• When that head lice note comes home from school

    school lice note

    Just when you think things are running smoothly, then – BAM – you receive that head lice note from school. Which reads like this “please note that we have a suspected lice outbreak at school and so we would like to suggest that you check your child’s hair and treat if necessary.”  Instead of being calm and handling the situation like an adult should; all hell breaks loose.

    Look I’m not oblivious to the fact that kids bring bugs home when they attend school.  I can handle it but what I can’t handle is the idea of lice crawling on my child’s head. Like seriously, the thought of it makes me squirm and itch. Touch wood; my kids have never had lice but I freak out and transform into a germaphobe when I receive these notes from school. View Post
