Today's Quake

I figured there would be a million quake blogs so I didn't do one but since nobody has done a blog on it, I guess I will. Two quake stories:

1. Mom was sick today so Becca watched Sydney. I left the office at 11:40 to have lunch with David G. On my way there I called Mom's phone to find out how she was feeling. I didn't feel most of the earthquake since I was driving. The conversation when James answered:

James: Yeah?
Kim: Hey, what's up?
James: We are having an Earthquake. Isn't that enough?
Kim: We are? (as I come to a stop)
James: Yeah, duh!
Kim: Oh yeah (as I see the lights, trees and cars shake and 100's of people on the street instead of in the office)

2. Switch to Becca's house. Becca is changing Sydney's diaper when the earthquake starts. She picks up Sydney and goes and gets Elizabeth. One kid in each arm while Joshua is scared and she is trying to console him. 5 minutes later she realizes that she didn't put Sydney's diaper on...unfortunately, Sydney reminded her with a shower. 20 minutes later, Joshua (who is getting potty trained) has to go to the bathroom. She sits him down on the toilet and he changes his mind. As soon as he stands up, oops...and Becca gets another shower.

LOL, I was loving Becca's status on Facebook yesterday. That's how I figured you guys were safe ;) If she was joking about Sydney showers, all must be good!

It sounds like Becca had the hardest job yesterday. She was actually lucky she only got showers!LOL

You know you have been in CA too long when there is an earthquake, and you say you didn't realize it!

Jenn Ann said...

Becca by far had the worst time yesterday. I need to make Becca my friend on Facebook!

Andrea said...

Glad to know everybody is safe and sound. And luckily nobody puts me in charge of children, because sadly I would probably have remembered the diaper, but not the baby!! Bad, ABBA

Paula said...

Glad all are okay. Don't they say pee is sterile? Gross but sterile?
