So in my previous post I wrote that we had a couple inches of snow. Correction, we had more like 5 inches of snow.
Friday I had to be at an elementary school in Sugar City at 9:15am, and pick up a couple of people along the way. I thought I was being really good becasue I was ready at 8:25 and cleaning off my car around 8:30. Well a few minutes later my windows were clean but my car was stuck, and I mean really stuck.
It took three guys to get me out of the parking lot. Then I tried pulling out of the long alley to get onto a street but there was a truck blocking my way, and yes he was stuck in the snow! Three guys later the truck was back in its parking lot and the boy decided to walk to class. But of course I was stuck again! I couldn't drive through the alley without 4 guys huffing and puffing pushing me up hill. I was embarrassed, and worried I would be late, and frustrated that I had to ask for so much help( I think I'm becoming a bit of a feminist as I get older.)
It was a great day at the school, but as I was still flustered and driving home I slid a couple times. I got to my driveway and could tell I was going to get stuck again. Well that was not going to happen, so I pulled out and drove to campus and bought a campus parking permit. My car will be parked at the Hinckley until the lot is cleared.
As I was walking back home I was so frustrated and mad about the whole morning. I started thinking that this would never have happened if it hadn't snowed. I was so angry and mad at the snow. I worked myself up into such a stew that looked up into the sky and thought, "You really should do something about this snow." It sounded so much like statements I had heard in advising, and I think I was trying to submit a formal complaint with Heavenly Father.
The thought was so ridiculous that I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Oh gosh, who do I think I am! As I laughed at myself I wasn't really mad anymore, and I looked up and noticed how beautiful the trees looked all covered with snow.

What a wonderful way to end your story. It just made me laugh. Sorry about all of the snow.
(Make a snowman for us!) We miss real snow.
Planet Tressa continues to be a wonderful plance except for the muddy roads or the snow on the ground. Keep looking to the heavens.
Matthew 5:45
...for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
