I popped my little head up at 530 this morning and immediately looked at my phone in hopes that school was canceled. It wasn't. I fully expected the roads to be completely terrible. We had a lot of rain that froze over and then we got a good bit of snow (about 7 inches at our house). Driving to work wasn't that bad.....but I was behind people who went like 35 the entire way. It was a completely different story when I got to the parking lot at work. Usually, the school district scrapes the snow and then lays gravel. This morning all they did was scrape. When I pulled into the parking lot, it looked like a sheet of glass. Seriously. I parked and when I was looking around I noticed someone get out of their car, stand up, and immediately fall down. All I could think is "how in the world am I going to get out of my car without falling down?" I managed to get out of my car and get my stuff (tomorrow I will be using a bookbag as my work bag). I began the treacherous hike to the building. I did not even pick my feet up....I shuffled the entire way. I preferred trudging my way through the snow than try to cross the slick roads. I have never seen a parking lot that slick. I did make it in the building. HOWEVER, when I went out the side of the building to go out to my relo.....I made a discovery. They did not dig out the relos.
Check out all of that fresh snow!
I scrambled my way around the buildings to my friend Kim's relo. She had used her shovel to shovel her way to her relo. I did not put a shovel in my relo because I figured they would scrape it for us. Nope. So out of her relo I go and back into the snow that is about 8-9 inches deep. I get over to my relo and I get in (let me tell you those stairs were fun). When I got back out, Kim had come out with her shovel as well as 2 other teachers. They began to shovel out around their relos and mine. They refused to let me shovel or help because I am pregnant. I work with some sweet people!
Crazy start to my day. It made the rest of the day feel off somehow.....
