I am so ready for Spring!!!!

All my kids stayed home for weeks actually when they had the pox. Two of them were not even in school yet though.

I am just never amused that others send their kids to school contagious w/ lots of stuff. Adults do the same thing, sit in an office hacking all over others. GROSS

I understand sometimes that adults go to work contagious because they cannot afford to take off or their superiors would frown upon too much time off. It's a shame that society is "forced" at times to work under ill conditions. It feels we don't have choices at times being dictated by others.

The health of ourselves and others should be a priority - somewhere that priority has been lost by some.

Doesn't make sense to me at times.

I couldn't agree with you more. Emmie's tumble coach has a blood disorder. The last thing she needs is Chicken Pox!

At our gym the kids can join as many team as they can handle. We have different dance teams and also different cheer teams. Here is my daughter in an old uniform at a competition.



So the comp for our squad was cancelled because of the Chicken Pox outbreak.The coach didn't take her daughter to the cheer comp on Sunday but let her go to her dance comp on Sat. I just don't understand it at all. Can you imagine how many grandparents and pregnant women she may have infected. I told my husband that if I was a preg mom at the gym and found out the she was at the gym and was contagious you can bet I would be suing! I would own that place. Chicken Pox is nothing to play with. The whole thing is just sad if you ask me.
