Nit Picking-LITERALLY!


So, it is Friday.
I am trying to get ready to go out of town.
Organizing stuff @ home and stuff for my trip.
The phone rings.
It is the school nurse.
"Your child has HEAD LICE!
GREAT!
Pick up said child from school plus her 2 non-lice infested siblings.
Go to drug store for smelly shampoo.
Come home and treat 7 kids heads-just in case.
Strip all sheets from beds.
Vacuum carpets, mattresses, sofas etc.
Wash all coats, hats, brushes combs.
Throw away all pillows.
Buy new pillows, brushes, combs.
Pick nits out of child's head for approx. 2 hours. (I wish I could have just shaved her head)
Continue to do laundry until the wee hours of the night!
Sounds like fun-doesn't it?
And if you can't tell by the picture, Hadley is the one with the lice.
She is the ONE.
If something is going to happen it will happen to Hadley.
Broken bones, stitches, hospitals...
That's just how it is with her.
I think there is one like that in every family!
