So, my little angels were at it again. They were quietly playing upstairs while I was working in the kitchen. After a few hours and a movie, I went upstairs to put something away and I saw this... (there were dresses packed on that shelf)
So, the next morning I went to do Natalie's hair for preschool when I saw a bunch of dirt in the part I had just created. But, when I looked closer and saw one of those dirt spots moving I almost screamed!! I called my mom (who was working at an elementary school that morning) and cried to her. She had some lice products in her nurses room there so we jumped in the car. Then begins the mental agony attached to this awful situation. What have my kids been doing over the last week, who have they played with and who do I have to call and break the news too? What do I have to clean and disinfect along with the laborious process of combing out the little bugger - so, yup,those pictures have a little more meaning now. As soon as I got home I put Ashley down and put the product in Natalie's hair, started a movie and spread halloween candy on the floor to keep everyone occupied and happy. After three hours of combing, I got Natalie's hair cleaned out. We went to the store to buy sprays and shampoos, then it was back home to begin the laundry and toy cleaning. It was a long week - a long quarentine week of cleaning, sanatizing and avoiding. No fun!

At least you know you have a VERY clean house now! Bummer about the lice. I think I would freak out too! And then throw away all my hair stuff and just buy it new....
Haunting. Horrible. I'm glad you survived and the lice didn't.
i feel sorry for you, when i first found out that my kids had head lice. i just didnt know what to do. everything went blank. so i called my husband. then he called the head lice removers. i just sat there crying. and sobbing.
i felt so helpless at that time.
