Wednesday December 18, 2013....

     Grateful it is almost time to sleep but not grateful for the storm that is upon us.  I am not ready to make the death wish trip to work tomorrow. I hate how long it takes with every muscle tensed and knuckles white on the steering wheel, barely breathing.
      I'm grateful that it is Thursday tomorrow and we are that much closer to another weekend. I am grateful that it is almost Christmas and then we can be done with this wretched holiday for one more year.   I say it every year but next year I am definitely going to be ready because this year is sucking.
      I'm grateful for heat and the electricity, and job I don't want to die getting to in the morning.  I'm grateful that I so far have been able to feed my kids even though I can't provide much else for them.  I am to change that and change that I shall.
      Today I have spent the day smiling and trying to be as positive as possible at work. The day still went very slow.  I have high hopes that tomorrow being a Thursday will go faster than today did.
     Guess I should head off to bed to get some sleep so I can leave an hour early tomorrow to creep through the ice and snow.  God knows they don't care if we make it alive.  Perhaps I should move to Texas, if I lived there they would let me stay home if it snowed a skiff of snow across the road.  Oh well we are not in Texas, we are in Utah.  Where I should just get over the snow already and move on with a smile on my face.  (that would be easier with warm sunshine on my face.)
