if any of you have been thru this before you know its a nightmare.
first of all,my oldest is in a play that opens on friday...an adult play.on sunday i have to take my other kids with me as my h has a jets game.i am asst. stage manager of the show & also ferry all the kids around.i was supposed to take care of some last minute details today.my kids have already started wearing all their coats & rolling around in my unfolded laundry & playing musical beds.well this morning the little one says her head itches.uh oh.
yeah her & the middle one have the dreaded lice.
now i have to alert the school.
& still ferry these typhoid marys around with me.
& wash EVERYTHING.
& quell them.
the oldest & me have dye in our hair so so far we're safe but i still have to keep her home.
& keep the lice a secret at the theater.
this SUCKS.
i hate hate hate hate hate hate lice.
it's like the worst curse i can think of.
the ONLY thing i have o my side is a husband who doesn't mind spending hours picking nits out of hair.
bless his heart.
i could never.
help!

i only know how horrific it is cuz i've been thru it...& no one likes you when they know your kids have it.so its especially awful when you have obligations & have to drag your kids along with you.you feel like the leper king.
