I read today that if there is a confirmed swine flu case within a school that the recommendation is to temporarily shut the school down. I shouldn't wish for this. But all day today I was thinking of how much fun we could have. I'm sure I would get tired of it, but if we were home bound , truly homebound, not able to leave for an extended period of time, what would we do? That has consumed me. I've come up with schedules (which is a little crazy if not hormonal). We would swim a lot. Make lots of bread. I should probably go buy some fabric so we can have quilting projects. (Should that be part of a year supply? I probably should finish my un-finished first). I wish we could have chickens and a cow (but please, no pig). Wouldn't it be fun to be self-sustaining? I don't think a garden works well in the summer here, but we could start seedlings indoors come fall. Doesn't this sound great? I could teach Rachel piano. Lindsey and Kimmer could excel on their own. We have lots of black and pinto beans and rice. We'd save a lot of money! Maybe I should do a little more shopping. I'll make a list.
Nice way of looking at the potential problems this could cause. I still think the way some countries are over-reacting (like Egypt) is quite comical! The quilting and homemade bread ideas sound divine!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking it would be fun to move in with some friends or family right now so that when the madness hits we could play and self-sustain together. :)
