Lousy Weekend

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.

I am so sorry to hear about the lice! As a teacher, I'm constantly knocking on wood anytime I hear of people getting it, because I know it's SUCH a pain to get rid of. One of my students last year got it three times - but never spread it to anyone else miraculously.

Yeah, dealing with the initial infestation isn't too bad, it's the whole knowing that you miss just a few and it's going to start all over again that's maddening.

E is one of at least three in her class with it right now.
