Most of you know, that I will not let our boys ride the school bus. Even though it drops off and picks up in front of our house. And neither does my neighbor 2 doors down from us. So we have devised a car pool. She picks up in the afternoons. Well, one afternoon last week she gets out giggling. Our youngest has entertained the car with talk about criminals.
Youngest: "Ms. M- do criminals live in the city"?
Ms. M : " Yes, some do"
Youngest:: " So democrats must be criminals cause they live in the city"
Ms.M : Laughter ( thank God her husband is a music minister and they are like minded)
So today is Wednesday, almost to the weekend. I gave the Baby Mama my notice that I can no longer keep the little tyke after October. To say I am thrilled is an understatement. I literally am counting down the days. She is the same person that hubby got in to a conversation with on food storage. We were treated to dinner one evening at their home, She told hubby she has enough food for 2 weeks, so she showed us her pantry. Yea its filled all right, but with all kinds of sauces, dressings, liquer, etc. She also told us that they have 3 full freezers in the garage.."Okay" hubby says, "but what will you do if power goes out and does not come back on for weeks, months or ever' ? It was stunned silence and after a month and a half since that dinner we still have not gotten an answer
She hasn't been to the back of my house and seen my shelves yet. When they pick up little tyke today I am strategically sitting out the 50 # rice bag and sugar by the door we picked up at Costco last night just so I can hear the big daddys reaction.He has a PHD and has the answer to everything. After that we will seal it all up in mylar bags.
We got in our Red Feather canned butter. Next on the order agenda is canned cheese.
Tonight I am cooking a marvelous dinner for the family, fresh ham steaks, home made mac and cheese and maybe a peach cobbler. Yum! : )
They'll learn the hard way...I love those little boys.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they have AAA batteries in their freezer.
ReplyDeleteStephen- yes they are sitting ducks. I am going to blog about Big Daddy's reaction to my bags of rice and sugar.
ReplyDeleteDuke- knowing them their freezers probably do run on AAAs. The only problem is they don't have enough stocked piled to replace them when the old ones die.
So he has a degree, That makes him book smart, not street smart...BIG DIFFERENCE.
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say, "out of the moths of babes..."
Rob- Yes a degree he has PHD and he's quick to let us all know it. He's the kind of person you can like at first, then he starts to talk and it all goes south...
ReplyDeleteBut at least it's a start.
ReplyDeleteBut remember, they know you have more food and know where you are bugged in at.
Mud-actually they don't know about our inventory or where its kept, we do not believe in keeping all of our eggs in one basket. And my residence now is not my BOL. there is only a select few that know where that is. All the way down to my parents and siblings do not know. My hubby was in the military for 20 years and has a PHD in OPSEC. Its very big in my immediate family and extended SHTF family.
ReplyDeleteAh so a military man with a PHD has both book and street smarts. It is always good to keep info on a need to know basis.
