Well, our Christmas was filled with lots of time at home this year. We did have our annual family get-togethers but we pretty much hung out at home as much as possible. You see, this year, we were attacked by a lovely little gift...a gift that did not want to go away. With a pretty bad epidemic at the neighboring schools of lice, my long haired daughter was graced with the gift. And, she gifted the rest of us before we knew what had hit us!
Let us just say that I was NOT expecting this to be our Christmas holiday's big gift!!! I was devastated. I admit it. I was totally overwhelmed by four heads having the creepy crawlers (you are itching right now, aren't you?). Instead of wrapping gifts, I stripped beds. Instead of baking, I vacuumed couches and carseats. My sweet hubby had to finally have a little talk with me about not letting the little beasts steal my joy this holiday. I was tired, sad, and mad, and overwhelmed with the process. But, it was Christmas. We were celebrating our Jesus's birthday. So, I had to have a little cry (or several) and get my attitude in check. As tremendous of a job as defeating the bugs was, we were all well and together and blessed to be enjoying Christmas together.
Well, after three weeks of treatment, daily laundering of sheets/coats/clothes/towels, and checking all four heads - every day....we won. We lost a few holiday parties and lots of hours of sleep. But, we won! And, I would never ever wish the little demons on anyone else!!! Yuk!!! I have now named them "the devil's minions"....yes, they are evil creatures, just plain evil. But, hey, my house is sure clean and so are our heads - finally!
