“So then, what do we do?”

You know it is my ever present sense of torment, lol! Fancy even asking!! 😛 I know a sensible woman would either forget about it and do some washing, or she would spend some time in prayer over the issues. Me, I have never pressed a claim to being sensible 😎 So I have a little stress over it, then I start tormenting myself again about where my duty lies in political activism, and is it valid as a woman, and is it valid as a Christian, and… and….and… (and I just give myself a headache to no real advantage to the rest of the world.)

And the swine flu? I’ve been having some fun with that one. 😀

We went to the shops the other day during school hours. It hardly ever happens; not by design, but merely because I don’t like shopping! Anyway, it took me a while to work out why everyone was staring at us. Three school aged children in everyday clothes out during school hours attracts some serious attention.

I was tiring of being a spectacle. Our eldest girl did actually have the remains of a nasty cough. The last leg of the trip we were going down the escalator and one particular lady was so rudely and openly staring that I was waiting for the Chicklette to cough. Then I was going to lean over to Mrs NosyParker and whisper, all confidential like, “swine flu”.

Maybe it was God restraining me from indulging my sad sense of humour, but you know, the Chicklette didn’t cough all the way down that escalator! 😛

It is a satirical piece…which contains many valid points. But after reading politcal blogs (how do you do that? ?:-) ) surely it seems more important than ever. So many things seem to slip in under the rug, while out attention is elsewhere. (I wonder what it being passed as our attention is on the current swine flu paranoia).

So then, what do we do?

It was met with an ominous silence. I wondered then how long it will be before we are deemed too brainless to feed our children. Sadly, it is the dead beats who would welcome someone taking over the care of their children, coupled with all those do-gooder hyper responsible (read that as busy-body controlling types) who would welcome this kind of state intrusion with open arms and laud it as the greatest thing since…well, since public education, I guess.

It’s great satire, and normally I would chuckle at it. But it’s a little too close to home after I’ve spent the morning reading political blogs. Goodbye freedom, hello Marxism!

“We started cooking and eating at home when we realized that my son had a severe allergy to eggs. The public kitchens required him to take numerous medications that had serious side effects in order to counteract his allergy. We found that eliminating eggs was a simpler method and our son has thrived since we began doing so.”

😎 Cool.

Oh dear Missy…I’m so sorry friend. It is sarcasm (yes, the lowest form of humour). Did you notice the date of the ‘article’; April 13, 2099.

It’s an education/homeschool parallel 😉 Sorry if I caused you angst.
