I somehow
managed to ignore every single one of them.
At 8:00 I
sit straight up in bed.
A quick
glance at the clock and I knew I was going to be seriously late!
I hurried
through my morning routine.
Throwing
my clothes on, I grabbed everything else I needed and rushed out the door.
OH NO! I had forgotten about the
snow & ice from yesterday.
There was thick
ice on every window and my ice scrapper was broken!
I start
the car hoping that it won’t take long to melt the thick ice.
A few
seconds later, I realize that this was not going to work quickly enough.
I try not
to panic as I rushed back to get the De-Icer.
My eyes
quickly scan the garage until I located it on the floor.
I try to
open the container but apparently I’m not smart enough to figure out how to
open it.
In what
some might consider a rage, I grabbed a huge knife and stab the plastic container.
I knew I probably needed to eat something so I hastily grabbed a
banana from the counter.
Outside,
I quickly poured the De-Icer and noticed that there was an abundance of liquid going everywhere.
It's not
working! Panic mode sets in once again.
Seconds later it starts to do its magic! I could now see to drive.
I start
my journey to my early rehearsal for bell choir at church.
Perhaps
next time I should set FOUR alarms.
That is a dreaded moment. Everyone knows it too well...panic! I'm glad the de-icer worked, finally. We always seem to get where we need to be even when we have a lapse in getting up on time.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I could feel your panic as I was reading. Thankfully I don't have to deal with snow and thick ice here in WA but I do know what it feels like when you forget to warm the car up to melt the thin ice layer from a chilly night. So glad that you were able to attack that de-icer and get to church on time.
