How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Car Stuck. Snow Sucks.

in Everyday on

I’m not supposed to talk about it. 

Hubby is not impressed….um with himself!  Hello?  I am a blogger.  These are the moments we live for!

We thought we would do something special, something memorable with the kids.  The sun was finally shining so a plan was hatched.  Take the girls skating way out in the country at a private pond.  Just the four of us, our skates and some hot chocolate.  Sounds perfect right? 

That is not what happened. 

This is what happened.  We went off roading. Ya know, to get closer to the pond?  Just a wee bit off the beaten track, and those tires, they got stuck.  They just spun and spun, and dug us down into a big fat muddy hole. 

No matter what we tried, we were not driving away from this one.

Was it as bad as it looked?  Nope. It was WAY worse.

We were stuck  OUT THERE (that white spec behind the tree)….for hours.  SUVstuck2 We had to call for help.  Apparently this is not very manly.  Men don’t like to call for help.

The car is in the shop.  It’s not funny yet. 

Well, at least not to him.  How many days until Spring???

    1. So. I WOULD think this was funny -really, I would, because you are a funny gal – had I not recently had an incident like this all by my lonesome. Ummm…in my own neighborhood. After an evening of cocktails with girlfriends. While wearing flip-flops…yes, on a snowy evening.

      So maybe that’s funny, too, now that I think about it. We can compare notes sometime over a glass of vino, K?

    2. You’re right, great blog material (Not fun though!)! Hehehe…

      Can I just say, “Um, what was he thinking?”

      Yay for getting unstuck. Yay for spring being just around the corner! 🙂

    8. It is great when you can see the humor and of course, the blog post potential in these things!:) I enjoyed reading it, wouldn’t have wanted to be there but it makes a good story!:)

      Hope you are having a great day!

    11. Oh My! I just watched a story about Katie Kim a women who got stuck in the snow in the middle of nowhere with her two kids and husband for ten days! The story was riveting. Consider yourself lucky.
