Trying to get home

Ok soooo, this is my normal route home. Got off at 1 p.m. it had stopped raining so thought I'd just take my normal route. Get close to home, this is the road before my road and this is my first obstacle.  So I can see the gravel somewhat down the middle so me, Gizmo and my SUV go through, after much thought and a couple of texts, one to my boss and one to my husband.  So I get through, thinking ALRIGHT! I'm gonna get home. Then I come around the corner to be faced with the view of what's in the 2nd picture.  

I sit and watch, noticing the pickups on the other side are parked. Hmmm, well it's running fast and that is the small river running across that road so if it's to deep, takes my SUV, me, Gizmo then we will be swimming. So I back up, turn around,  go back through the one I'd just come through and headed to another route. Well, only to come almost to the road I was originally on but on the other side of the flooding I had faced to see the river out on that road too. Well crap. By this time hubby has called and said don't try that one either. Turn around and go through Richmond and take 13 then cut over to the house from FF. Okay so away I go. 

So a drive that usually takes me 20 to 25 minutes took me an hour. I finally got home a little after 2 because I had to try a 3rd route. Thank goodness our road wasn't flooded yet and if it rains again tonight at least I'm off tomorrow and if flooded in I'm at home. Jeesh!!!!

Thank goodness for home sweet home. 

My boss did offer me her house in town to stay in. I just love my boss. 

Good thing I filled up my gas tank ($80) (thanks Brandon, you dumb fuck) or I would have run out of gas too. My SUV has a V-6 in it. Can't imagine having to fill my pickup.
