Emergency! We Have No Batteries!

Being a new Dad, I am thinking more and more about the safety of my family. Before I was married, of course it was only me. I was worried about only me, and that was not too much. Life is radically different now. And I love it!

Have you ever had an occasion where you needed your cell phone desperately, but your cordless phone battery went dead? Do they call it a cordless phone anymore? Well, anyway, I have faced the situation recently. I was off somewhere for a couple days, I had forgotten my charger and I did not have a spare battery for my phone. I had to make a call and then shut it off. I do not like having my phone off. There is no way to tell who is calling. Drives me nuts.

Yes, I am a techno-junkie. I am a product of the Internet and instant contact society. I actually love being in constant contact for some reason. I may have to get therapy for that.

What about other spare batteries for your camera, important medical equipment, flashlights or all the other variety of items that need batteries. Living near the Chesapeake Bay of Virginia, we get storms. Sometimes hurricanes. I want to be prepared when the time comes.

Susan Has Our Bags Packed

We are one month and one day away from the official day of birth…March 13. We think Susannah will come early, so we want to be prepared. Water breaks, grab the suitcases and jump in the car. We want to be prepared!

Last month, I was horsing around during lunch. I saw a big clearance banner in front of Bed, Bath and Beyond and decided to check it out. One of the things I bought was one of their clearance Emergency Kits. I figured that it was a necessity once our little one starts crawling around the house. We want to be prepared!
