Can I have another "Earthshake," Mommy?

As most of you probably heard California had an Earthquake last week. The epicenter was within just a few miles of us. It took me probably a good 15 seconds to realize why my house was convulsing, yeah I'm an idiot. Taylor and I were coloring at the kitchen table and I slipped her under the table with her paper and crayons and a very serious "stay under here" before running down the hall to the baby's room. Luckily, Adilyn, slept through the entire thing and the aftershock. It wasn't serious, only a 5.4, and I explained to Taylor what it was while I was trying to calm my nerves by replacing the hangings that fell off my walls. When she asked "can we have another Earthshake, mommy?" I just laughed, typical Taylor, my nieghbor's boys were crying because they were so scared and Taylor was begging for another one. She has asked that atleast once a day since the quake. Personally, I don't mind never experiencing one ever again!
