And I KEEP extra diapers everywhere. In the car under the seat, in the trunk, in my purse, the diaper bag, etc. Whole canisters of formula, at least two outfits, snacks, water, etc. Just in case that one time happens when we are totally stuck somewhere, we will be ready! LOL. @TDJ – Oh yes. And I KEEP extra diapers everywhere.

My son's daycare (my mom) and my job are an hour from our home. His diaper bag is packed as if we could be stuck on the side of the road for 24 hours. *lol* We leave the house with 40 extra minutes, just in case. And, anytime we have weekend plans, I allow at least 2-3 hours for anything to happen - crankiness, sleepiness, gas, teething, anything! I can definitely feel you on this!!

While I'm not there YET on the advanced preparation, I can see that it's a slippery slop. ~ humps I had to Laugh Out Loud at that one.

Whenever we leave the house, I always take the entire container of formula. My friends laughed at me when I pulled out the huge canister of formula at church to make a bottle (lol), but it made me feel better that if something happened on the way home, my baby boy wouldn't starve. That was one of the perks of breastfeeding too. I hated the sore nipples, the days when I was engorged, the fact that my son never let up on his "must eat every 1.5 hours" routine. But I loved the fact that I always had food for him ready to go! @Courtney – Oh I feel you on the commute part. Whenever we leave the house, I always take the entire container of formula.

This is the main reason I was trying so hard to stay in this area to find a job and not have like a 30 min commute back and forth everyday or something. If my son is 30 mins away from me at day care and something happens, it's going to take me longer than 30 mins to get to him I'm sure. There's always some kind of construction going on somewhere, my luck an accident or just a stupid driver will have traffic backed up, a detour may be posted that totally throws me off or gets me lost, etc. On the road when we have our commute back to Detroit, what I'd I blow a tire or run out of gas. Do I have enough water and formula in the car/diaper bag in case we have a long wait? What if he poops in his clothes or needs more diapers? Stuff like that is always in the back of my mind. I hate the think negatively, but I like to prepare for the worst...or unexpected I guess u could say Yep!
