Today I thought hey Jimmy, Mary and I will go to lunch. We snuck out and went to Subway. We started having a lovely lunch of yummy subs when my phone rang. It was Morgan. Thus the following conversation....
Morgan: "Hey mom you know how I said my head itched? Well I told my teacher that it itched and she looked and I have bugs in my hair."
Me: "WHAT?"
Morgan:"Yes, the teacher doesn't know what it is. Will you come look?"
Me: "I will be here in a minute."
Of course I show up at school and Morgan's class is in the lunchroom. She hurries and eats her lunch and we go see the nurse. Of course the nurse proceeds to show me the little vermin trapsing through Morgan's hair. We took her out of school and headed straight for the pharmacy. When we got home I spent 20 minutes combing her hair with the special comb. I think there must have been 100+ bugs and nits that I took out. I soon decided that Morgan needed a haircut. I trimmed her hair really short. Took a lot of nits off that way. The whole procedure including the hair cut took over an hour. Ugh! Just they way I wanted to spend an afternoon.
Poor Jimmy took to cleaning. He has stripped beds, started laundry, vacuumed mattresses and carpets and used the lice spry on the beds and pillow. He has all the laundry downstairs. He is looking a little ragged, but he is doing a great job.
I hope your afternoon was better then mine.
Oh I feel your pain. I didn't mean to jinx you. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know KlarinetteGal I thought of emailing you yesterday and saying that very thing lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat's funny is that we were at lunch, too, when we got the call. They must be bad right now, because I know a few other people who have had this problem lately. Hopefully warmer weather will bring less sickness and less parasites... I guess we'll trade off the lice for mosquitoes.
