Unlikely visitors....

There are a lot of things I could write about from last Sunday....how we took a cab to church and heard the most angelic version of the primary song, If the Savior Stood Beside Me, or how the sun finally made an appearance and the weather was perfect but unfortunately, the day was marred but some unlikely and highly unwanted visitors. The beach house has recently been tented for termites. A few days ago, I thought I found one in the kitchen. "Inconcievable!" was what I heard. Well, outside the church, while waiting for our cab, Jay reached over and pulled a bug from on top of Andrea's head. He looked at it and said, "termite." I said, "Wait a minute..... Let me see that bug." Sure enough, it wasn't a termite but a louse. I quickly went through her head and didn't see anything else in there so I thought we dodged a bullet. However, after a quick peek at Maggie's head -all I could say was, "Houston, we have a problem." I'm not a lice expert and so I couldn't make an accurate guesstimate on timeline and population but let's just say her head looked liked times square on New Year's Eve. There was a party going on!!! The rest of the day was dedicated to the eradication of lice and their nits. I refuse to drench my children in toxic pesticide so I found a product called licefree which is a nontoxic, homeopathic remedy. We treated heads and picked nits, washed sheets, clothing, towels. Fun, right? Ok. Not really. But, it wasn't terrible. Many hands make light work. And I've become pretty good at spotting and picking out nits so, I'm thinking if Jay's current job doesn't work out, I may be able to support the family with my new found talent. I'm thinking people would pay big bucks for my services!!!
