy, and people are grumbling (that would be me) while the kids are shouting with glee....yep it is another SNOW DAY. We were watching the news last night, and for the past few days, and all they've been saying is snow, snow, snow. I truly didn't believe that it would snow again, and that schools would be closed again!

Normally, I wouldn't be so agitated...but I got a call to go into work this morning...and it was great because it was a two hour late start day (but I would've gotten paid for the whole day), then I was waking up to actually go in I got a call that school was cancelled. Yuck, there goes a good chunk of change. I like days, I really do, but I haven't worked for a few weeks because of Christmas break and I have no regular source of income coming in...I really needed todays pay. Oh well, God knows that He will provide for me...of that I have no worries!

So for all of you who didn't have to go to work or used the snow as an excuse not to go to work...HAVE FUN!
