Lousy Weekend

[mysid]

My poor daughter is having a lousy weekend. She knows that I have to go over everything with a fine-toothed comb, but she is getting fed up with my nitpicking. Literally.

Yes, friends, lice. We've been having an epidemic of lice at my children's school, and as of a couple days ago, my daughter E is the latest victim. Now we are washing, steam cleaning, and spraying everything. Die, lice, die.

My husband has been asking her, "Are you sure you don't want to get it cut?" as she has long (three inches below shoulders), very wavy, and incredibly thick hair. The first night, I spent 2 1/2 hours combing it all with a lice comb. Now that we've succeeded in pulling out every loose or semi-loose strand, it all goes much easier and more quickly. But, ugh.
