I'm working on homework for my class. Crazy botanical biology, way over my head, but important to knowing plants. I can see how it would help to understand the deepest depths of a plant, biologically speaking, for a super lush and healthy garden. Still, I'm like a blank stare in headlights, poking my finger with the pin that I tried to pick a sliver out with, trying to stay awake as I read.
Anyways, because they're on my mind (literally), I thought I would jot down 10 things I've learned about or as a result of lice. Ready.
1) Insecticidal shampoo does nothing to kill them. They're resistant, apparently. Thus I wasted $24 and am going to go back to the drugstore to complain.
2) The fine-toothed metal 'nit picker' combs work awesome. (And, in combing, I realized where the saying 'went over with a fine-toothed comb' and 'nit pick' came from.)
3)I get monkeys all the more now.
4)I hate them (lice not monkeys) but am secretly fascinated by them.
5)You will never do more laundry than when you have lice in the house. (I wanted to say a louse in the house but there are more than one. Drats!)
5b) To add to that, I've done 12 loads of laundry in 3 days. Changing the sheets out every morn, and towels after bath. All clothes are worn once and immediately upon removal go to the basement. Fun!
6)All conversations I've had since the discovery of the lice revolve around lice. I seem to be a bit of a complainer.
7)My dog doesn't have them. Are lice a human blood thing?
8)My inlaws are awesome, braving the lice to help me and us in our time of need.
9)I can't imagine being a single mother having to parent AND deal with lice all at the same time. Holy stress!
Oh wait, I am!
10) Laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation feels better than crying at it. I'll remember that for the next situation...And there WILL be a next one.
Anyways.
Back to homework.
