also, anything i could do to keep my 9yo ds from having to go through the ordeal of "having bugs on me" again was well worth it. this is a child that flips out at the sight of a fly or mosquito, and oh, heaven help us if there is a spider. he did not deal well with finding out that there were bugs crawling in his hair. it took him days to stop shaking. i wish i was kidding.

and, besides that, it's just plain itchy and creepy feeling. not to mention the fact that by the time i was done combing out my long, thick hair for 4 days straight, i could barely lift my arms that high anymore.

Oh yes. My arms and back ache so bad from picking through the 3 year olds hair. Holding myself at odd angles when she got tired of sitting. Then checking my older daughter who's hair is much thicker than the little ones hair. It definitely isn't something I want to do often!
Thankfully I didn't HAVE to do my own hair. My dh did check it for me. But...because I didn't fully trust his eye sight I did use the comb on myself a few times and found nothing. So that made me feel better. LOL!
But my hair is short and very fine and thin. So that made it easier.

Have you done anything with your car?

The first day my dh brought the car seat in and I used the sweeper nozzle and swept it really good. But that's it.
I may not have done that if I had read all the other stuff I found first.
But it honestly needed a good sweeping!
