We had a nice day, studied Jazz with the boys this afternoon, we learned about Dixieland and Swing Jazz, the boys had fun, we found a nice site on pbs kids. Isa ended up with a busted lip thanks to Ibrahim and him tusseling over the remote for the tv. Idreis and Ish were happy to get out of here and go to practice with Khalid. I took the others to the "kid's gym" as Inayah has named it, the indoor play area. They had a good run for a hour and we walked there so the walk back was a little brutal for them because of the weather conditions and lack of nap for the day, but we made it. It is getting cold here and definently need hat and gloves and layers on. My cheeks were rosey when we made it back.
Managed to get them all in bed by 9:30, only to find out from Khalid that the team has cancelled next week road trip because of H1N1 and then I get online and do some surfing, to also learn that they have closed schools here for 3 weeks....... Now if you have been reading, you know what that means...., 3 more weeks of homeschool! Dont' know if I should scream now or later. The links I found are here under H1N1 and Influenza A. I have to admit I am a bit on the weary side... I don't know if the vacine is safe, but I do know they don't even have it here yet... we did get the regular flu shots before we left. The ironic thing is when we were walking home from the playland I saw a man with a medical face mask on, and I thought to myself, I wonder why he has that on...., now I know why. I know the best things we can do is keep our hands washed, etc.. good thing they have all been breastfed and have all those extra infectious fighting immune systems. Some good information from the CDC, and I know that hand washing and other common sense tools are the best way to fight flu and other sickness.
I'm still a little scared, okay a lot scared... but can't let fear be my guide.
