Are you ready for a major emergency?... Everyone by now has heard about the crazy-chaos in the New York area after major-storm Sandy last month. As a West Coaster, up here in Washington State, I didn’t even know until recently that there are a lot of people on the East Coast who have to do major prep for even regular storms during the winter. Here, we don’t have generators, we don’t stockpile food or supplies {unless we’re big-time couponers}, and we don’t have to worry about power outages for more than a very rare hour or two. But now that I have friends on the East Coast, the whole idea of preparing a little more thoroughly for emergencies has stuck with me. And, as a busy mom – preparing for disaster is kind of my middle name, right?

I’ll try so hard to convince myself of it, telling myself that I’m just fine, it’s just allergies… Until I find myself asleep with my head on the laptop. I think that we all feel that way – we’re good at taking care of everyone else in the family when they get sick. But we don’t have time for it to happen to us. {And don’t you love how they all forget how helpful you were while they were feeling yucky, and leave you in bed to fend for yourself? Ah, motherhood…}
