I Knew This Day Was Coming

I've learned to dread the school newsletter. If they aren't announcing some new fundraiser that is going to cost me a fortune, they are sharing news of some illness that is being passed around. Usually there's a description of the symptoms that the sick children are displaying and a reminder that sick children are to be kept at home.

I've actually become somewhat indifferent to the notices because Jax (thankfully) has a decent immune system and manages to avoid contamination. (I just knocked on some wood, by the way.) This week, however, I got the newsletter I've been dreading. Moms, you know the one I'm talking about...head lice! No, not my kid, but someone in his class has head lice, and now, we're all to be on alert. Great! Just what we all need!
