I was worried about not being able to get up the driveway tomorrow, so I decided that at the very least, I should go outside and turn my car around. Well, I should have thought through the process a bit more before I did what I did. :rolleyes:
We have had a lot of rain over the past couple of days and the ground is pretty saturated. The snow is accumulating on the grass, trees, cars, mailboxes, and our roof. I decided to pull the car into the front yard and just do a quick turn around instead of going around the block to back down our driveway. Um, big mistake, HUGE! :headache:
My car got stuck. I tried to go further into the yard and attempt different paths, but it only got me stuck in other areas. Corey tried to help me, but she really wasn't dressed for it, so we came inside to regroup. She called AAA and she got dressed for the attempt to push me out of the 5 to 6 inches of mud that my car was sunken into. After about 20 minutes of struggling and pushing, we freed the car. :woohoo: Our neighbor's yard is a little tracked through, which we are going to have to repair. She said it was ok to go through there, thank God. Corey is all proud of herself for pushing the car out of the mess. Frankly, as messy as it is, I was pretty much resigned to the fact that we were going to have to get a tow truck.
So, in the end, the car was backed down the driveway and hopefully, I will have a better chance of being able to get out to go to work in the morning. And as always, Corey is my hero! :lovestruc
