Some days are just difficult. Two days ago was one of them. First we received an email with some disappointing news. That was enough. But, it was not all, Dawn noticed that Carmen was scratching her head alot. So I look and saw the creeping crawlers--lice. Yuck!!! Dawn washed her hair, 3 times with medicated shampoo before we no longer saw any live ones.
Then Dawn started cutting the boys hair short. Wouldn't you know it, we found the white "nits" in another boy. More shampoo. Between the bad news and lice, Dawn was a little tearful all day.
But yesterday was better and Dawn was back to her old self. Then last night we were telling the boys to go to bed, when Dawn says to the boy with the lice, "good night, sleep tight, don't let the head bugs bite."
To which instead being sad and tearful, Dawn started laughing so hard she had tears on her cheeks. Of course we all joined in the good natured laugh and joke.
