Getting stuck

I didn't want to drive! I  went to rescue Mike from work @ 5:30 pm. It could have been worse, he usually gets off @ 9:30.
As we (the kids & I) were getting onto freeway, 6 cars infront of us piled up. 2 box trucks, followed by a sedan of sorts, then a van. A green suv slid sideways and crunched into the van. The truck in front of me sideswiped the suv....he kept going. Somehow I was able to stop our car. We were sliding towards the gaurdrail and the van, but came to a slow stop. We were on a slight downword hill, so backing up was not an option. Also 4 cars came to a stop behind me. We were stuck.
Thank God, Mike was able to walk to us. By the time he got there (about an hour) 3 of the cars behind us left. He was able to back our car up and get us onto the main road (where I had seen the sanding trucks go by) and we made it home!
What an adventure!
