A little trepidation

So lately I have had this nagging feeling. Its actually been quite a while now that I have felt that I really needed to gather up all of our home movies and put them in our fire proof safe. Now that alone wasn't anything to really worry me too much. That's just good practice right? And for a while, I've thought that we probably don't have enough insurance to cover all of our possessions if we ever had a total loss, but how often does that really happen? Well, then a week or so ago, I got a very strong impression that I needed to get a detailed log of all of our possessions. (*Are you kidding? Do you know how long this would take?) But how long can you really ignore something like that? I wake up almost every morning with the feeling that I really need to get that done. Its definitely not how I really want to spend my time, but I guess it must be important.

The good news, is that I'm not really having fears over whether or not we are going to be safe... In the past, if I think about a fire or some big emergency I am always imagining how I would quickly and safely get the boys out of the house. But these feelings have not been accompanied by concerns over our safety.

So today I have been recording everything we have. I'm not finished yet. I have written down all our movies and toys. I have gone through almost every room and recorded the items in it. Its such a weird feeling. I probably won't write down everything... but how do you estimate the cost of your scrapbook supplies? That's so much money. And you can't possibly just replace what you've got.

I know this is a weird post. But I guess I'm just feeling weird.

Who does this??? And why should I??

But I guess I'm hoping I don't find out why.
