Isn't life good? Debs and I will take a ride up in the mountains. I wanna show here the place where ET and I froze our butts off one night.....nice day for a ride....

We only got a few showers here, CG and GNM.
Thank god its friday. This has been a totally sucky week.

I found out last night the in laws are going to be up next weekend, looking at another house to possibly buy. HPM's going to be in Linville, and I'd already planned a little trip for Laurel and I. Oh darn, we'll miss them... :D

The whole house has been treated and/or bombed, thanks to the whole louse thing Laurel brought home from school. The cats are getting dipped today. I had an allergic reaction to the special shampoo, and have a nice rash, and severe itching all over. Piperonyl butoxide doesn't mess around.

On no! I bet it was a real treat to use the special comb on all that gorgeous long curly hair. ACK! Did you have to tie the poor child down?!

No, but 2 hours of sobs certainly wasn't fun. I get to repeat all of that again in 10, given the potential hatching cycle of any leftover nits around the house.

I found the permethrin spray to be rather amusing, until I had to smell it. I'd rather catch a whiff of Raid. ALl of her stuffed animals got misted. Several of our sleeping bags are now sealed in garbage bags, aging for a month, so to speak.

I do have to say I love the steam cycle on the washing machine. Set it for heavy steam, 20 minutes, and voila, cooked critters of any sort.

I think many parents don't actually comb their kiddies hair, much less notice if they're scratching extra. =(

I'm so sorry Treebait, two hours of sniffling sobs would just tear me up! My heart goes out to you guys. I really hope you got them all the first time.

Hence the expression "loused up".

That brings to mind the War with the Fleas that jumped on the Ferret that time..... 1) kill 'em all   2) more hatch later   3) return to step 1.

Afternoon all. Laurel woke us up at 6:30, asking why weren't we up yet since her alarm had already gone off? Excuse me, but this is the little monster who won't wake up in the mornings until after I've shoehorned her into her clothes and forcefed her breakfast. What the hell is she doing up on time no less on a Saturday?

I've been digging out in the mud. I'm closer to done than I thought I was. :) Soon, my dear fish, the pond will be ready...those poor things have been confined to 270 gal. for so long they won't know what to do with themselves in about 5000k of water.

Good morning, it'll feel good to relax today after doing an 18 mile day hike yesterday on the Thunderswamp trail with Jmitch. The weather was nice for hiking and without snow on the ground we were able to cover a lot of ground. 2 to 4 inches of snow are forecast for tonight.

Dang, today isn't over yet. It's been something. My left leg is killing me, because I used it to do all of my digging in the mud yesterday, then to kick reshaped/ repositioned clay into shape and to the correct density. I think that was the roughest. Testing out ellipticals this afternoon was agony.

Today is turning out to be 'official' parenting day. Had a teachers conference at 7:30 then Football banquet at 7 tonight. I am trying not to have a big head but it feels so good to hear a teacher tell you that you have done a good job. I need to remember that when I'm about to kill him! LOL
