Earthquake

Yesterday, I was in my first earthquake.  It was scary.  I was in my bedroom, Joce was in the living room, Perry was at school, and Eric was in North Carolina.  At first, I wasn't sure what had happened.  I just knew that I wanted to gather all of my family to me and not let go.  Eric texted me a couple minutes later, and said there had been an earthquake, and were we okay.  I wasn't sure until that minute if that is what had happened.  Joce had said, "Mommy, what happened?  House go shaky shaky!"  I looked online, and found that it was centered near my sister's house.  I called her immediately, but the cell towers were down.  That scared the hell out of me.  I did get ahold of her at the pizza shop, and was very relieved that they were okay, with minimal damage to the shop.  I then called Perry's school, and they hadn't felt anything and the kids were fine.  I called my mom and my brothers, and none of them had known anything had happened.  This has been a very emotional week for me, and that was Tuesday night!  Luckily, Eric will be home this afternoon, so hopefully things will get back to normal. 

I did eat 3 peanut butter cookies yesterday, but after the stress of the quake, and just the day in general, I think that was pretty good.  I am a very emotional eater, and holding myself to just that is a big improvement.  I did Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones.  I was happy that I did it, but it took a lot for me to get dressed and put the DVD in.  I felt much better for having done it.  My weight is up to 197 again.  Stupid cookies!  I did start my period yesterday, not an excuse, but may be part of it.  Here is to another day!!!
