Okay, I will be honest. There is a tiny part of me that wants to quarintine my family until the almighty WHO, CDC or other trustworthy ackronym tells me it is safe. I tried it. I lasted 1 day. Yes one day. The next day was business as usual as I couldnt resist when a friend said lets have lunch. I mean what was I going to say .. okay let me get my HAZ MAT suit on and then I will go. I went weilding my hand sanitizer. I tried to hone my listening skills trying to catch cough or sniffle so that I jump away and put the recommended 6 feet between myself and the virus that has everyone oinking wolf.
So here is my confession at my sons baseball game I appointed myself the germ police and would inappropriately jump into the dugout and hose the boys down with germ sanitizer. Some parents said Oh yeah great idea others I think were chuckling. I think the coaches were perhaps a little irritated when the players were rubbing in the apple blossom hand goop trying to kill any pig germs that might be on their hands instead of squeezing their little hans into gloves and hustling out to the field.
So I pose this.....what have you done in the midst of pig flu hysteria? Yes I know PIG FLU is not PC (politically correct) term for the flu, after all it is not the poor pigs fault) but that is the benefit of this being my blog I can say what I want.
So I want to know .... is all this pig flu overreaction? appropriate or maybe a ploy to help us forget about the sick economy(which in my opinion is not on life support as they say but that is another whole post).
Share in my random musings, opinions and other rants. I am a just graduated mother of 2 in Fort Worth,TX. I love all things history and hope to teach one day soon. I am looking forward to hearing from others about anything and everything.
