Mommy, I didn’t do it!

I was resting on the couch this afternoon when I felt a big jolt. The house then started swaying and I knew it was an earthquake. I jumped up and yelled at Aidan asking him if he was okay. His reply was, “Mommy, I didnt’ do it!” I told him I knew that he hadn’t done it and that it was an earthquake. All the while I’m talking with Aidan, I’m running up the stairs to check on the twins. They were asleep in their room taking a nap. The earthquake woke them both up, but they were able to go back to sleep. Aidan and I then went downstairs and looked up the earthquake online. It turned out to be a 5.3 (later downgraded to a 4.9) centered in Yucaipa.

  1. Cindy, earthquakes are the only reason I would never want to live in CA. I’m glad that ya’ll are okay. MOstly, I’m glad that the twins went right back to sleep!

  2. I KNOW THE THRILL OF AN EARTHQUAKE. I PREFER TO SKIP THAT KIND OF EXCITEMENT. I HAVE TWIN GRANDCHILDREN…THEY HAVE THE SAME AFFECT AS AN EARTHQUAKE. GLAD ALL IS WELL WITH YOU AND YOURS.

  3. First time stopping by and noticed that you are a really busy Mom! I will stop by again. Thank GOD that the earthquake was not so bad as to damage your house. I would not want to be in one. I live in Michigan where we only had one small one in over 50 years that I know of.
