Oh my GOSH!!!! I can understand - we just spent 13 hours on what should have been a five hour drive. Agh! Glad you are back.
I was so worried about Nermal. I had the deadbolt on and the only 2 people with the key to the house are the landlady and the handyman. The handyman is out of town for 3 weeks and the landlady lives on the opposite side of the county and couldn't get out of her driveway. I was so thankful to get home AND that we hadn't broken down farther away, so as bad as it was, it could have been much worse. For awhile I was afraid we were going to be spending Christmas stuck in traffic. I was talking to a Little Rock cop around 10 this morning, and he said there were 285 accidents reported since 8 am and probably a lot more that weren't. I'm sure that some people's Christmas will be sad as result, so I feel I have a lot to be thankful for, especially getting home safely. I think many did not.
WHAT the heck is happening in the South??? Did our Artic air decide to take a dip southward? I think so.
