Oh what an evening!
I always hate when this happens because I always feel dirty, but I am confident we are not. Nicki ended up with lice. I feel EXTREMELY confident it came from the girls down the street. She WAS playing with these girls down the street, the ones whose mom asked me to babysit and I don’t think they are the cleanest.
They live a couple houses away and since we have moved in just over 2 weeks ago, there has been the same garbage PILE sitting on their porch. They have an ass load of cats, not that they carry lice but still.
So I saw some bugs in her hair last night an my first thought was “oh shit lice”. It wasn’t until i got in there washing and combing her hair that I realized just how bad it was.
We had this problem when I lived in Tampa. It seemed to take about a month to get rid of it. I would clean up her hair and send her to school and she would end up with it again.
So last night I had Tony pull all of the blankets and pillows from her room and the living room. I scrubbed her hair with RID lice shampoo and then spent about an hour combing through her hair. The problem is she is susceptible to getting it because she washes her hair daily and lice like clean hair.
After I combed through her hair, which was nasty, I put some gel in her hair and put it in a braid. I am trying to keep her head under control. I don’t wash my hair often and I usually have been keeping gel or mousse in my hair so I think I am safe and didn’t get it but I washed my hair with the shampoo as well. Last time Nicki had it, I didn’t get it so I have my fingers crossed.
I just feel so bad for her, she felt bad for making me have to do all that to her hair, spend all that time and money. For the stuff last night I spent $40 and we have to wash again in 7-10 days. I just really hope we took care of it last night.
