Once upon a time a little over two years ago we had one of
those really bad days. We had driven into the city to run some errands. Then we
were driving down to Norman to go to Hobby Lobby and Sam’s club. We had just
gotten a kindle for the kids and it was the first time we let our daughter use
it on the road. After a while she completely vomited all over the kindle all
over the car, on her dads arm. It was everywhere. I had just found out that I was
pregnant and I was already a bit car sick. So as I was trying hard to hold my
roiling stomach I realized. I had had eggs for breakfast. Unfortunately my
husband is allergic to eggs and I doubted that would be a good combination. Of
course mid-morning on a week day the unthinkable happens we hit a dead stop
traffic jam. Heaven have mercy.
We all survived and we even ran our errands. I had enough
stuff in my diaper bag to cloth my daughter in… something laughable. My husband
was able to take off the jacket that there was puke on and the kindle survive
without any issue. But I was deeply worried about what if I had puked? So after
we got home we made ourselves an emergency car bag. This isn’t a 72 hour kit
this is just a “what if” bag in the car. After all things do happen. This bag
has sat largely unused and unneeded in our trunk for over two years. So we
brought it out with the idea to refresh it.
So what was missing? One outfit. The wipes. The treats. As
an added bonus the pants still fit me!
A bag like this can hold anything. The main point of ours
was extra clothing for each person, Water. Diapers, and wipes. This doesn’t
replace our diaper bag or my purse. Those size two diapers are for my girl who
is potty trained. Oh yeah we are not great at refreshing this. But it was still
there just in case.
