The whole house is quiet and I am sleeping alone in my bed, for once. There always seems to be one of those halflings trying to sneak in lately. When I am woken up by the house shaking. My first thought? That is a mighty strong wind. But then it kept going. By the time it stop, no more than two seconds. I had already realized that there were no wind sounds to go along with enough wind to get the house shaking like that. And for that long? What would make a house shake in TN? I know what makes houses shake in California, earthquakes. An earthquake here? I guess it's possible.
So what did I do? Go check on the kids? If it woke them up they might be scared, earthquakes can be scary. No, I did what every self-respecting trained born and raised Southern California girl would do.
I went back to sleep.
And figured I could research in the morning. I found it was an earthquake, The children felt nothing, so I will tell them nothing. One less thing they need on their plate.
After I saw a blurp on the local news I went here.

I live in Kentucky and was shaken awake this morning. I got up and ran to the hallway. My husband was downstairs getting ready from work and I thought about running downstairs to see if he felt it too, but then I figured he'd think I was talking in my sleep again so I just went back to sleep. It was kinda freaky though. My first thought was NO EARTHQUAKE HOME OWNERS COVERAGE!!!
I love that you went back to bed. If nothing is falling off the shelves, it is not that bad eh? I don't miss them though.
You make me laugh
