Panera and ...stuff!

I am at Panera again. I really enjoy coming here. I dropped my kids off at a VBS and now have a short time to myself. I spend thins time gettting caught up on some emails and also getting my coupons cut and organized. I think it is nice to have some time to do these things. I could do these things at home but somehow it is nicer to be here.

I don't have much to talk about today. Okay, maybe I do...I have had a long month dealing with Lice. I have been embarrassed to talk about it to most people. My daughter picked up lice about a month ago from who knows where. Anyways, I treated all of us, except for Matt since he is bald :-), and checked her hair over and over. I had given her seveal mayo treatments, an olive oil treatment and so forth. I washed everything in her room, sheets, pillows, curtains, etc. I vacuumed everything and thought I was good. I was beginning to check her hair less often, other than twice a day...and thought we were out of the woods. I found a nit here and there so I was starting to worry that I missed something. I treated her and myself again...even though I never found it in mine. Well, one day I was shopping with my kids...already NOT a fun afternoon and I looked at my son...He had it! Ugh!! I was so upset. He had it all over his hair. He mentioned for the first time his hair was itchy that day but, he had it everywhere...that must have been why I would find a nit or two in her hair.

Then I found out my in-laws and niece's had it. I was so embarrassed and upset. They all treated themselves and it seems like it was taken care of. Then On following Friday...a week later I found a bug in her hair...I had been checking her hair everyday for a week...so I don't know why she had it again!!?? So on Friday I treated hair again with that VERY expensive shampoo stuff. Ugh!! My friend came over and helped...Thanks Lora!! I now have washed EVERYTHING in Makenna's room...or at least they are bagged and ready to be cleaned...I could use a few washers and dryers lately! I bagged up everything that could possibly hold a nit. I washed everything in her drawers...even all the socks! I have changed the sheets twice since Friday, washed the towels everyday and even washed Barbie Doll and Baby Doll clothes. I still have to wash everything in Ryan's closet...but he does not venture in there too often...so it probably is safe...but still as a precaution, I will do it!

I have had her hair in braids and check both of their hair everyday. I never did find anything else in His hair after I treated him the first time...but I treated him again. Ugh. The only home remedy I didn't try was Listerine...which may come next...BUT lets hope it doesn't or I will Lose it!!
