It was a slippery ride home from school yesterday afternoon. It started to sleet/freezing rain just about the time we got out of school. I had Trent but no Addy and we headed home. Jon called and said it was icy so be careful. I asked if he wanted to drive us home but he said to just drive slow. I was doing just that when going past Bill Trumm's the van started to slide and pretty soon we were half in and half out of the ditch on the other side of the road. Trent was pretty good about it. He just asked what I was doing and what was happening. I immediately called Jon to come and get us, said a prayer that no one would come around the corner and slam into us, and began to try to get off the road. I did manage to get off on the shoulder of the road heading back to town. I hate ice. Jon and Dempsey eventually came and we headed back to town with the truck and van and left the van in town. We were lucky no one was coming and we stopped where we did.
Little Miss Addy and Trenten are spending the night at Mama's and Papa's tonight. I better get to bed cause I have a feeling I will be up several times tonight cause Addy is not feeling the best yet. Trent is sleeping in a sleeping bag in our room. We will see how that goes.
Only 2 weeks til Christmas. Yikes! Not quite done shopping and haven't even started thinking about the cooking and baking. Oh well it will come and go too fast like always. Slow down, Mr. Time!
