Just one of those days

For those of you that did not hear about my lovely morning on Friday, I thought I would share. So Thursday night while watching the snow come down I decided that I wasn't going to let a little snow stop me from my morning ritual of attending the gym, so Friday morning I got up and got the kids ready and headed to the gym (I had a great workout may I add).  On the way home however is when the dreaded event unfolded. As a shortcut I cut through a neighborhood which has a tiny hill. On the way up the hill I noticed that another car had had difficulties getting up the hill so I popped the car into four wheel drive and decided to gun it a little so I wouldn't get stuck. Well just upon reaching the top if the hill I hit a piece of ice and totally lost control. Needless to say we headed straight for the curb and a tree....yup hit the tree and landed on the sidewalk. Can I say freaky?  It definitely was not the highlight of my day; however, I am grateful to report that we are all ok (except for the tree...my car won).  Definitely an experience I do not wish to relive again.
