Swine and Dandy

Ok so we all know it. The Swine Flu is here. In Nashville. It is everywhere, there is no gettin around it. I am, of course, a nervous wreck about it due to my current state and no matter what is told to make me feel better about it, I just can't shake my concern. So, in an attempt to be a good mother-to-be, I have not only put Graham on the mission of getting me a facemask from the hospital (this is really in preparation for flying next week), but I also took myself to Kroger at 8 this morning to stock up on purell.

You would have thought it was Y2K. I mean there is NO Purell! All that was left was the Kroger brand version, which I reluctantly took, but I mean the shelf looked as though last night they opened the doors of Kroger for 2 minutes and told people this was their only chance to get this Purell aka Gold because even the leftover Kroger brand was a mess. Since I went, I have also been told that Walgreens in Green Hills is sold out as well. Apparently no one except me thought the Kroger brand was acceptable and all bolted eslewhere after the Kroger mad dash. So, if you have not stocked up on this very valuable commodity, you, like me, may end up with the Kroger Brand formula which I have faith works just the same. And if you do happen to see some Purell, approach with caution because there are probably some moms out there who are on the prowl to get those last few valuable bottles and no one can predict what they will do to make it theirs!

As far as my flying with a facemask on and Kroger hand sanitizer in hand, I am still unsure if I will be able to take the plunge and get on a plane...aka a germ carrier. Stay tuned.
