Frozen......

It is totally freezing here people ~ and I mean FREEZING!!
I cannot get warm ~ no matter how much I try ~ I have the heating on full blast and about 20 layers of clothes (not a good look believe me ~ ha ha !!).

The car was soooooo frozen this morning that I couldn't get the door open AND to add insult to injury ~ just when I thought I was getting somewhere with all the de icing malarky.....the damn de icer spray ran out!! SO ~ I had to stand and scrape the rest of the car ~ with the most rubbish scraper that I have ever had!! The man next door cheerfully came out and threw what I can only presume was warm water over his car ~ got in and drove off ~ while I was still standing there (nice man ~ tee hee!!) ~ not that I would throw water over a frozen car ~ knowing the way that my luck goes ~ the windscreen would smash into a million pieces!!!

Finally I was finished de icing and away we went ~ on the school run ~ which is always interesting! Where do all the mad people come from in the mornings when I am driving to the school? Every morning is like dicing with death ~ people pulling out and overtaking ~ the road from where we live to the school is notoriously bad for accidents ~ it is a straight road with a big dip in the middle ~ so people insist on overtaking and then suddenly realise that they have not seen the car coming the other way ~ because it was in the dip ~ which makes for some hair raising experiences ~ thank goodness I have 10 years of Police Driver training under my belt ~ I have needed it the last few days ha ha !!!!!

Finally we got to school ~ parked the car and suddenly Daniel looks at me ~ HORROR on his face ~ "Mum I have forgotten my school project and it is due in today ~ I am going to get told off " ~ and he promptly bursts in to tears (not something that my almost 11 year old boy does often ~so I knew it must be bad!!!) ~ SO ~ being the Mummy (that should be MAD MUMMY!) ~ that I am ~ I said "Don't cry darling ~ I will drop you at school and go home and get it!" ~ Which is exactly what I did .............AND diced with death a second time on the road from hell!!

The sacrafices we Mums make (tee hee!!) ~ but he was smiling when I took his project back into school ~ and that sweet smile is what makes every single day worthwhile!!! XXXX
