Fire station visit

Izzy really did have fun today. Of course it all had to be on her terms. We will be going back out for she would only talk to the female firefighter and at the end of the visit all she did was talk. She refused to look at the trucks. She would not get dressed in an outfit. Over all it went well she learned the difference between hot and cold for many things. Even though we have gone over them at our home it seemed a firefighter really helped to ingrain it in her. At the end of the visit when they re asked the question what should you do if your house is on fire she still gave the answer hide under the table. :(

Did you know

This will not be long but I figured I would pass this along. Did you know that if you are using an older child safety seat you should look on it for an expiration date. If it has expired you need to replace it because it truly is no longer safe to use.

YOung Kids and Fire Safety.

Did you know that :

• There were 3,320 civilians that lost their lives as the result of fire.
• There were 16,705 civilian injuries that occurred as the result of fire.
• There were 118 firefighters killed while on duty.
• Fire killed more Americans than all natural disasters combined.
• 84 percent of all civilian fire deaths occurred in residences.
• There were an estimated 1.5 million fires in 2008.
• Direct property loss due to fires was estimated at $15.5 billion. This figure includes the 2008 California Wildfires with an estimated loss of $1.4 billion.
• An estimated 32,500 intentionally set structure fires resulted in 315 civilian deaths.
• Intentionally set structure fires resulted in an estimated $866 million in property damage.

I personally find these numbers to be extremely high, yet as of August 27, 2009 these were the facts. The death toll from fires is unbelievably high. I personally feel that alot of those could have been prevented by proper fire safety and prevention. Such as did you know if all of us had at least one fire extinguisher and one smoke alarm for every 3 rooms we could save many lives. You should also check the batteries to your smoke alarms every month. It is also imperative to have a fire plan. You and you family should set aside time once a month to review this plan. The plan should include a trip to your local fire station (me and my family are doing that tomorrow) the good thing about visiting the station is it can show your young frightened children that firefighters are just like you and me and even with a ton of gear they are good guys. You also need to teach your children the stop, drop, and roll plan. The next thing is to teach them to crawl out of a burning house instead of walking since smoke rises. You need to go through and review your escape plan once a month.

If every one in this nation would do this imagine how many lives could be saved. I will let you all know how our visit goes tomorrow since she is so easily frightened. I am hoping we will all learn something new and that it will instill the notion that firefighters are friends.

Truly cheap and easy way to make money.

The reason the I say this is cheap is because you do have to invest time and a little money. Please do not do this unless you really can. I was invited to BIDZ.COM I decided to try it out. I spent maybe 45 min on there and spent a total of $7.95. I purchased a white gold ring that had 4 heart shaped rubies in it. I also got a yellow gold necklace that was 16 in long and the charm on it was oval and said love and had a red gold rose on it. Now please remember I only spent $7.95 on both items. I went to my local pawn shop yesterday and sold the ring for a total of $225.00. What a huge profit and investment. I am sending the necklace to my mom for mothers day.

Yes this was my big news for today. I know to some it might not be much but for me since my husband has been out of work since November it was great for us.

If you decide to do this good luck.

Here are a few tips for you that I used. I only bid on items that were worse than $10.00.
I only bid on items that had less that 1 min on them because I was more likely to win it.

Another apology

I guess this is the hard part of being a mom to a child with health problems. We have been so busy that I have not been on. I really do want to apologize and I do promise to be on time with my posts and more productive with my blog. Please bear with me as I continue to learn the ins and outs. I have something very exciting to share tomorrow. I look forward to hearing from you then.
