So what is with the idiots?

This past Saturday we got some icy snow, the first that has really stuck to the ground. I was out and about with the boys doing some Christmas shopping when it started about 12:15pm. I had just gotten to Walmart so I went in and did my thing and was out about 45mins later. Since it's 1pm and I'd not eaten all day I decided to get me something to eat. After leaving the drive thru I saw my life and the lives of my children flash before my eyes.

Here I am stuck at a red light at an intersection that was pure ice. This smaller SUV tried to make a right hand turn and managed to do a 180 instead of the 90 degree turn he needed to do. He was stuck because there were cars behind him stuck at the same light and well he's on ice and in front of him is a curb and a Midas. So I'm patiently waiting at this light, wondering what this poor guy (or woman) is going to do to get out of the mess he/she is in when the light turns red for the cross street. This idiot woman had wanted to make a left turn where that SUV was now blocking her way. She decides that instead of backing up and waiting for the light to turn green again and give the SUV time to move out of the way or going forward and finding a different route that isn't blocked....to go ahead and make her turn in spite of the route being blocked! So now she's not only helping to block those lanes (heading West) but the cross street lanes (heading South!) OMG what a total and complete moron! It was then that I saw in my mind some other idiot come along and hit that ice and create some major pileup there at the intersection and kill me and my boys! As soon as I could make my turn I got us out of there and home where we should have been in the first place!

I'm a winter baby, I took my drivers test on January 16th right after a huge snow storm, I know how to drive in the winter but now with kids and being pregnant, it's so not about MY ability, it is so much more about the idiots on the road putting my kid's and my life in jeopardy!

If I could just stay at home for the rest of winter and never have to drive with the kids again (Including Jonny!!) I so would do it!
