petri dishes

so it's true... i work with petri dishes. ugh. Don't get me wrong, i love teaching, LOVE it, but the illnesses jeez...i'd like to go to school in a giant bubble or maybe stay at home and skype my lessons to my class every day..ugh..
so here i am a human experiment of how long it takes a teacher to get the slime flu (what my kids call it)...i'm going on 52 days slime free.. wish me luck.
here are a few of my secrets..
*insist every 45 seconds that my kids at school use hand sanitizer.
*make them sing the ABC's twice while washing their hands.
*if someone sneezes or coughs i douse them in Lysol... okay not really.. but they do have to go wash their hands..
* douse my classroom in Lysol twice a day.. myself 15 times.. :0)
*eat lots of oranges ( I doubt this is doing anything ... really???)
*use 3-4 bottles of hand sanitizer a week.. it's a rule you know... unless you like slime.

and how do I avoid giving it to my adorable little girl... you might ask..

*sing the ABC's 14 times while washing my hands when I get home..
*manditory hand sanitizer after we leave any store.
*she only gets to leave the house at odd hours when most people aren't out and about..like walmart at 4 a..m... JUST KIDDING. But seriously we are staying home alot these days..
*watch the husband and myself like hawkes..a little obssessive yes... worth it.. hopefully.

all in all
here's to hoping for a slime free holiday season..
oh and are you going to vaccinate your little ones? tell me what your plans are...
