The First Forty Eight Hours
Without Prejudice
They say we have about 48 hours after a disaster before people start robbing and looting for water and food. So all of us need a water rank, water filter, and at least a cellar full of emergency food supplies. I sound like a survivalist, but not, I am just a practical woman. Someone has to take care of all those kids and it takes 3 adults full time, all day, every day to do the job well.
I'm trying to imagine what would happen to this household if we went 48 hours without, electricity, water, food and medical supplies, we have one female about to give birth, to her eighth child, her partner, two toddlers aged, 5 and 3, a 9 year old, then a 15 year old, 17 year old, 18 year old, ( we mainly don't rely on them too much as they are in teenage hormone land and make no sense, except to themselves.)
They basically, grunt, forage for food, talk to each other, retire to their rooms and don' t want to be disturbed, ever. Actually they would be a great help. In their rooms they have already battled the entire world, bought weapons and have friends. They would love a real life disaster as they have been preparing for it for years.
We also have a pair of largeish dogs. One a Siberian Husky, who is timid, gorgeous, sloth like and loves food and only fresh water running out of the tap. A pedigree bitch. She has a new Sister, the demented German Sheperd puppy. She loves to chew, eat poop if she had to and has been known to drink weed killer and eat cat food, kitty litter snags or anything she can find, basically, she will survive any disaster.
The cat is a grumpy, large Tom, who owns the household and will survive a near holocaust. He'll be fine. Everyone will ensure that he gets looked after first.
My daughter and I are strong Alpha females who will pretty much do everything that has to be done. We both became strong after past rotten relationships with Men and are the perfect parents to seven boys as we have seen it all before and don't let them get away with a thing. They say I am the second most scary person in the world, second only to their Mother, who I gave birth to, just saying.
