Instead of setting your alarm clocks, how about getting shook awake by an earthquake? Think that would wake you up?? Only problem is...you can't hit the Snooze button.
About 5:30 this morning, Wes and I (including baby) were abruptly startled out of our slumber by the sounds of our wall about to cave in! Ok...so maybe when you wake up, you don't have all your senses, but we felt the tremor from the earthquake in Illinois. Wes thought the tree had fallen on our house, then he thought we were having a tornado, then realized we were shaking because of another natural disaster. At least, he claims that's what all the shaking was...I'm pretty sure part of it was us clinging, in fright, to each other wondering what was going on! :) I guess it was a pretty big one.
Wes has been keeping tabs on it today, because it started about 6 miles from one of his close friends back home. Guess it rattled all their canning in the basement causing a fine mess. Yuck!
It's a beautiful day here and I'm off to do some cleaning! This weekend promises to be very busy!!!

It woke me up too! And did you feel the big tremor at 11:16 a.m.? I was at my desk & my computer started shaking. Both times there was a loud noise. I didn't know earthquakes had noise, did you?

I guess it shook things up a bit here too. Of course i slept through it! Funny story - It woke my grandma in Illinois up. The bed was shaking and the springs (its an old bed) were popping. She thought there was a rat under her bed. She even got on the floor looking for it and finally slept on the couch!! I think she feels stupid now that she knows what it was!
Was soundly sleeping on the 11th floor of the Crowne Plaza at that time today and didn't feel a thing! If I did, I would've just blamed it either Parker, Peyton or Jonathan for kicking in the bed! (Yes, we all had to share one bed...that's a whole different story!)
Glad everyone was okay!!!
