Are You Prepared?

Like I posted earlier, we lost power because of a storm. I just thought I'd show how we survived. I brought in our camp stove and put it right on top of my stove so I could cook some food for my little ones. It actually worked out just fine... and it was nice to see that we were prepared enough to survive for a few days without too much trouble.

 

Except for the growing pile of dishes in my sink. I was afraid to use cool water to wash our dishes, but eventually I warmed some water on the stove so I could wash the dishes.... we were running out of silverware and bowls.

Not really sure why I thought the kitchen was that bad, this is what it normally looks like because I tend to leave the dishes until later... and later always seems to be later.

I'll just be thankful.

Because of a storm that came through our area, we have been without electricity since Sunday night. Although it has been inconvenient, I am so very thankful that we still have a home. Many people had their homes destroyed by tornados. We did not. We have a generator that is running our heat, so we are warm. The generator is running the fridge and freezer, so we didn't lose any food and can still eat. We have a camp stove and tanks so we can still cook. It is challenging but we are safe and well. I am going to be thankful, even without electricity.
