Itch. Itch. Itch.

First one of the third grades in the school in which I work had lice.
Then a second grade.
And a kindergarten.

And then a lice note went through Punk's school. The lice was in one of the elementary classrooms but they sent the note to everyone.

And then lice was back in the kindergarten at work.

All of this lice talk makes me itchy all the freaking time! MAKE IT STOP, PEOPLE.

Itch.
Itch.
Itch.

Ugh, that sort of thing can be so psyco-somatic! Hope it stays out of your house...

We had our first lice notice home about a month ago-- so, you know, two weeks into the school year. I freaked the fuck out. I hate lice. I hate elementary school because of lice. I made Julia wear tight pigtails every day for three weeks.

As far as I know, we're all clear. But Jack, our indoor cat in a house with hardwood floors, has fleas. ARGH.

I cut Punk's hair and it's too short for pigtails. Argh! But I have heard that tea tree oil repels lice? I might try it.

Ugh! I get itchy and paranoid thinking about it too. As soon as JK started, I've taken every opportunity to remind Duncan that "it's good to share with friends, but WE NEVER SHARE HATS."

I need to instill that rule for sure!

Jude, I hear ya! I volunteered in Zach and Izzy's class on a Wednesday then on Friday (their next day at school) we learned that one of the students there on Wednesday in her class had lice. Wheee. I itched and checked the kids heads like 500 times a day for like two weeks after. Thankfully that appears to be the end of it, for now.

I managed to escape lice as a child. I was however kept home from school for a few days in second grade because the teacher mistook my dandruff for lice.

I never had lice as a child.

I got it at age 18 from a babysitting job. It was AWFUL. Awful.

I don't want to contemplate the prospect of a lice infestation in a home with five middle aged to elderly rabbits.
