STUCK!

Small town America isn't as unkind as we think it is. This morning Bob and i were leaving for school and got stuck exiting our driveway. yeah. we were real stuck. so, bob gets out to push and i try to to the good ol' reverse/forward (repeat) process. this worked until we were having traffic stop for us because were were sticking way out into the road.
after just a little bit of time, a man that lives on our street pulled over to help bob push. he was so nice, offering advice and getting all snowy while trying to free our car from the result of the plows last evening. with his help, we were able to get almost free, but still stuck. finally another guy pulled over and helped push. he added just enough oomph to help up escape the snow-bank monster! we thanked the nice men and went on our way.
today i learned two things:
1. plan ahead (like mom said, "when you are adults you need to get up early enough to shovel your way out...")
2. there are nice people everywhere (i should be one of them more often!)
