Rice Panic

Okay, I had a little panic attack on Thursday morning. Larger Wholesale companies restricting large quantity rice purchases.
The first thought that ran through my mind is - Have I stored enough????
I know "if ye are prepared ye shall not fear"-D&C 38:30 but I still have to wonder if I have enough stored to feed my family of 5.

I called my husband, who is the only one that can calm me back down when I hit Defcon 1 or Red Alert. So after I freaked out--I went out a purchased a few more estentials for my food storage to make me feel better. It did help but from this point on I've decided to double what I purchase each shopping trip for food storage. I figure it may cost me a little extra now but the way prices have been going up in the end I'll save, right?

What's Shakin'

Well, I never dreamed in a million years that we would be in an earthquake. How funny is that? We were kinda already awake just waiting to see who would drive Chaia to seminary when I heard the bathroom window rattling-it usually does when the wind is blowing. But the wind wasn't blowing, so I laid there and then the bed started moving from side to side. Mitch and I looked at each other I was thinking tornado but that didn't seem right. I tried to get out of bed to go to the girls and that felt wierd with the house still moving. Chaia met me in the hallway saying what was that! Mitch and I both said Earthquake maybe? Mitch turned on the TV to see if he could find out what was going on. And sure enough they were speculating the same thing. It was and is the talk of the town. Even today at work people calling and asking about Earthquake coverage.
