Earthquake!

Conversation at 2pm this afternoon between MAC and I:

MAC-- Uh, Mom, was that an earthquake?  *sounding a little freaked out*
Mom-- Yes, did the house shake a lot?
MAC-- Somethings fell off of shelves...
Mom-- Are you scared? 'Cause I am a little..
MAC-- NO!  Are we going to have aftershocks?  **REALLY excited**
Mom--  I don't know...

Conversation at 2:25pm this afternoon between Grammy and I:

Grammy-- We are going over to see if MAC wants to come back and stay at the condo with us..
Me--  Thank you so much, she sounded a little freaked when I spoke with her.
Grammy--  Ok, we are at the house, I hope she'll open the door...
Me--  I think she will if she hears your voice...
Grammy--  *Knocking on door*  MAC are you there?  Hello?
Grammy-- Grandpa and I thought maybe you'd want to come and stay with us for a little...You could come with us to the airport at 3:30..
MAC-- Why would I want to go to the airport?!
Grammy-- You could come stay with us and then Aunt R will take us all to the airport so we can catch our plane.
MAC-- Nope.  I'm fine thanks.
Grammy-- Do you want to talk to your Mom?
MAC-- No, I've already talked with her.
Me--Tell her I've talked to Daddy and he's ok
Grammy-- Mom's talked with Dad and he's fine.
MAC-- *bored* ok, bye

Who would have ever thought we would get an earthquake here?  She seemed to have dealt with it better than I have. 

Tomorrow is the first day of school for MAC.  Every time I have brought it up over the last week she has said, "I don't want to talk about it!"  We got her back pack together today and she has a clean uniform ready to get into at 6:30 tomorrow morning. 

You do have to wonder about this week:  an earthquake today, school starts tomorrow, and we are supposed to get hit with a hurricane on Sunday...Wish us luck!
