Where's the Bottle Holder?

 

A woman who wears 4" heels is psychologically incapable of zooming about on a highly functional, yet dorky looking product.  This has to be photo-shopped.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner...and Breakfast, and Lunch

 

Hey!  Guess what my kids brought home from school!  Isn't he great?  Nothing like treating five people (yes, to include me) for head lice for a week. 

We're striking back with a multi-layer attack using over-the-counter products in combination with home remedies gleaned from strangers on the internet that I selected because I can also do them to myself.  I have also combed through my children's hair for hours on end with a tiny-tined comb designed primarily to remove hair from one's head -- can't have lice if you don't have hair theory.  But since nits can only be seen through an electron microscope, I don't hold much hope for the nit-picking method.  

The home remedies I'm trying are a bit unorthodox.  First, I went out and bought the most powerful hair blower on the market -- the most expensive, also.  Thus armed, I blasted the hell out of each of our heads for 30 minutes on the theory, found in a paper on the internet, that hot moving air dessicates the nits.

Then, on the theory that high temperatures kill lice on brushes, it was into the saunas for all of us for 15-20 minutes at a time.  Cries of not being able to breath because of the heat went unheeded.  This is war and I'm tired of doing laundry so shut up and sit still until mommy tells you time's up.

Will this work?  Or will I become that lady who secretly pours kerosene over her children's heads in a desperate attempt to finally end the nightmare?  We'll see.
