My daughter is not real pleased with me today.  A couple of days ago she got a note sent home from school telling all parents that someone in her class has head lice.  So we needed to check the kids heads and make sure that they don’t have it and if they do, do the treatment and report it back to the school.  Thankfully after checking her over, she does  not have it.  But, she has seriously long and thick hair.  I shudder at the thoughts of if she did have it.

The school gave us a suggestion that if the child has long hair (which she does) to make sure it’s pulled back and in a pony tail.  Well I can’t tell you how much she hates wearing a pony tail.  But I insisted!  There is no way I want her getting head lice if I can possibly prevent it.  So off to school she went in a pony tail and let me tell you, she was annoyed.  But I’d rather her be annoyed with me than have to go through the unwelcoming process of trying to get rid of lice in HER hair.
