I remember telling Ron when we were first married that I didn't want to live anywhere near a fault line, earthquakes, volcanoes...just not something that sounds exciting/appealing to me.  So, we end up in Oklahoma where I have to deal with the threat of tornado's-wonderful!  Well, last night once again reminded me how we can take things for granted...or just overlook the many things that are consistent in our busy/crazy life.  I thought we were having a bad night with kids.  It was just one of those nights where James just couldn't find sleep and to top it off neither could Ron...they just share the same restless leg gene which made me even more angrier, at Ron of course.  The night was dragging along, my patience was in the hole and my anger rising-finally I caved to a little benedryl for James and layed back down.  Typical, now the  kids are finally sleeping but I am so worked up sleep is hard to come by.  As I layed there thinking about parenting/my attitude....I start to hear a truck roaring down the road, or so I thought. I could feel my heart begin to race as the sound got so close I thought it was coming right through my room.  Only then did it dawn on me that my whole bed was shaking and in that split second I realized, Earthquake.  By the time I jumped back out of bed the whole thing was over but I was shaking and my heart was racing.  I ran out to find Ron who was coming to find me to confirm that it was really an earthquake.  WOW, guess I shouldn't have thrown such a fit about my kid not sleeping....God has other matters on his hands, I pray he continues to keep the earth as consistent and dependable as it is.   The actual data 4.7magnitude.
