starter problem

My 2000 base (I hate that reference) w/ 42k miles suddenly has starter problems. Car/starter has always started/worked fine. Today, after car sat for about a week, I tried to start it but my hand slipped off the key so it was a very brief effort, but it was turning over. When I turned the key again, and each time since, the starter spins but does not engage the engine. All I get is the sound of the starter motor humming away. Ideas?

Do these things have solenoids like my Dodge truck? I've never ground the fly wheel or any such problem. TIA
