Creepy Crawlies

Life has been a challenge, with twists and turns bringing another headache, backache or just plain more work and or stress. Today we were about ready to go home from church when they were doing a spot check on all the young woman for lice, before going to girls camp this week.
No problem! We haven't seen it since Bookworm was in kindergarten and Roadrunner was a tiny baby. I felt like a terrible mother then and checked obsessively for a very long time.

Well, apparently we caught this early as there are only a couple and the sister's and brother come up clean. (See Bookworm just stayed the night at a friends house a couple of days ago and then she later told us that her aunt had had it).

So now we do the mad dash while we try and pack and clean for vacation at the same time!

Our plans altered against the clock, to do lists and a large laundry list (in some cases literally) of things to get done. Oh well, My cousin is fighting mosquitos and winning, I get to fight another bug. I hope to beat this before it spreads.

While I must immediately resort to traditional chemical treatments for my dear daughter with sensitive skin, I would be happy for effective but more natural treatments for the follow-up in a week.

Pray for me and my family and send me those suggestions.
