Well, life
goes on, doesn't it? We have had so many trials, and so many
blessings, but the trials always pop into my mind. Damn human
nature.
We have fought lice four
times this school year. I'm sick of it. I used to work day
care, so I know what to do. The beds, the furniture, the heads,
the pillows, EVERYTHING. I KNOW what to do....yet they come
back. I am sure there is a kid there who isn't getting rid of
them, but I can't control that. I can only fix it when it
happens. The last time we did the shampoo stuff on Natalie, I sat
her down to comb thru her hair, and there were a few live ones.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? The stuff should kill them.
Period. It didn't. I called the doc.
Yeah, he agrees with the home
remedy that everyone has heard of, but nobody believes. He said
to put mayonaise in her hair, wrap it in plastic, and leave it
overnight. Tonight, we did it. Now, I love mayonaise.
I really do. But the smell of THAT much mayo at one time made me
gag. I was almost physically ill. I got it done, wrapped
her head in plastic wrap, and put a shower cap on her. I'm sick
of it. I'll try anything. Her coat has been washed, her
sheets will be washed first thing in the morning, while she
showers. The stuffed animals are stuffed....in a bag. I am
praying that this fixes it. If not, I fear I'll go
crazy...literally crazy.
The little car is working out
well. It got hot the first day, but JJ (the awesome neighbor) and
Kevin agreed that it was probably an air bubble in the system. It
hasn't done it since. We can't use the passenger door,
which is a drag, but other than that, it's all gravy. I gotta get
into Dad's shop in the morning and get an ice scraper out of the
van. I bet there are three or more in there, but not a single one
in the LeBaron. That sucks when the frost is on.
We are still climbing out of
the hole that we dug ourselves into the past two weeks. I think
we can beat the wolves off for a bit, but it's gonna be tight around
here for a bit. Mom and Dad have been great about it, and helped
us out a lot. I don't know what I'd do without them.
Honestly.
Work is work. I can't
say much more than that. There have been many decisions
made. Some good, some bad. All I can do is watch it play
out and see what happens.
I pray for some financial
relief. I pray for Russ's parents. I pray for my own
parent's health. I pray for my kids and husband. I pray for
my mother-in-law. I pray for warmer weather. God forgive
me, I pray for a night out with my husband without financial
worry. I pray. Yeah, I pray...what else are ya gonna do?

The stuff you buy on the market those little bugs are immune to..not only does the Mayo work ,it is the best in getting those little eggs off also . If your girls are any thing like Lyndsay they wont want any mayo on sandwiches for a while Lyndsay had to go thru it when Christyn and Lany lived here and she was so little that she said she would never eat mayo again. Baby oil with aloe works great also it is just much harder to get out... And both these treatments are wonderful conditoners... From the professional at fighting those little buggars.
....just be glad yours don't have afro-curly hair like Ryan's.... :-X eeesh. That kid is lucky I didn't shave her bald....heh....

when my youngest daughter was young she got lice everytime i turned around. o it was such a nightmare to me. i got to a point where i become really panic each time i spotted it on her. the shampoo isnt really healthy to be using it as much as i had to. and the work you must do like washing all the bedding and all had me emotional and physicaly exhausted. now my oldest daughter never had to go through this not once in her life. so the maynasie works??? that would be such a better way to go versus the harsh shampoos. http://journals.aol.com/calmingtherain/tradingsorrows/debbie
