so I'm really gung ho lately on the whole emergency prep and 3 month food storage -- I just really feel that this is something our family needs to be working on - I don't know why I just know that we need to do it and each time I try to get my family to help me or back me up on it - I just get ignored I don't know what to do - I can't be the only one who is concerned about it - there are 3 other people in this house that need to help me -- well 2 the third can't worry about it now but in the future she will lol -- but man I don't know how to get them to understand how important this is.
I found this great website www.foodstoragemadeeasy.net and they have some great ideas on how to do just this. Right now I'm working on getting a month of meals together that are shelf stable. My problem right now is how do I get the non shelf stable stuff to save for our meals -- meat, dairy stuff, eggs like that I dunno maybe that wouldn't matter in a 3 month period I don't know

new stuff
Well it's been a while since I've posted anything - just plain crazy life -
David completed 7th grade in June and is now in the 8th grade and playing on the football team and loving it --- except when he has to play in the rain like today -lol it's just pouring rain here. AHHHHH lovely Seattle weather. He got good grades last year at the end of the year (not as good as I would have liked - I was raised that anything lower than an A or a B was just not acceptable) I don't mind a "c" grade but a "D" to me is not acceptable and he had a couple of those - not happy about it but they had been "F"'s previous to that so I am happy and proud that he did work his butt off and got the grades up to at least passing. So far so good this year - but then now he's got sports that are making him keep good grades not just me bickering at him lol.
Megan is growing and learning so many things every day - she wants to copy everything we do so we have to be very careful with what we say and what we do because she will be seen doing it very soon afterwards. she's talking like crazy - she's saying a few short sentences - she's been doing that for about a month now. We had to go over to Spokane last month becuase Tim's Aunt passed away and she started doing it there. She refers to herself as MeiMei so we do to - we also found out that MeiMei means "little sister" in Chinese - one of Tim's cousins is adopting a baby from China and that's what they are going to call her. It's very cute and I love that she refers to herself that way. She loves to help us - when we are doing anything she wants to join in, she's not feeling to good today. Hopefully just a little runny nose and a cough but I just hope not too bad.
