3 hours!!!!!

I didn't have a choice. I unwillingly and knowingly got stuck in this today.

I hadn't seen my husband all day, in one hour it will be his birthday, and we were going to go have dinner at his fave restaurant in Centerville. He had to go to work today and was on his way home 15 minutes after the accident happened. He sat at a complete stand still for nearly 2 hours before they finally started turning cars around. So he told me just to meet him at his moms at 4. So figuring that the accident would be cleared or at least mostly cleared by then, I wouldn't have such a hard time getting through. Plus I had a cousin get married today and we wanted to be to her reception by 6. So I left here at 3. I got to the freeway at 5, and to West Valley by 5:30, and then drove another half hour to Centerville, and then had to drive home (too much car time). Can you believe that??? Man. I have a headache, my legs are sore, my patients is at an all time low and I used a quarter tank of gas to go 40 miles. I can usually use a quarter tank to go 130 miles. We saw cars trying to take a mountain road that didn't exist, so they would go as far as they could and would have to turn around and wait some more. We saw people changing drivers and just getting out to get a drink out of the cooler in the back. We thought about turning around and going through Lehi, but then heard on the radio that, that road was also a 2 to 3 hour wait because people were trying to get through there. What a mess. All I can say is thank heaven that all things must come to an end.
