Take 1 semi-rainy/sunny morning, (the last day of daycare for the year,)
add a 2 year old waking at 6.30 am, The promise of a hair appointment makes it not so bad coupled with the idea that i may get to palmy meet-up sans-children, however woke up with the flu, cold tablet adminsitered, still not so bad, feeling a bit better, struggles with kids to get them dressed, (4yr old woke in a crapper of a mood) breakfast for kids... ah peace doing hair time.... Hang on a minute, WTF?! is that!? "oh for god's sake! nits!!! f-word" checks other smaller child's hair, finds them there too "unmentionable angry words" mutter mutter calls to daycare...to tell them what we found and that girls will miss last day (miss 4 devastated she doesn't get to say goodbye to friends that are starting school at start of next year and to teachers who are leaving) calls to hairdresser to cancel appointment in case i too have them, (oh how embarassing would that be.. just to be safe). the whole day wasted.... the last day me and mike had planned together for a while, gone. Instead 1 hour wet-combing miss 2's hair to completely ensure removal of any last remainder of anything that is remotely not hair, including half a tonne of sand, some glitter and a couple of crawlies. Then, get this, i finally found a reason that a) I found myself wishing i'd had boys so i could just shave their heads, and b) I found the reason why getting miss 4's hair cut might not be such a bad idea, and c) why i shall no longer be using the same brush for both girls hair TWO AND A HALF HOURS!!!!! to wet comb through paris's hair cos it's so darn thick, comp,lete with periods of quiet, interspersed with periods of unbearable 4-yr old whinging and having to stay still (which she wasn't even doing may i add!) ARGHARGHARGHARGHARGHARGH!!!!! 
call to mum to come and *grovel grovel* please check my hair, nothing at all found, thank god, now angrier at having missed hair appointment - can't get another till after xmas! To chemist to get something to put through kids hair to kill off anything that may have somehow slipped through the military-like precision of my wet-combing. more hours spent treating/washing/ waiting/ shampooing, realisation that there will now be no hint of cold in my house for at least a year after the strength of the eucalyptus smell now emanating from each of our heads. Shaved mikes hair in the meantime too - even though nothing in his he still feels like head crawling - he's now sporting #1 length.. am slowly getting used to it, S-l-o-w-l-y... ok, so he looks like a crim. I turn around after this, at 6pm this evening (finally) to find kids have run riot throughout house while not in my sight, house is a mess, they are now feral and wanting food. 7.30 dinner finally over 8pm, kids beds remade from complete wash of all bedding (thank god for tiny rays of sunshine throughout the day) ahhhh relax. GGGGGRRRRR at whoever the hell sent their kids to daycare with nits to begin with. first time paris has EVER had them.. and Also first time Ayja has had them - never had this problem when she was in baby section! Argh, and I am so careful, always checking cos i know it would be a nightmare for paris to get them... ha! predicitions proved 100% correct! ARGH rant over end. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I would seriously consider this if i had not taken cold tablets.
We also found in the middle of all this, once ayja had been finished with she got into pantry and took advantage of not being fully supervised by eating a few mashmellows and a opening 2 days worth of chocolates from the chocolate callendar - which she proudly told us.. and well, it was only her own not any one elses, so no doubt the 21st and the 23rd will be fun mornings for us as she misses out while we have ours... I can hear the tantrums now. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Omigoodness. I haven't EVER checked Han's hair as she won't let me anywhere near it to brush it... so I could totally be one of those parents letting their kiddos go to daycare with nitty things! eeeeek.
Now my head is itchy. Checking kiddos hair tomorrow. Must get PVA out anyway, kill two birds with one stone. P.S. Laughing my little ass off about the sand, glitter etc. |

I had always checked and checked Paris's hair and never found anything till today but man they were very hard to actually see hence the time taken to wet-comb cos there was no way i wanted to miss any.
But ayja - had never really thought to check hers, is always half up half down and just lifted the back lot of curls and there was 1.... i so know the ICK feeling, have treated myself as well just cos, and i still just feel crawly - i hate this.. when my little sis used to get them i'd never get them but always feel ick and crawly feeling. bleugh ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Haha at the crim look. But yucky at the feeling of nits, makes me glad I have boys so they can just have their head shaved off (like Andrew is now sporting). But if you feel like it we can drink a bottle of wine (or 2) together ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
