Some road is proverbially paved with these, isn't it?
Perhaps it is just All of The Elements' ways of telling me that I am, in fact, NOT to write on this week's topic. Not only am I having an incredibly hard time crafting the words to the post on learning to love deeply, but everything seems to be coming UP in Life right now.
A youngster in La Princesita's class was sent home with lice today. Upon inspection this evening, I believe I found three nits in my Princesita's hair. So tonight, instead of taking the night to relax and write a bit, I am washing pillows, clothing and towels like a madwoman; vacuuming carpets and furniture; and quarantining stuffed animals and unwashables in huge plastic garbage bags. Both children have donned plastic shower caps over their olive-oiled heads and will sleep in such fashion overnight...three nits is all I found, but I will take NO CHANCES!!! And I will do the same tonight, as my entire body feels like it is crawling with little lice legs.
eeeeeeeeewww
At least we will have really well-conditioned hair tomorrow.
If I were in a better mood, I would take a picture for posterity's sake.

ResponderEliminarGirl, take care of you! You know we'll be reading anyway.
*hugs*
That would be the road to hell, I believe.
ResponderEliminarI've read that lice have become medication-resistant. Our son was sent home once and we gave his little head a buzz cut, looked very carefully and found ... nada.
And checking for nits in your child's hair, and making sure they are lice free, is DEEP LOVE! So you DID post about it, after all. :-)
ResponderEliminarLice sucks! One of my kids got lice back in their preschool days, and it was hard work getting rid of them. You literally have to remove each and every one with tweezers or a lice comb. Very time consuming. But at least you get to hold you kid in your lap while you check for nits.
ResponderEliminarICKY!!
ResponderEliminarI am a huge fan of Fairy Tales Rosemary shampoo and conditioner. It is a natural lice prevention etc.
The idea of lice freaks me out!! (Despite the deep love dad mentioned)
