Exhausted!


So this week has been crazy. I am sick again (I think maybe alergies) and we found out we had a surprise challenge to work around. Grace has head lice! HAVE MERCY!! I was hoping she could at least wait till she went to school to go through this childhood right of passage, but no such luck. So, I have been cleaning the house like a mad woman. As you can see in the picture above, we have bagged a lot of stuff, anything with fabric we can't wash. We opted to go with a pesticide free method of treatment so I have treated her hair three times now. Which is followed by two hours of combing it to try and remove the nits (eggs). And each day I have still been able to find more. But, no more bugs. So I ended up talking to my cousin Michelle, who also once had two little girls with head lice. She had a crazy six week battle so she is an expert. She gave me some all natural products she swears by so we are going to try those today. I am hoping they will work as well for us as they did for her. Fortunately none of the rest of us have them. So, if you face these unwanted pests in the future-give me a call I will totally sympathize with you and let you know what worked for us. On the bright side Grace has enjoyed lots of additional tv/movie viewing time while I treat her hair and she is too little to be embarrassed. Friends, pray for me I am needing it.
