Infestation

I hate to say it! I just hate the word itself!!!

L-I-C-E!

Just typing that makes me want to gag!!!

I knew it could come to this when we started school! We've had 3 notes home this school year about L-I-C-E (I told you I hate the word ). Karis has been itchy and we finally realized what it was last night! Ugh! It wasn't until after her bath, before going to bed. Luckily I had kept one of the notes that came home with them in the past and it was thorough about what to do (albeit in Spanish, but that's what Google Translate is for!!).   My dh was able to find our local pharmacy still open and purchased the lotion/shampoo to rid the suckers!!

I am now educated on the disgusting little creatures (that I found still wiggling in the L-I-C-E comb when brushing through her hair). Gag, bleck!!

She was such a trooper though!!

As a kid, I use to think people that got L-I-C-E were the most filthy, disgusting people on the planet (ok, I was in jr high.  I don't think that anymore, I promise!).  Have you seen those things? They are NASTY!! Somehow I never got it (here's hoping and praying it's not been passed. So far the rest of us are good).

All the while Jerry has had the flu (he's a bit better now) and he was in the midst of packing for a trip. And me having all kinds of plans today, which part of them I had to change.

But hopefully all my combing and cleaning will pay off and prayerfully, we are infestation free!

Bleck!

Even if they are disgusting little creatures, I still love my girl!  Poor thing!!  My trooper!
