POOR youngest DD just called. She's a new special ed teacher and wanted to know the signs and symptoms for head lice, which are rampant in her elementary school!
Ahhhh... (NOT SO) fond memories. I told her how to spot 'em or the nits... and if she does find them to call me when she's on her way to the drug store for the hair treatment... cause there's more to do than JUST treating your head. Ya gotta treat your bedding... even using a spray for things like your couch and the head rest in your car, not to mention your clothes!
I remember middle DD having them once... she was so embarrassed that I had to call the school and I told her, "On the contrary!! You should go to school and ask who the heck gave them to YOU??" I treated the whole house! The combs in the kits were pretty useless and I spent WEEKS w/ her head in my lap pulling nits w/ my thumb nail and finger from her waist-length hair!
Youngest DD's had a really tough first year... it's nothing like she expected (she has a Masters in special/elem. ed) ... little/no support from higher-ups... physically abusive students who have no business in a public school setting... she's actually rethinking her whole career! She's been sick all year w/ colds, which is common for a new teacher... and she's about to LOSE it w/ the idea that she has to spend all day in school today itching and feeling skeeved!!
