Whew... that's over!

O.K. so, I was quite nervous to teach today. It has been several YEARS since I last taught Relief Society class... There was so much information on Preparedness, that I just didn't have time to talk about, that I wanted to share. I didn't have time to get more comments from others in the class about what they do 'easy steps' for others to follow. I hope that I was able to say something that helped at least one other sister. I need to move on to my next Food Storage item now that I got salt this past month. That food storage on $5.00 a week plan might take me a bit longer, I sort of feel like I need more than just one week to think about the actual item i need to get, and then I might actually remember to pick up that extra thing to add to my food storage. I am excited to start just doing something! I really feel like I need to work on BABY STEPS, like I said in my lesson today. I just need someone to hold my hand and lead me in the right direction. The idea of doing the whole years supply has always felt daunting to me... where do I start?!? I'll never be able to do all of that. But the Three Month Pantry seems way more DOable to me... Maybe everything I said today has been said countless other times in my life, but it just has never hit me before like it has hit me this past week (month) as I prepared for this lesson.

Well, since I was up till 3 a.m. the past two nights trying to get all my thoughts together for the lesson, I suppose I need to get some sleep tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to get some rest this week, so that whenever M goes into labor I'll have plenty of reserve energy to be able to help her in whatever ways will help her the most.

You really did great, Wendy. I mean that. I came home and looked at that Food Storage on $5 a week program and made my own modifications. Remind me this week at our meeting and I'll show you what I did to make it even easier for myself.

I heard you did a great job! Really inspired a few people since I heard about it when I ran into a few people today while I was out and about! Can't wait to get back into RS though I will miss spending my Sundays with Liam and the gang!

I'm just wondering...how long do you think it will take you to actually use all that salt?

Well, perhaps somday I'll make my kids happy and make salt clay dough. :-) or... if we ever get an ice storm or something and I need to de-ice my front walk... who knows! the crazy thing is, that is only enough salt for two eople for a year, so I would actually need a whole LOT More!!! ack!
