REALLY?

What's up with all this Swine Flu? As I watch the news in here Texas and they close districts and schools I sit in amazement. Hmmm I seem to remember this conference several years ago when I was in nursing school. It was on Pandemics and about how it was something you saw around 50 year mark.And we were due. Now this was what 4 or 5 years ago.

Canceling after school activities etc. Changing UIL competitions. So I am torn. As a nurse I totally see the danger from the virus with it muliple strains involved into one. I know how fast it can spread but I am also not trying to panic. But living in Texas and so close to the border. I know we are more at risk. Alot of kids from this area go back and forth to Mexico to visit relatives.

I just don't get the idea of not closing the border. Yeah the Head of Department of Homeland security says there no facts to warrant closure really? Yes we have the virus here but if we can control more being brought over here wouldn't you want that. But she is way off in Washington DC not here so I guess that doesn't occur to her.

Tonight I took the kids to get the 31cent ice cream at Baskin Robbins..You can't beat the price 7 ice cream with double scoops for less than $4. Yes! I have been giving my children the wash your hands etc the last couple of days to help prevent anyone from getting sick in our house. Sebastian states" Mom, you act different." I ask why thinking he was talking about the conversation I was relating from earlier to Malcolm. He explains " no since this stupid swine flu thing!"
I bought them each their own hand sanitizer and have been telling them to use it before lunch etc. Sebastian's teacher has been doing the same thing telling them to use it everytime they sneeze or walk out of their classroom.

On our way to church tonight I got in the car and was hmmm someone is funky... Thinkin it was one of the older boys since they had been riding bikes etc. Then I am talking to Dianna at church and Sebastian walked up and almost knocked us over. I was boy you are FUNKY! How can a 8 year old be so funky that showers on a regular basis?
I remember my older boys going through this but I thought they were a little older. Man with all these boys I need to buy stock in deoderant.
Ok this is just a bunch of rambling I need to go do paperwork. I have to have it done by Friday. Sheesh..
