The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Let them go! Let them go!
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Schools are the absolute WORST for spreading germs back to the homes of the little kiddies!You ain't kidding.
Sadly, most parents don't give a fig about sending their sick kids to school to spread the germs. And since the school won't send them home unless they are stomach sick or feverish, every cold/cough/sniffle bug is spread like wildfire.
When I went grocery shopping yesterday, I had to grab a bottle of Triaminic for the girls. There were another 3 moms standing in that very spot comparing medicines for the same symptoms my girls have.
I grabbed the Triaminic and said "Don't bother with the others. This one is the best!" :-D

I forgot my password twice in the same day.
Luckily I didn't get the same help desk person both times.

hehehehe...
My mom cooks rice nearly every night. White mostly, but sometimes yellow.
I barely eat it because I'm just so sick of it after so many years.

Heh. I stopped by the grocery store on the way home from werk. They had the economy-sized chlorox wipes by the door.

Joseph went to bed one night last year with a bad cough and running a fever. I didn't even bother to wake him up for school the next day. When I called to tell them he wouldn't be coming in, I said why, and my friend, Debbie, who works in the Admissions Dept. said "Thank you for keeping him home!"
There are so many in the high school who don't want to miss a day and have to do make up work, that they'll come in deathly ill and spread that joy to all the boys!

It's no coinkydink!
I try to remind Rebecca to wash her hands all the time, but kids will be kids. Clean hands just aren't important!
I put a little bottle of hand sanitizer in her backpack in the hopes that when she sees it, she'll use it and share it.

I just try to stay away from people who have kids in publik skool.

School is their child care, and they don't want to have to find a replacement at the last minute. Exactly.
I'm guilty of going to work with a cold bug. Most folks do that.
But we grown-ups are better at remembering to wash our hands and keep our germs to ourselves as much as possible. Kids will sneeze into their hand and then pass their friend a pencil. :-P

Good strategy, but almost impossible to accomplish.
Unless you build one of those large plastic bubbles you can roll around in. :-D

I just hide in the lab with the single people and the empty-nesters.
To: Overtaxed
*grin*
That'll work!
Until friends (with sick kids) come to visit them and they become contaminated.
Germs. They're ~everywhere~!!
