The Saga Continues

I would definitely have to say the past week has been one of the most challenging in my life emotionally, mentally, and physically. Definitely not the MOST challenging, but certainly not one I would like to repeat. I'm hoping to put it all behind me, but unfortunately the work I have to do to catch back up around the house won't let me forget that quickly!

Jason and the baby remain lice free. I found five eggs on the boys yesterday, but only one each today. They seemed to be more towards the end of their hair (what little they have) so I think they are old ones we just missed. My mom went through my hair again today (I was so thankful!) and she found four eggs and one adult bug (DEAD!). We stared at that thing under a magnifying glass for quite some time just to make sure!

I'm sure just reading about this makes you want to scratch your head, doesn't it? Well, just imagine actually having them on your head and think of how you'd feel. Crazy. Panicked. Nervous. Yes, I've felt those emotions and probably a few more. I told Jason tonight that there were moments in this week that I felt like I did the first week after Gavin was born - I wanted to crawl in a closet, hide, and allow myself a good cry.

We'll be treating our heads again the beginning of next week and I plan to do some more spraying and vacuuming. I started the process of folding all the laundry after throwing the clothes back in for another half hour in high heat. I am so determined to kill them all! My dad helped me vacuum out the van last night and I got the boys' car seats put back together.

Please pray for continued energy and that we will avoid reinfestation!
