Ready for May

This month was one of much working, a break and firsts.
Two weeks ago we had our first bout of lice. Laying in the hammock reading to Ella and she scratched her head a bit more vigorously than usual. I took a peek and there it was her traveling pet upon her head. A lice.
To say the least i got immediately itchy. We popped out of the hammock and I found Sam to check his head - affirmative. I texted Donn the news, grabbed garbage bags and started loading up all our bedding and recent clothing. Off to Mr. Staduim Laundry mat we went. While cleaning the clothes I took to treating the kids. Spray, nit combs and later that night Cetaphil facial cleanser, a trick passed on from some other moms.
Even before we left for Mr. Staduim, Donn was home to shave his hair off and go back to work. I found this funny. Lucking I have very little hair to worry about. It could not be better timing for me.
Four hours later we got home got fed and I was off to work tired from the days labors.

One week and two days later Ella wakes up with SPOTS! Chicken pox. Later that day Sam is spotty. So here we are on day three of quarantine. *sigh*

I am ready for May.
