P.S.

As much as I feel overwhelmed by my kids constantly being sick lately (see below post) I am grateful that is all that it has been. See about 3 weeks ago when Kennedy went to school I received a note that lice had been found in her classroom and to beware of it...

I have an extreme phobia of lice...EXTREME!! When I was in elementary school there was a little girl who, I got lice from at least 5 times...probably more. I remember her name, what she looked like, smelt like, everything. This little girl had no friends and I remember seeing her and her family at the dump going through things when we would make a dump run when we lived in Readyville. I felt really sorry for her, bless her heart. I really struggled with being her friend because lots of other kids made fun of her. One day my Mom talked with me about it and asked me what Jesus would do. I am sure she said more in that conversation but that is all that I really remember. I really do not remember anything that April and I did together other than eating lunch together but I remember getting lice all the time. One time, I think my Mom was tired of me getting lice, she called her mom and asked her what to do. She told her to wash my hair in kerosene. Well, Mom did and then blow dried my hair. I turned into a smoke bomb! I can not handle telling about all my lice experiences because I am already itching like crazy as I type this...I just wanted to get across that I have reasons for how terrified I am by this. Back to the note I received from Kennedy's teacher.

I screamed when I saw it in her folder. Kennedy asked what was wrong. I told her nothing and I ran to my room and called Matthew in tears and freaked out. He was laughing at me! I told him he better be quiet because I was seriously freaked out more than I could express. He was nice after that and ready to help in anyway he could. (probably, including, placing me in the care of a physiologist) I called my mom and told her she was going to have to come to Memphis if we got lice, I could not handle it... I then had to call my sisters and express to them too how freaked out I was. (all over a stupid note, I know!) So, believe me I would rather deal with all of this sickness, puke diarrhea and all than LICE!! To bad we can't just put frontline on our kids and send them to school to be lice free during lice season. Okay, I am starting to feel sick to me stomach with all of this talk.
