"things that make you go hmmm.."

Speaking of earthquakes, Jojo, I felt a tremor for the 1st time in all of my 30something years. I didn't know what it was till latter this morning. DH had just left for work around 5:3-ish. I had rolled over to go back to sleep and it felt like my bed was swaying back and forth. At 1st I thought one of the kids had woken up and was leaning on the bed trying to decide if they were going to wake me up or not. I pop my head up and no ones there. Then the feeling got slightly stronger, I sit up thinking, "am I imagining this? there's no one here, what is going on!?" Then it stopped, I got up shaking my head thinking maybe I'm a bit sleep deprived, went to the bathroom and went back to sleep.

Around 8:30 while I was watching the news they started talking about the earthquake in Illinois. Didn't dawn on me, why would it, I live in Michigan. Then they said it happened at 5:36 this morning and I went "hmmm." But I wasn't convinced until they said tremors were reported to being felt all the way up to Grand Rapids. So far, most of the people I know slept through it. DH was driving and didn't notice it. But that was pretty interesting.

Here's a little snippet from one of our local news stations:

The USGS Web site says the quake was centered near West Salem, Illinois, or about 40 miles north of Evansville, Indiana. The quake was felt as far away as Milwaukee, 350 miles to the north. Skyscrapers shook in Chicago's Loop, 240 miles north of the epicenter, and in Indianapolis, 160 miles to the northeast. People in Cincinnati and St. Louis also felt the earth shake.

If you want to read the rest of it, go here. There's also a little video of what the weather man thought was the camera shaking in the breeze, which was actually the tremors.

Something interesting I just heard on the news. Apparently April 18th is a significant day in earthquake history. 1906, California.

other updates:

A few weeks ago I woke up and couldn't turn my head to the left at all w/o pain. The next day it was worse and I was in tears. My chiropractor was on vacation for 2 weeks. (i firmly believe that chiropractors should not be allowed to take vacations, ever). I prayed about what to do. One other time that this happened I went to the regular Doc and she gave me a muscle relaxer that I was supposed to take every so many hours, but made me loopy. I have 3 kids at home, I can't take that stuff during the day. After talking to Ronnie about it she suggested this massage therapist that works in the same office building as her. I called her and went in and let me just tell you that I now believe she works miracles. We're going to send each other clients also.

In the almost 3 weeks after that massage, I've only had 3 headaches. Which is why I say she's a miracle worker. I usually have 3 headaches a week. I'm going to start going to her once or twice a month. Between her and the chiropractor, I should be virtually headache free:) (here's hoping!)

and, no baby yet....
