Hella oh noes.
The joys of working in a shelter. I've worked in shelter that have had outbreaks before, and with kids at school, but I've never caught 'em. Now apparently, they are gamboling merrily all through my hair.
DIE LICE DIE
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah, well, I am all washed, but I think I'm going to have to take my wet head and my nit comb back to work, because I simply can't do the back of my head myself.

Ok, all! Me and my wet head are going out in 30 degree weather to stop by Walgreen's to get LICE SPRAY and head back to work to be combed out like a gibbon.
Good times! And tonight will be magical do all my laundry and spray the whole louse with delouser. Why can't it come in a relaxing lavender scent?!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
spray the whole louse

Poor, lousy Erin!
The shorter bob you just got will help, since shoulder length hair often transmits it to clothes and then picks eggs back up again.
Emmett's had lice twice in his li'l kid days. It's not uncommon out here because of the sandy soil.

I'm picturing a bunch of toddlers with their heads in the sand, like ostriches. That's probably not the connection, though.

No but it's a good image! Maybe I've got it wrong. I know sandy soil is conducive to fleas, but I think it's also indicated for lice. Anyway, most of the parents I know in the Bay Area have had to deal with it at least once with their kids. I mean, we don't have a lot of bugs out here. Practically no roaches. But lice we got.
