Swine Flu Frenzy


I got the picture this morning from a friend on how to avoid the Swine Flu......thought it was funny!
So, the Swine Flu Epedimic would have to break out when Mark and I are in the middle of planning our summer vacation for just us two in Mexico. We have not had a vacation without kids for at least five years. Adoption took over our lives and that was that. After our long winter/spring apart it will do us good so we are going forward with plans. I am sure this will pass and hopefully we will get a really good deal in the process...LOL!!
Kailee missed school Monday as she has been battling a bad cold/allergies turned sinus infection?/something for close to a month. I really avoid antibiotics at all costs but she was no longer able to breath so we went to the dr. This of course, spread around her new school and now kids are not wanting to touch her because she has the swine flu. She was told by a friend that they heard she got it because her mom had just been to Mexico...hmmm, other mom I guess. One other kid said she had it because she is from TX. Oh boy....how rumors spread. Thankfully, she takes it in stride......I told her to start oinking like a pig at lunch today......
I have read on a few blogs how travel is being delayed for those getting ready to go to China. I HATE that for those families and kids. Praying all the percautions that are being taken will knock this virus out ASAP!!!!

I was "snorting" like a pig when I read about how some of Kailee's classmates determined that she must have swine flu. Does that mean I have it too?

Yeah … we had a 10-year anniversary trip planned to Mexico in 2005 (we had gone there for our honeymoon in 1995). Do you remember what happened in Cancun in Oct. 05??? Yeah … Hurricane Wilma. Needless to say, we finally had to cancel the day before we were to leave and the day before it hit. Funny thing is … we never made it back … we headed to Jamaica the following year instead!!! I know what you mean about just us time. We DESPERATELY need it, but S is just not there yet. Hope your trip goes well!

That picture cracked me up! I'm sure you will be able to get great rates in Mexico. My husband & I went to Negril, Jamaica last year for our 10th--LOVED IT! Wish we could go back but since we have this big trip to China!! Hope your daughter feels better! And enjoy planning your trip.
