Car Accident

We were in a car accident on the way home from work and day-care today. No one was hurt, but DS did cry from the surprise and small jolt. We were stopped at an intersection and 2 other cars collided and one slid into us. (It was raining.) I put the car in park, turned off the engine, and got in the back seat to check on DS. He was crying but okay otherwise. I got him out of the seat and went about the business of dealing with the other drivers, calling DH, then talking with the police and filling out the paperwork. One of the other drivers was pretty shaky, but I was (and still am) quite calm. It's kind of like the day DS was born and in NICU... I'm doing what needs to be done, but the emotions will probably hit later.
