Hog Wash

School has been cancelled for two days due to a suspected case of the swine flu.
What a bunch of nonsense. A few months back I went to pick up one of the kids for an otho. appointment and there about 10 kids trying to get into the office to go home because they felt sick. (the secretary told me other kids had already gone home.) This never made the news and the school was not shut down for cleaning parents were never notified that a dozen or more students had gone home sick all in one day. I hope they don't have to make these days up because they shouldn't be off to begin with.

I am all for taking precautions but I think the media has made this into something it is not. Just my own opinion of course. Now a lot of people have died from this in Mexico, but for some reason I don't think one person in the US has died from this. (except a little girl who was visiting here from Mexico)

We will be cleaning the garage today and picking up sticks in the yard. Since the kids are missing track and they have a meet on Wed. I want them to do some running. I have already informed them they will not be sitting on the couch all day watching TV or Playing video games. If they cooperate they can do that later. That should be motivation enough.
