*What a horrible day*

Uh...what a long weekend!! I started work last week and it went pretty good expect for Friday (the 6th). I was on my way to work and it had snowed the night before. I decided I had better leave a couple minutes early so I could take my time on the freeway. I dropped Makenna off at Lori's and headed for work. I was about 10 minutes ahead of normal schedule so I thought "I better take it easy today." I was going about 50-55 mph, but I couldn't believe how many cars were flying by me. I thought "hmm...maybe I'm going too slow" but then realized I would be early to work so I took my time. Then it happened...time seemed to slow and before I knew it I could feel myself loosing control of my car. It almost felt like my wheels had locked up. I have slid on ice before but I've always felt I was in control...but not this time!! My car started to spin and I tried to pump my breaks so I could slow a little. I remember turning my wheel and feeling so calm. Then it seemed like everything went so fast. The front of my car smashed into the cement barrier on the side of the road just under the over pass. I remember bouncing off of it and spinning a couple more times and then I smashed my back end by the driver's side. It seemed like I was the only person on the road until I actually stopped and caught my breath. I was so lucky/thankful nobody was around me or I know I would've ran into them straight on. I remember starting to cry really really hard. I was faced towards traffic and the front of my car was in the left hand lane. I called my sister Lori and she couldn't tell if I was crying or laughing but I couldn't get myself to calm down...all I could think about was how happy I was my baby wasn't in the car with me. She told me to call 911 and I let them know where I was. I couldn't get my car to start and I was worried someone would hit me. Right after I got off the phone with the police a WONDERFUL gentlemen stopped and made sure I wasn't hurt, had a cell phone and someone was coming for me. I told him I was worried because my car wouldn't start and I was blocking traffic...he pushed my car out of the way and said he would wait until someone came for me before he left. Lori had called LeeRoy and he came and stayed with me and helped me with everything. I am SOOO thankful for such a wonderful family and caring husband who love me!! Nothing happened to me but it's crazy how we go through things to help us appreciate what we have and not to take it for granted.

Here is a couple of pictures I took the day after. It seems worse up close...but I'm really lucky it wasn't worse.
