I don't know anyone who has had a better week than this past week! Just when I think my life can't get anything more into it, that's when the bugs come! This past week was a very hectic one, including a test in modern physics, homework due in fourier series class, miguel leaving to go out of town and having a babysitter come relieve my other babysitter, having to drive to Houston by myself (after just taking Ethan to the Dr. to get shots), helping my sister move in, trying to get my kids to nap, trying to get my kids to go to bed, and then finding out that Livi has lice. Yes, the parasite that lives in your hair. Ethan had it too. They both only had nits (which are the eggs and can't be spread). After disinfecting my mom's house, learning that I had lice too, my sister went to my other sister's house to pick up Eli. His head was pretty nasty with the lice. So, my sister brought him over to my mom's, I shaved his head and then put lice shampoo on him. I did this only after my sister put the shampoo on me, my brother shaved Ethan's hair, I cut livi's hair and put shampoo on them. Then, I had to comb thru literally each strand of her hair and pull out the nits with my fingernails (they are really hard to get off). As if that wasn't enough, then my mom and I got into a really big argument and I had only slept 3 hours the night before! After sleeping Saturday night and dreaming all about parasites and what I was going to have to do when I got home, we headed home. That's when the real fun began! I had to wash everyone's bedding, vacuum the house, the furniture, disinfect brushes and combs (did I mention Miguel was in Reno this whole time?), unpack the car, call Eli's teacher, look for nits in the kids' head and somehow get some sleep? I think that Eli brought it home to everyone from school (which is usually what happens). Miguel didn't get it--probably b/c he's at work most of the time and out of town when all hell breaks loose!
And that's it for my horrible,terrible,no good, very bad week!
Hope yours was better!
(by the way, if anyone needs some knowledge about lice, I have a lot I could share with you!)

You poor thing! On the upside - this week kind of HAS to be better by comparison, right?
I am so sorry! What a pain in the butt. I hope you never have to go through that again! School is almost over though, so at least you wont have to worry about that for a while!!!
How horrible. That just stinks! I don't think that I would have been able to sleep very well at all.
Oh my goodness. What a nightmare for you. Hopefully, that's the last of those nasty little critters.
Ah, Wendy!! I'm So sorry. My kids had that happen when they were younger and it's awful. Hopefully you got it taken care of -- I hate this for you!
What a week. I hope that things get better soon!
