a little story, i have never shared here.
back in 1999 a lot of people were prepping for Y2k. we were totally on that bandwagon. and we were getting our food storage supplies , and even a few month supply of diapers and formula for our babies (Peyton -age 1 and newborn Liberty), toiletries, and even clothes. Y2k rolls around and nothing happened that day or week or even month. but early in 2000 Lance lost his job, and because we were prepared , we had food, we had soap, and shampoo, and diapers, and wipes, and Formula, and anything we needed. and for those few months, we didn't live high on the hog by any means, but we survived because we were prepared. what money we had could pay our bills, and we had sufficient for our needs. imagine how much less stress we had because we were prepared. while preparing for a hypothetical emergency, we were prepared for a real life emergency- the loss of a job and our financial security.

another story. about a blog friend. a few months ago in Northern California, there were storms with huge winds. the power was out for over 24 hours. they had to huddle by the fireplace for light and warmth. his neighbors had to come stay at their house when their power didn't come back on after 24 hours. they had to go eat downtown, since they weren't prepared to cook at home. They weren't prepared. you could read the stress in his posts for those couple of days. all i could comment at the time was Are you prepared? do you have supplies of water? Do you have 72 kits? does this make you think about getting ready for next time?

~~

and what about the people affected by hurricane Katrina? if they were prepared with 72 hour kits they could have evacuated faster. and safer. right? if they had supplies of water? would they have been better off? those that were prepared didn't suffer like the ones that weren't.

~~

what about minor stuff. you are going to the park for a party, the toddler isn't strapped into the stroller. you hit a bump on the sidewalk and he falls out and splits his chin open. if you have butterfly bandages, you can avoid going in for stitches. but since you aren't prepared, you have to leave, and get it taken care of. STRESSFUL! first aid kits in the diaper bag, and car help relieve a huge amount of stress. people giggle when i ALWAYS have a band aid. but, it's nice to be prepared.
