to cry a little *snow*

Its started snowing again where I live quite heavily and starting to settle.
I am 12 weeks pregnant and high risk on blood thinners and if I fall over I will bruise badly and best.

Last time we had snow I was stuck indoors for the entire week but with 3dcs and school runs its quite difficult to be able to stay indoors and my car is in need of repair so unusable and I have an 8mile walk to and from dc1s school each day.
AIBU to sit and cry at the thought of the snow settling and my life being completely disrupted again?

8 miles?! Can you not take a taxi or the bus?

what is local forecast?
We have slushy stuff falling but don't think it will last tomorrow morning.

8 miles each way?

Can you catch the bus?

8 mile? Seriously? or is it 2 mile each way, 4 times a day. Still 87 mile, but not 8 each way

YANBU to cry, I totally understand why, but surely there is another parent going the same way?

which region are you in? I can do you a quick amateur forecast if you like.

Its only 2miles each way but twice a day it adds up, we dont have a bus route up where I am which means walking 25 minutes in the opposite direction to get the bus which only runs hourly so would either be very early or very late.
Taxis round here are about £4 each way which is an outgoing I can't afford even for one day at the moment.

Have no family about that could help and no friends, DP is at work and DCs dad is less than reliable :-(

Im going to have to do it and pray I dont fall over.

Last time I had to keep DC1 off a couple of days but its not ideal to have to keep doing it.
