Ewwwwwwwwwww. There was an outbreak of head lice at Jacob's daycare. 4 children were sent home. Thankfully the little critters spared my son. There is nothing that gives me the heebie jeebies more than head lice. Just thinking about them makes me feel all weird. I don't know why I'm such a wimp because at work I've seen it all: maggots feasting on wounds, cockroaches in the most inappropriate of places, body lice, boils and carbuncles the size of a child's fist, mummified skin that looks like leather....... I think I'm not horrified because I see that stuff on other people. But the thought of nasty little biting creatures living in my son's beautiful head of hair totally freaks me out.
I know mosquitoes love my little boy. Hopefully those head lice don't and stay far far away.
About Me
- firemama
- I am a professional firefighter in a busy metropolitan city who somehow made it to Acting Captain along the way. I am a mother and doing the best I can to balance these two very different worlds. I am a lover of red meat (cooked medium rare) and live in a funky loft with my 2 very loud and loveable kids. We manage to all get along despite the fact we only have one bathroom and zero privacy. I am a demon if I don't get in a daily workout or get out for some fresh air. I am a neat freak. My kids, of course, are not. I prefer shooting with my 35mm Nikon to any fancy digital camera out there.... only because I am hopelessly analog. My favourite sound in the world is hearing my children laugh. My second favourite sound in the world is silence. This is my blog on what it's like to be a chick in a man's world, a mother in these crazy times, and a woman who perhaps foolishly thinks she has found the meaning of life.
