Oh, boo, flea!
My sister had some success with olive oil: it drowns the adults and isn't toxic to the child.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

You know you're busy when people keep telling you to leave meetings early so you can get some more work done.

Flea, we finally dealt with lice via mayonaise. Same idea as the olive oil.

Now tagless for your comfort.
In Christmas Joy news, Casper has head lice. We JUST got over dealing with fleas. Pests - why so pesty?
I was volunteering in Liv's classroom last week when a classmate told me she had lice. I had to wait an hour before I could talk to the teacher about it and get the scoop. Her mother had kept her home for two days while they dealt with it. But our district does not require it nor does it require the parents of the infected kids to even inform the school. And no other notification goes out if they do.

We've had 2 notices from Casper's class, but a while ago. But apparently today they combed every kid's hair and found nits on about half of them, so about half of Casper's class sat in the nurse's office for 2 hours with plastic bags on their heads. I've never had lice or dealt with them on anyone before, but we've looked on everybody's head and I'm not seeing what the pictures on the internets show. Apparently they took 10 nits off Casper today, but I certainly didn't find any more. Is 10 a lot?

Dear Darby. Please eat your painkiller. It is a meat flavored chewable that I have wrapped in actual meat, and I am not taking you out again until you do .

Also, it's totally monkey grooming time in my house. Casper made us promise not to eat any nits we find.

Heh. Because the soil in SF is very sandy, lice are a perpetual problem. We've had to deal with it twice with Emmett in his youth, and twice with Matilda.
You just get the lice killing shampoo with the tiny nit-picky comb to get all the eggs and you are vigilant about boiling all the bedding and clothing in the house and you should be okay. None of y'all have very long hair so it shouldn't be too tricky.

So... how in this day and age does a body boil bed linens? I am being totally serious. My pot could hold a pillow case at best.
Hey, I sent an e-mail today that I'd been procraaaaaassssstinating on. Yay, me. I pat me on the back.
