5.9 Earthquake 65 Miles From San Diego

Tonight is one of the nights that Darrin goes to the gym so I am in charge bath and bed time. Our routine started off later than normal because I decided to take Reagan to the park and to Starbucks while he was gone. (She had a smoothie, not a coffee. I would not do that to her, nor myself.) Once we got home she was still wanting to play so I let her for a little while. Around 9:15 I decided it was bath time. Normally when I am on bath duty I just take a bath with her, it's just easier that way. I don't have to force her to get in, I don't have to get all my clothes wet and, well I get a bath out of it too.

Once I had been in there for a little while, I got out and put my clothes on while she stayed in. Since it was bed time, I put on what I sleep in, a tank top and underwear. (this is important to know for the story, I promise) About 2 minutes later I felt a rumble. It took me a second to realize it wasn't the upstairs neighbors, but then I felt it again. I grabbed Reagan out of the bath, threw a towel on her and thought...."I am not wearing any pants.""Do I just run outside?" "How serious in this?" "Will I have time?"

I grabbed the first pair of pj pants I could find and ran out, the front door this time. There were other people outside all talking about the quake. I tried calling Darrin and just like last time, I couldn't get through. Soon after he called me and I lost it, I was just so frazzled. He was on his way home so we just sat outside waiting on him.

Luckily that was it. So for now I am packing an emergency bag, that way I can just grab on the way out the door. I have diapers, wipes, a sippy cup, water bottles, 2 boxes of apple juice, energy bars, crackers, extra pair of clothes for Reagan and that's all for now, but I am sure I will be adding to it.

And as long as I am in San Diego, I think I will remain out of the baths and always dressed!
