So we've spent the last week, diligently checking (and re-checking) hair at the Lilley household...and so far, we seem to be bug free...which is good, because the sheer amount of extra work that went into getting rid of this plague boggles the mind...
Well, my mind anyway...
As usual, there is always something else going on around here...and in this case, it's Emma...who has developed an ear infection...well, not quite an ear infection, but an infection in the hole where her earring goes...her response to this news?
"Why do bad things always happen to me?" (Add appropriate loud wailing and gnashing of teeth)...
On the upside, that kid heals faster than anyone I've ever met...within two days, the swelling, redness and pus has disappeared and her ear looks completely normal...
She is currently singing (in her deep, husky voice - which I love, by the way...very Kim Carnes circa 1981) along to Selena Gomez...who is not my favourite chanteuse-du-jour, but I can't fault the song Em's listening to...the chorus says, "Who says you're not perfect? Who says you're not beautiful?"...not a bad message in this day and age...
And then there is Jamie, who is currently on the deck in the back yard practising his "spit takes"...why?
Because he can, I suppose...
Avery, the so-called quietest of the bunch, spent several minutes screaming at her sister for playing music while Avery was trying to do her math homework...and then disappeared in a huff to the dining room, where she is now trying to finish her multiplication questions...
And Ian is wrapped up in his computer game ...
So essentially, life has returned to normal around here...
There comes a moment in life where things are not going well for you and you have this feeling that every time bad things happen to you only but then we realize it was temporary. Glad that you got rid of plague, thanks for sharing details with us.
