of course, this week was going 2 good, right?
new ride, no kiddo activities in the eves so we've had more time 4 dinner, homework, etc...
well, then u'll never guess what happened!!!
we just discovered this morning that Corinn has picked up HEAD LICE from school!!!
ack!!!

she's been itching all week....my mom & i checked her over & over again - nothing! finally this morning, Curtis was washing her hair (again!) so we could put a deep conditioner on it (thinking maybe it's dry scalp???) & finally found the culprits! little did i know, they love clean hair!
i had 2 go in2 the school & talk 2 the nurse 2 find out what 2 do - i knew about the special shampoo, but didn't know when it would b safe 4 her 2 go back 2 school
she's at home with Curtis, getting "treated"....& he's on maid duty - cleaning the house like a mad man 2day!!! sheets, clothes, jackets, combs/brushes, stuffed animals (apparently, they can go in a plastic bag for 2 weeks & r then safe)....then sweep/vacuum everywhere (luckily, we don't have carpet)....& i'm insisting on not just Corinn's stuff either - EVERYONE'S!!! luckily, the nurse couldn't find much evidence on Corinn's head - so said we caught it early
no itching & we couldn't find anything on Gabby so far (of course, the school nurse is in the process of checking classrooms - she's going 2 check Gab's & Jaden's 2day) & well, she's really the only other one in the house we have to worry about getting it....i'm shaving jaden's head 2nite!
perfect time 4 me 2 b bald, right?! ~lol~
