All i do is clean clean clean clean too! ugh
Its been 2 weeks and 2 days since I decided to give up smoking. I am not gonna lie, i have slipped up twice. I'm not kicking myself too hard though it IS HARD. and I think two in two weeks aint so bad plus I have been SUPER stressed lately. I don't even want to say why, just saying it makes me want to cry! but last monday I got the dreaded call from the middle school nurse. I had to go get William. She didn't want to tell me over the phone, and when she did , I didn't even comprehend what she was saying because I did not expect it.... he had lice. His nurse called Kamryns school nurse and Brandons school nurse and had them both checked at their schools and they were given the all clear. I also checked Landon and he was ok.I drove William home and didn't even let him in the house. I came in and got my clippers and buzz cut his hair out in the yard. Then ( since I had no treatment stuff) i slathered what was left of his hair in mayo ( some old wives tale I guess) and wrapped it in seran wrap and made him sit on the deck while I rushed to the store for the shampoo and spray and whatever I could find. ( it was a very nice day and he had shade,a snack and water LOL) when I got back I made him wash out the mayo and I treated it with lice shampoo, as well as everyone else as a precaution, I then started washing EVERYTHING that would fit in the washing machine in hot water, and vaccumed my ass off.
However,despite my attempts.... on Friday I looked at Landons head again, as I had done everyday and lo and behold what do I see? I then check Kamryn.... there they are...and Brandon, yup him too. Brandons hair is already short but I buzz cut him too and retreated him. Treated Kamryn again ( this was her 3rd time, first two were precautionary) and slathered Landon in mayo ( didn't want to put any more chemicals on him) I treated me and George too, even though I couldnt find any on him and my mom had been checking me and said I had nothing. I have spent HOURS and HOURS going through every single strand of Kamryns hair, and Landons as he will let me. My heart breaks as I realize I have to cut his hair too. I have spent $ I don't really have ordered all sorts of organic and chemical stuff. I don't know how exactly I managed to avoid these buggers for the first 16 years of motherhood...my heart goes out to anyone who has ever dealt with this!
I just spent another couple hours picking at kamryns head and I am keeping her hair tightly braided and covered in hairspray to keep anymore from going in and any I may have missed from coming out.
this is a NIGHTMARE.. so yesterday I broke dow and smoked one. lol I am not going back to it. i want to be a runner more than I want to be a smoker lol
Ok, I feel better getting that out, I am off to wash more and vaccume more.
