The week before Halloween it was discovered that just about everyone in our family had head lice. Yuck! This was our first experience with it. Having so many children, and most being girls with long hair, made for a lengthy and tiring process of cutting and treating hair. I also thought our usual amount of laundry was a lot, but this event brought out a year supply of laundry all at once! Thankfully, we have a friend who has been through this before and she became our lice fairy. She counseled and helped us, as well as another family from our co-op who was going through it at the same time. We couldn't have made it without her! Just the sheer amount of time to treat everyone a few times and then pick nits from so many heads of hair for a couple of weeks was daunting. She made it manageable. Thank you Janine!
It was a tough few weeks, but now that the storm has passed, I can talk about it. :)
