Our food storage/emergency preparedness item this month is water. We got these cool jugs in a box from the Mill Woods Stake, they had some left over from one of their projects. The water has to be changed in them every six months. The beauty of the box is that they stack up to three high so you don't have to use as much floor space. It took me a good half hour to fill these 8 eight boxes, I've still got four left but I've given myself permission to do that next week. It feels good to be making progress in this area. I feel like as the individual at home full time (really the CAO or Chief Administrative Officer of our home), my "job" encompasses so many things. Regular every day feeding and care for the troops, cleaning, scheduling maintenance like oil changes and furnace cleaning, disaster and emergency preparedness, procurement, nursing, and the list goes on and on. I do quite enjoy these little tasks/chores when I feel like I can tackle them one piece at a time, rather than stressing about having it all done right now. And since we aren't fabulously wealthy food storage has to be budgeted and purchased gradually so I can take on one piece, complete it and then move on.

I think that makes me assistant CAO, heheheheh
I love it I've never seen anything like it. Food storage is one of those things that takes alot of prep work, and great satifaction. It's one of those things that stay clean, unlike house cleaning food prep. I love food storage.
Those jugs-in-a-box are very cool. Hooray for preparedness!!
Do you have a job description for Assistant CAO? I'd like a copy of that... ;)
