I'm having a really crappy day...  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So on top of being miserable with the typical 39 week pg stuff~ you know, the aching back/hips/pelvis, constant crampiness and braxton-hicks, I also can't sleep. I was wide awake until 4:00 this AM, and on one of my many trips to the bathroom I noticed a big clump of my oldest (17) DS's hair in the bathroom garbage that he had pulled out from his hairbrush earlier that night after his shower.
And guess what- there was something crawling on it. After a google search, I determined it was lice. EWW EWW EWW!!!!!!!!
And he has beautiful long, thick, curly hair past his shoulders- (think Slash from Guns n Roses) This is NOT going to be fun. I've spent the better part of the day washing his bedding and picking through his hair. I have no idea if anyone else in the house got it because no one else is home yet, and I swear to some deity I will shoot myself if they do. All I want to do right now is curl up in a little ball and cry. :

Oh, so sorry hon! I hope there are some mamas of older kids here who have BTDT and can reassure you. We've never dealt with lice and I have to say it is one of my biggest parenting fears... any kind of parasitical or buggy creature... ick. Good luck!

Bummer, man! I'm feeling the same way as you at 39.5 weeks! Awake at all hours, etc. I hope you can get rid of the lice, what a drag.
