So Grossed Out...
Last week I noticed the boys playing with their friends, switching bikes, switching helmets, etc. I said to myself, "I know they shouldn't share helmets, should I say something?" I squelched my OCD desire to yell out to all the neighborhood and say "KIDS, WEAR ONLY YOUR OWN HELMETS! YOU COULD CATCH SOMETHING" (I am a little like that old lady on Saturday Night Live...) I said nothing and I felt a little proud that I am not a nutjob after all.
Our family then decides to go on a very nice bike hike Sat. & Sun. together. We had a ton of fun. Kenton & I were bantering back and forth about "making" the boys wear helmets. K- "Don't make them. I never had to wear one & I turned out okay..." G-"why is it such a bad habit to get into?" Anyway, the mother bear enforced and made them wear their helmets.
We get home & the boys go over to see if the neighborhood can play. Oh no, they can't play, because they are getting their heads shaved for EXTREME HEAD LICE! (yes, after just borrowing our helmets) For those of you who know me, this does not sit well with me. at all. I am having dreams of headlice infestation. Help. Now, why did I make them wear their helmets??? Ayyyy, pray for me the next week!

OH NO!
I will pray! I would be totally grossed out too. (but you are a still good momma bear for making them wear their helmets)!
Ewwww yucky........I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Oh MAN - that is so frustrating - I would be the same way though - we'll hope they disappear quickly!!!
Don't worry, the little critters probably couldn't jump with a helmet on? Hoping you don't need to find the NIX treatmet, fingers crossed.
yikes !!! i don't think it is OCD, and I am with ya all the way.. I will pray for ya... We have the FlowBe hair cutting system here if ya need it...
Oh Gretchen, I will keep you in my prayers. For about 2 years we went through Greg's daughter from his first marriage always coming over with lice. You could tell from their growth that they had not been treating it at home. Of course I was the one treating it at our house because Greg didn't know what to do. I hate it.
