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???

    2. You’re supposed to have rugs (welcome mats) in the car to put under the tires I think. But on a good note, perhaps the pond was not safe and you were saved from getting wet …?

      Or perhaps just a lesson in humility, ha ha Don’t we all get those.

    3. You have given the family something priceless: a basically harmless but embarassing story to tell about Dad.

      (Someday even he will find it funny.)

    5. Not quite the memorable experience you were looking for but something to remember none the less.
      Glad you got out safely.
      Thanks for stopping by. Take care and have a blessed evening.
