"Jesus Take the Wheel!"

Yeah- I just experienced the song ALMOST word for word...but I wasnt the one spinning, it was the guy in front of me.

I was bringing the boys to Grandma's house and we were going up the very steep and curvy road we always take to get to her house. It snowed a little bit today, but the blowing snow didnt help the roads...not only that, they are melting a bit, so it gives people this false sense of how slippery the road really are.

I had some guy riding my bumper most of the way up the hill, so I was relieved when I came up behind the guy in front of me who was averaging 25-30 mph. This was good for all of about 30 seconds untill he got a little too far to the right of the road and hit a patch of slushy snow while going around a steep turn. He spun completely out of control- thankfully I had room to stop without hitting him. The guy behind me was barely able to stop without smashing into my bumper...which is why I hate people who tailgate in the first place. Ok...so we are safe from behind and my attention goes back to the red truck flailing out of control in front of us. (It was just me and my 3 boys at the time). I watch helplessly with no where to go to get out of the way, as he slides into the opposing lane of traffic, corrects himself and ends up coming AT us back in our lane, then swerves to avoid hitting us head on and goes sideways up the steep ditch and almost flips his truck over which would have rolled right into the front of my van.

Once he stopped, I sat there frozen- and finally got it together and pulled off on a little driveway to go back and see if the guy was ok or needed help. The guy behind me had already stopped to talk to him and told me he didnt want any help and had already called for help to get out of the ditch- so I get back in my van and drive th esecond half of the crappy curvy road. I come to almost the end of it when this other car comes flying UP the hill as I am going down it...but he is half way in MY lane! I had to swerve to the right a little to get out of his way. Thankfully- I get out of that one with out spinning out like the other guy did!

One we get to Jakes mom's, I get the kids out and give them big hugs and realize how bad that could have been. And of couse...Ryan was in the back seat sleeping like a rock. Crazy, scarey, scarey stuff. My whole bodystill feels like spaghetti  and that was about and hour ago.
