Fire drills, tornado drills, both are state requirements, I think. I lose track of how many we have to do each year. I just go when they ring the bell or set off the alarm.
The principal tells us in advance when it will be.
It does make me think of what I need to plan for in my own home.
I will admit that we are more likely to have a small emergency, like burns or cut fingers or tick bites, etc.
We should be prepared for anything.
A little girl found a tick on a desk in a classroom yesterday morning. I think I need to make some more tick and insect repellent really soon.
So much for planning ahead.

I remember fire drills. I think we only had one a year when I went to school, and it was in the warmer weather. We looked on them as a nice break from class.

I truly don’t think any repellant works. My husband sprays permethrin I think it’s called on his boots. It’s supposed to be the strongest repellent for them you can use and he gets covered in them everything he goes in the woods. The dogs have stuff that is supposed to repel them. It doesn’t. It kills then once they bit them and drink their blood but that’s doesn’t really do much good as when bitten they can get Lyme. I saw one crawling on the dogs hill yesterday and pulled it off. It was an inch from the babies foot. I was so thankful to see it in case it had decided to crawl on her next.

Sometimes it's really difficult to become proactive and you just find yourself reacting after events.
