A scary start this morning...

So, this morning Joe and I both wake up to the bed and the pictures on the wall shaking...it takes quite a bit to wake us up out of a dead sleep by the way! I immediately said I thought it was an earthquake and Joe jumped out of bed and got Sam. We also thought it could have been a possible gas pipe explosion. This afternoon I was putting Sam down for his nap and I felt the house shaking again! By the time I got to Joe it was over...the news later reported that we have had two or three aftershocks but they were only about a 2.2 on the Richter scale. The one I felt was about a 4.5. Crazy start to the day!!!! Does anyone remember the guy in the late 80's who predicted a major earthquake around here? I remember as a kid being really scared when the day came that he predicted. I even took down all my pictures and belongings off shelves because I thought it was going to happen...my poor parents!

The quake awakened me here in Chicago, but Dave slept through it. Sad to say, it doesn't take too much to wake me up these days.
