Panic

This post is just a warning for all of my friends and family.  If you are ever in an emergency situation...DO NOT CALL ME!  It is not that I would not want to help out, it is just that I am no good when it comes to keeping a level head in emergency situations. 
Case in point... a few weeks ago when we had the fire, I ran outside to fight the fire not even wearing shoes!  Not a smart move.  Then in climbing in and out of the big trucks in order to move them, I climbed right over the fire extinguishers that we are required by law to keep in the trucks and did not even think to use them.  I'm not sure I would even know how to use them if the time came and I remembered to try.  My hands were shaking so bad at that point I don't know that it would have done much good to try anyway.
My hat goes off to all of the firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency workers out there.  They do a job that I would never be able to do.  I never thought of my job as a mother of three active boys and wife of a crazy truck driver as calm and quiet, but compared to what some do with their days, my life is a piece of cake.  So I think I will be sticking with my day job and leave the adrenaline rushes to everyone else.
