I was in bed and awoke to what I thought was a dream---the bed shaking. I immediately thought that Mike was having a heart attack or a seizure and I sat up in bed w/ a start and touched him. He was still. I thought: OH, my LORD, he's DEAD! (From the heart attack or seizure) But sure enough, he was alive and patted my head, rolled over, and went back to sleep. So, I presumed I HAD been dreaming and went back to bed. I talked about it w/ Mike in the AM and we laughed about it. We didn't catch the news b/c the kids watched some Elmo, didn't listen to the radio in the car, didn't have a CLUE until around 11:30am when Mike called me from work, saying that his colleagues were all swapping stories about a quake that had occurred in the night. Well, a) no, it's not good that an earthquake occured b) I'm not crazy or having odd dreams c) my husband had neither a heart attack or a seizure. So there you have it. Finis.

Then I realized he was sound asleep, so I promptly fell asleep! Thankfully, after not sleeping much for 2 weeks, my body says, "SLEEP!!" <BR/><BR/>Sue Stark :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099108.post-72876630753338007532008-04-18T12:49:00.000-05:002008-04-18T12:49:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday, Dave.

Hope all of you enjoy a special day and evening together.

I've been though one when I lived in Calif 15 years ago and this one wasn't as strong, but definitely "noticable". The kids all woke up and Katherine said "I'm shaking". Luckily, they all went back to sleep, but I was up! Definitely nerve-wracking, but glad there was no damage or injuries. <BR/><BR/>Julie BauerJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481915394310940917noreply@blogger.com
