Oh and head lice. There's a 50-50 chance your kid(s) is going to come home with head lice. Doesn't matter how clean you keep your kids or your house. When it happens PM me and I'll tell you my sure-fire method of getting rid of them.
####### lice. My daughter's school had a constant battle with these things, and we got an email about twice a week about checks, kids all being sent to the nurse, etc. Finally after about two months my daughter got the damn things. Paid $300 to some place that specializes in getting rid of them.
Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.
When this happens in the Sweet J household, two things happen:
1. The clippers come out for the boys (me and the boy), and the scissors for the girls. You HAVE to hold firm on this. No objections.
2. We nuke the f^ck out of or hair. Whatever I can buy at the CVS that comes closest to Agent Orange, we are using. Multiple applications, and if the label says "wait two weeks between applications" that meens apply once now, once in a week, and again in another week.
The kids' mom talks about using vasoline, or olive oil or whatever, and a nit-picking comb. Bah. Heavy chemicals.
