Car = Totaled

Well, as of Jan 8, 2009, I am another year older. I am now 27 years old! And I have never been happier to have aged!
My day started out as normal, get up, get the kids up, get them ready for school . . . same old stuff that makes my life exciting. I did have an appointment with a friend of mine for prenatal education at 12, so my brother was coming out from the city to watch my two younger ones. But that is still pretty typical, I run to the city a few times a month with my line of work. Heck, I had been there already 2 days before with a client. She had a beautiful baby boy by the way.
Anyways, my brother got here in time for me to get out to the other side of the city on time. However after I started driving, I realized the roads sucked, and with blowing snow, visability was poor to say the least. But I figured I'll take my time, call my friend to let her know I'll be running behind. No biggy! After about half hour on the road and only really a 10 minute distance gone, I was coming out from under an over pass, and noticed a semi trailer merging onto the highway. I was in the middle lane and only going about 65-70km, but thought I'd slow down since he was pretty close. Well, Murphy's Law took over, and as soon as I touched my brakes, my car started to slide. I could see the semi getting closer, or rather under the semi getting closer. I slide under his trailer at a slight angle (not dead on), and hit his fuel tank, luckily. Okay, that sounds rediculous, but if I hadn't hit his fuel tank, I would have slide completely under the trailer taking my entire roof off, and taking me out in the process. So, back to my adventure. The front of my car got hooked into the bottom of his trailer as he was still driving, my car continued to stay under the trailer until his back tires ran over the front of my car. When he finally came to a stop, my car flung free, and the incrediably funny thing to all this, is at some point my hand slide off the steering whell, and hit the dash. Well, the stereo in the car has not been working for months, I fixed it! My husband figured it's cause I ripped apart the alternater and beat on the dash . . . whatever.
I had minor injuryies to my above said hand. I walked out of there no problem. If ever there was a time to believe in angels, that was the day.
People have asked my if I thought I was going to die, I never thought about it. I thought about the people I have to go home to. I could see my kids and my husband in my head. And i have never been so grateful for everything I have.
Needless to say, the car is totalled.
