I just told my sister about this on the phone today! We did not stock up on water, although I always feel we should, as we are on a well, but why would the power go out? We have 16 kids, only four still home, but one moving back in tonight, and one coming back soon. The older kids were more used to frugality, the younger ones, not so much. I had to remind one daughter to use the older potatoes first, and she said, "You're acting weird." Well, honey, yes, it's a weird time....<br />Della16 blessings'momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611246330849334850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-5756384891434114152020-03-18T15:45:00.384-04:002020-03-18T15:45:00.384-04:00Thanks for the reminder Mary.

I did want to add ...Cheryl these are great ideas. <br /><br />I did want to add one thing about soap. Sensitive skin users soap is not just soap. Soap can put us into the hospital. With hospitals going to be overrun soon a bad reaction to soap will not be treated as an emergency unless it has caused severe distress- breathing, third degree burns. This does happen. <br /><br />I hope it's ok I wrote about the soap. Not trying to hand slap. I would never do that. Just worried about health conditions that won't be able to get proper treatment during this time of crisis. <br /><br />That might be one thing to think of for families that need to stock up. Instead of buying toilet paper buy things that your family will need if they develop a severe allergy like special soaps, medicines, etc... That is what I did. I have to use a special soap.

If I need to clean something, I'll use bleach water and a rag. For noses, we will continue to use Scott's 1,000 sheets, or a snot rag torn from a soft piece of flannel.<br /><br />I am making menus about 3 days ahead. This is helping assure that all leftovers get used.
