My white trash moment...
So we are having sleet and ice issues today. In DC, that means that the roads are a mess and the idiots driving are causing accidents. It's best to wait it out or stay home all together. I chose to wait it out and see how the weather turns. My DH had to go in to the office. Today also happens to be trash day. Rob always takes the trash out...except for today. WTH? Our steps outside are solid ice. How am I supposed to get the trash out? It has to go out, I just cleaned out the fridge!
I did it the white trash way! I stood at the top of our steps and HEAVED the bag. I must say, I'm a pretty good shot. I could make it to the Olypmics if they had a trash throwing event. The best part....the outfit I wore while doing this. Below are the steps. You can see the patch of grass by the driveway - this is where the bag goes.
The white areas are the ice that has bubbled from the salt...the dark wet areas are pure ice. Now, don't think I'm a total wimp or anything. I've tackled these steps in the winter before. This time, however, I'm 15 weeks pregnant and those rails are covered in ice as well. There is not managing them this time around. So, for the wonderful outfit that makes this 'white trash'....
Yes, I stood outside on the step with my bulging preggo belly in my pink fuzzy roab with my UGGS on, throwing a trash bag. Ahh, to not care what your neighbors think is so liberating!
Can't wait to see them again!!!!
