There is a knock at the door. It is the emergency services. The neighbor hood is being evacuated. You have 10 minutes to grab what you need and get out. What do you grab?
I was recently watching a reality TV show and this was the question given to the woman on the show and it got me thinking. What would I take?
Well that’s easy right? So I thought but in fact I spent a lot of time thinking about it and really couldn’t settle on an answer. Then I realized. There isn’t much I would bother with. So here is my list as I see it now.
1. Clothes for the family. (Oh and some diapers.) Really just the diaper bag and some clothes added for Rob and I.
2. A few toys and books for the kids. To keep them entertained because who knows how long before we could get something for them.
3. My purse. All necessary I.D like health cards are in there.
4. My laptop and camera. (Mommy’s toys.)
5. The dog. Okay so she isn’t stuff but I also wouldn’t leave her.
So that’s my list. The only other thing I would add if there was time would be food. No jewelry. Not photo albums or anything like that and if there wasn’t time to save all that I could cut the list down to #3 and #5.
