EEEK!!!!

AAAAHHHH! Yes, that's me shrieking. I retrieved the dreaded note from Emi's backpack yesterday after school. It's the yucky note that begins, "There have been a few cases of head lice found in your child's classroom...." Ooh, my scalp feels itchy and tingly just typing these words! So if the worst-case scenario materializes (or evolves or whatever it is little lice do) I'll be giving my friend Miss L a call. It's good to have a kindred spirit.

I'm here when you need me! I'm happy to report that we've been "frenemy" free for weeks now, but I have been out helping two other families with lice within the past two weeks. Never thought Lice Huntress would be one of my hidden talents.

fyi: You'll want to check hair above/behind Emi's ears and around her neck and see if there are nits--they're easier to spot than the actual lice which can move pretty fast through the hair. Call me if you have questions! :)
