Okay I am really very over all of this swine flu business. My oldest has had the swine flu for 2 weeks now. What I find strange and a little "chicken little" about this situation are these items; a) any flu is called the swine flu right now because we are not in the regular flu season b) the flu test is coming back with a 50 -60 % false-negative c) the actual "treatment window is a 24 window at the first sign of symptoms and the studies only show the symptoms lasting 4.5 - 6 days vs. the standard 6 -7 days - what's a half day? or a day? This information was all given to me from the doctor at the emergency room. AM had a temperature all weekend and had passed out. I knew the passing out had to do with dehydration but went to the hospital any how for a number of reasons. The two top reasons being passing out and the 5 month old. All of this information just seems so ambiguous to me. I do not plan on getting my kids the swine flu vaccine because I do not feel like it has had enough time to be tested properly. **The list is what I heard from the doctor and the vaccine is my own opinion - you should make your own!** AM is still sick as I said but last year she got sick and was sick for about the same time. So I am unconvinced about all of the craziness over this swine flu stuff.
As you may have noticed I have not posted in a while. Sorry! As I mentioned I am in a bit of a slump but we also have a lot of change going on in our house. I will post more when everything has been finalized. I mean this in a working sense - nothing too serious!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Sorry again for being so neglectful!

What's That Smell?
Does anyone else play this game? I am sure it is my laziness or my pursuit of avoidance, but there is always a smell. No kidding. Everyday I feel like I am playing the "What's that smell?" game.
Today the smell was coming from the fridge. A nice change because I knew where the smell was coming from but gross all the same.
I have the sense of a bloodhound. People think I am crazy because I can always pick up on the scent of rank.
Anyways back to my fridge. We got back from Vegas on Saturday night - Late. On Sunday I happened to open the fridge and instantly I shut it. I think the scent from the fridge leaped out and grabbed my uvula, because it caused a gag reflex. Now I have to say I keep pretty clean bathrooms but I totally avoid the fridge. The thought of old food and mold makes me gag. When you avoid things in the fridge they just become moldier - and I avoid them more.
So finally today I had avoided the smell as long as possible - it was time to clean out the fridge. I am not sure what the smell was but I had bought a lot of produce at Sam's a week or more ago and most of it was sitting in my fridge decomposing. I filled half a trash bag of mostly produce. Not only did the smell make me sick but the thought of all that had been wasted made me sick.
I will end with saying the smell is not usually from my fridge, I have three kids and the "What's that smell?" game rarely ends the same. Happy Hunting! ;)
