Well, no one really got hurt, but it could have been worse.

So, I am driving home with two kids in the back, and as I am turning into the road that leads into our house (which is a dirt road with some rocks) I lost control of the Expedition because it started sliding the wrong way. I was so freaked out, panicked by it, that either I hit the accelerator by accident or turned the wheel too much or did both that it caused me to drive into a big pile of dirt. I didn't hit a pole, and thank goodness for that because I could have been injured pretty badly. The Expedition itself suffered on the front-bottom, but other than that everything was mostly ok. I still had my seat belt on, as well as the kids in the back, Daniel and Katharyn. My dad ran up, though, and yelled something at me. For the life of me, I can't remember what he said because I was so shocked, but I did remember my reply was kind of calm for something like this.
