I can learn a few things from my kids!
Yesterday I had to pick up our neighbor Joey and bring him to the bus stop. Our road is glare ice and his driveway was no exception. They have a little bit of a hill to get up the driveway to their house. I did okay getting up the hill. But, when I was trying to turn around to go back out of their driveway, I couldn't get the car turned around because I was spinning on ice and snow. After a few futile moments of trying, I let out a sigh and said a few choice words under my breath. I then resigned myself to the fact that I would have to call my sweet, loving husband at work and tell him that I had the car stuck in our neighbors driveway. How humiliating! and not a task I was looking forward to because I knew he wouldn't let me live this one down for at least the next 6 months. Mike looks at me and says "mom, why don't you just try to straighten out the wheels and back up." I looked at him and said, "How would you know what to do, you don't even have a driver's license." But, I figured I had nothing to lose accept the call to the hubby. So, I did and we were able to turn around and drive out of the driveway to the bus stop. WHEW! that was a close one and Mike grinned all the way to the bus stop. Gotta love kids.
