Aww Karmen, you deserve a top ten for sure!! You have had a challenging week for sure but living it with humor and grace. I hope your new refrigerator fits in your space because I don't think your temporary one will hold all the saucy-ness your family requires : ) Praying this week is a better one for you friend.
ReplyDeleteUgh, sounds like you have had one heckuva week! Hope it gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteWOW! what a week! I am telling you if the damned L word comes back again, save yourself some money, buy a jar of eucerin lotion, slather their pretty little heads with it, and yours and sleep with it in overnight in a shower cap. It will harden killing them off. Then wash wash wash it all out. One week later repeat. After doing that I have never (knock on wood!) had to deal with those nasties again! You don't even have to pick just brush. *hoping hoping hoping you will never need to think about using this advice! * Did you ask if the lice clinic has a money back guarantee? I hope that this week is much calmer and relaxing for you! MUCH!
