Wow, what an adventure!

Yesterday turned into quite an adventure when my school closed down and basically pushed everyone out the doors at 4 PM. It had to happen on a day when I somehow forgot my wallet at home and my cell phone fell out of my coat pocket in Liz's car, perfect timing right? No big worries though because I had my handy dandy UC student ID which allows me to ride the metro buses for free and there's a metro that goes straight from school to about a half mile from my house.

So I use a phone at school to call John and tell him what's going on so he doesn't come to pick me up at 6 and I bundle up and head out to wait for the bus. As I walk to the bus stop I see a bus pull up and sure enough its my bus but I wasn't close enough to get there in time and there wasn't anyone to hold it for me. Still not too big of a worry the snow is picking up but I know that another bus is scheduled to come in about 45 minutes. Well...45 minutes came and went and then another 45 minutes and at this point we haven't seen a single bus at all in about an hour (and this is a very busy bus stop). So the people that I have been waiting with for the past hour or so and I start trying to decide what our options are. The school wasn't going to let us in they had already locked the doors and closed up. Traffic was at a near standstill but we didn't see any buses in the distance. At this point we were all freezing and an inch of snow had accumulated on our heads, arms, and bags. That's right we were officially turning into snow people.

Luckily we saw a bus coming from the opposite direction and heading towards downtown. None of us cared what bus it was we all hopped on and hoped that we would make it downtown to either catch another bus heading towards our destinations or catch a ride elsewhere. At this point it is about 5:30 PM and I had gone out to start waiting at 3:45 PM. The bus ride normally about 30 minutes so I knew that if John managed to make it home he would be worried about me. One of the new snow friends I had made offered me the use of his cell phone so I could call John. When I reached him he was stuck in traffic and hadn't even made it downtown yet so I told him to meet me downtown and just pick me up there. We made it downtown by 6 PM, usually only a ten minute ride and I called John again. He was still at least 30 minutes away because of traffic on the highway, usually only 15 minutes from his work to downtown.

I headed over to the downtown mall to wait for him and finally he got there at about 6:20 PM. We made the trek to get Dommie from daycare which wasn't too bad because it seemed like most people were stuck on the highway and we took back roads. We got Dommie and headed to Buffalo Wild Wings to get dinner and wait for the roads to clear some more. At this point at least 2 inches of snow had accumulated on top of the 2 inches we had already and now it was sleeting out.

We made it home around 8 PM and boy what a day it was! I guess it continued sleeting for awhile because John got to have a snow day today and stay home with Dommie and I. He had to work from home but we still got some snuggle time in and I was able to shower without too much trouble from the Dramanic.

If you've made it this far then WTG! I'll update my TTC news and tell you some about my latest Quick Page Set. I am at 4 dpo and I will probably break down and take a test Sunday or Monday morning since we bought the early tests that supposedly show results as early as 6 dpo. We're hoping but if it isn't our month then we'll just keep trying (It's not too much of a hardship LOL!).

Tomorrow or later today I'll be posting the preview of my latest Quick Page Set called Coral Delight. I'll also be posting up a great freebie that you can get to go with the Quick Page Set. A Blog Headers Set and freebie should be following shortly within the next few days.
