Swine Flu


Is anyone else slightly worried about this? I get a little worried when I drop CJ off at school or Brian at the gym play room, and I see kids sniffling, coughing or sneezing. I know these are all signs of seasonal allergies. The same seasonal allergies Brian has, and I have to tell myself to calm down. I make the kids wash their hands about 5x more than usual. I'm packing hand sanitizer everywhere we go, in the off chance that I get freaked out and need to sanitize my kids. I'm thinking of looking for a small travel size can of Lysol to carry also. Do they make those? Should I just get a bigger purse and carry and full size can? These are thoughts I have when I see someone sneeze, cough, wipe or scratch their nose, my kids put something in their mouth, nose, ear, eye, or when I watch the news. Damn news. I just finally got over my peanut butter paranoia, now this!
P.S. I couldn't find an image for swine flu that I liked, so I used this cute pic of the little piggy and the flower. I thought it was adorable.

No you should take precautions, better safe then sorry. This is one of those moments where paranoia isn't that such a bad thing!

I am totally the opposite...I'm probably not worried about it enough. I don't think there is anything wrong with being careful, but no need to be paranoid.
Thanks for the potty tip...we'll try it.
