Woke up this morning. Had snowed and iced on Monday, then iced and sleeted again Tuesday night. My wife had broken her ankle right after Christmas.
Told her Tuesday and Wednesday she couldn't go to work because of all the ice and slipping hazards.
Tuesday morning, cleared off most of the snow and ice off the sidewalks and driveway. Tried to buy some salt at the store but they were sold out.
Wednesday morning, recleared off some of the ice and driveway.
Thursday morning, since my wife was going to work, needed to clear off the sidewalk and driveway around her van so she wouldn't slip. Was a ***** getting it all and when 90% done, my back was almost spasming so I went in to rest for a min.
"Are you done?" Asked my wife.
"Almost, backs just hurting a bit trying to get it all off"
"Why don't you put some salt on the ice" she says.
"We don't have any, and the store was sold out" I say.
"Yes we do"
"No, we don't. I checked the basement. I used up all what we had last year."
"No, my grandmother brought some for us last week in case we got some ice."
"...............You're......just telling me this now?" I ask, a bit peeved.
"Yeah, why?"
"I cleaned off the driveway tuesday....and you didn't mention this."
"I cleaned off the driveway wednesday...and you didn't mention this."
"I just about cleared every bit of the driveway off today and you just NOW mention THIS?" I ask....very peeved.
"I just forgot, nothing to get mad about."
I left the room at that point to keep from saying bad things.
Go to work, planning to meet my wife at Fazoli's and pick up Josh on the way there. Amazing timing has us there 1 min before she gets there. Wife pulls up and gets out. Locks the van. With the keys in it.
"Do you have keys to the Van?" she asks.
"No, I just have my keys, why?"
"I locked them in the van"
".......well.....where is the spare set?" I asked, meaning where at the house are they.
"I.......think they are in the van."
"Why are both sets of keys in the van?" I ask...getting frustrated.
"I couldn't find mine one day...so I put took them instead and never put them up.....I think. They might be in my backpack in the bedroom."
I go inside, and head off to home to see if they are there. While searching I find on the chair next to her spare purse 2 envelopes. They are from my sister, to me and my son. For our birthdays. That were over 2 weeks ago. That I never got. Of course....the keys were not there either.
So, long story, not so short. I'm playing WoW tonight and my wife is NOT getting any.
Hopefully everyone else is having a better night than me.
