Today my husband was the bug and I was the windshield but not at the same time.
I started my day with a fresh blank of white snow a fresh mind and a new day. I finished my work from home around noon and now my day begins to get crazy. It has snowed two days out of three-and last night/this morning it really dumped on us-over 6 inches on top of the 6 we got the day before (which some spots is higher or lower depending on the drifts the snow made yesterday). Hubs hadn’t gotten our main road plowed completely.
As I am pulling up the hill that takes me to our road I see Hubs backing his trailer down the hill-slowly-all of the sudden the trailer and truck slide and he jackknifes the truck and trailer-which crushed the dually wheel well fender and really dented the front corner of the enclosed trailer. I think I may have held my breath from the time he slid until he got the truck trailer straight again and got out of his truck </em>(and put my truck in 4-wheel drive). Hubs is pretty good at keeping cools, but he WAS P**SED! I tried to say that “things like this happen,” but decided to get back in my truck, go on my way and call him later after the steam stopped coming out of his ears. Poor Hubs! He LOVES THAT truck! He did eventually shake it off, but still a little upset about that truck.
I on the other hand had a FANTASTIC day. I was busier than a bee. Real estate call, after real estate call-a complete nut house, but somehow that is how I work the best and am completely on my game! Still working at 6 pm I showed a couple with three kids their house (that they had put under contract this past weekend). There is something catching about a family of five being elated about their new digs. The kids ran around checking out (for at least the third time) each room with complete joy! The wife was planning where everything would go and the hubs was letting his wife just be happy. It completed my day like no other day I have had lately. I thought to myself as I said goodbye to them-this is why I sell houses-to help people realize their home purchasing dreams and build their life in their home.
So quite the day we both have had.
