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.

Being totally serious you just wash them in hot water. That's sufficient.

A couple of dryer cycles on high temp doesn't hurt, either.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am so not up with dealing with rotten acting kid. he was picking aright with me, would not shut up, started the whole I will run away shit, broke one of my standing clothes dryers. So being a weak assed weak ass, I gave in to make it stop and he has spent all his money and has in effect bought his own christmas from 2 of us. no gifts from one other person was the trade off. and he is under threat of me flipping out like a mammal if he speaks on word to me for the rest of the night. mad at him and me. I am fucking well buying my own god damn presents for myself from him.

Ah! I was too literal with the boiling. Can you tell I've never had small children with lice? (or without, just to be clear)

Well, that is crap, msbelle. I'm sorry.
