Now I have to tell my headlice story. Boy have I learned a lot.
It was when my oldest daughter was in 5th grade. Her head had been itching and I looked for headlice but I didn't know what I was looking for. I got her head & shoulders and couldn't get rid of her itch & dandruff.
One of the other PTA moms that I was talking to said the rash on the back of her neck was caused by headlice. I said no way because I looked. Ha!!! When she got home I whipped her head over and really looked this time. And guess what I found.
I was soo embarrassed. The letter going home from school was because of us. The girl who she sat next to was sent home and didn't come back for a week. I said to the teacher we know either where it came from or who we gave it to. He assured me that is where it came from.
What a lot of work. Washing everything fabric in the whole house. Vacuuming the beds & carpets every day and putting every stuffed animal in plastic bags.
Not a good time was had by all. My DH was not at sea but he still wasn't any help.
