DD#3 came home all upset last week, her field trip had been cancelled because of the swine flu scare.

Mind you, we live west of San Antonio, and the scare amongst the Austin – San Antonio corridor has been wild and wooly.  In fact, our nephew’s here for the week because his school (including county and city districts) cancelled ALL classes for 10 days. 

Although we have no confirmed cases in our area, the school is taking precautions and has cancelled all field trips (though, of course, not SPORTS events) until further notice.

But, the poor lass was so distraught, and I did absolutely NOTHING to dispel her disappointment … because, as she told me the “why” … I couldn’t do anything except laugh {badmom}:

Mommy, our field trip has been cancelled because of the SWAN flu!
