another rant

For the love of all things good and holy, people! Stay home if you're sick! What is the deal with all the sick people out in public? I took my son to Kool Kuts today and while playing with the train set, another little kid who obviously had pink eye, among other ailments, came up and sneezed right on my li'l Freddy's hands! The boy's dad just sort of looked up from the Gamecube and said, "Cover your mouth". L'il Freddy's Dad picked LF up and ran for the bathroom to wash his hands. Sick kid's dad glared at all of us. It's the holiday season for pete's sake. In our house, Christmas is a big deal and it's a week away. We have plans that do not include vicks vap-o-rub. I think I've mentioned how not fun it is to visit our pediatrician? In November my family set a record of 8 visits! We are already up to 3 for December. I was thinking the Airborne people were going to lose money on my family. You know if you send in 5 boxes, they send you a free one? I've been stashing those things away for weeks. Then I read the fine print and you have to have the flipping store receipt! Don't anyone tell me Airborne doesn't really work. I don't care if it is a placebo. I haven't gotten sick at all despite a sick household. I take mine with plain old water, not Mountain Dew (ahem), which I admit is tasty, but I think they somehow counteract each other. Stay well, people and if you're not, STAY HOME! Oh, and Peace!
