Plagues

If you have read Kristy's blog then you know the crazy week we have had. It all started with a lousy headache that arrived on Thanksgiving Day. I wasn't going to let it ruin Thanksgiving for me so I put on a smile and headed down to Shelley and Jim's house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a yummy dinner and it was nice to visit with all the family. This lousy headache persisted for 5 more days. As that was going on we had a case of lice hit with Maxx. When the Lopez's came up for Thanksgiving, Kristy had said he was itching his head alot. I checked out his hair and I didn't see anything. I figured he is 7 and shampooing his own hair and not rinsing out the shampoo well enough. Well That wasn't it!!! Saturday as we were getting ready to go up to Salt Lake City for Rachel and Jake's wedding reception they hatched. Now being a Hairstylist this is my worse NIGHTMARE! After shampooing, combing with the gel and shampooing again I could still see them. Needless to say Maxx is now sporting a shaved head. As I was shaving his head, outside, we was looking down at the hair coming off and telling Abby to come check out the bugs in his hair. He thought it was kinda cool. That's a seven year old. Poor Rachel..... I was suppose to do her hair for her reception but when she heard about the lice she said she could do it herself that she liked her long hair and wanted to keep it. I don't blame her. After the reception we went over to Temple Square to see the lights. We got a late start and so as we work are way around to the old tabernacle the lights went out. We were looking at the lights on main street, enjoying them. After a potty break we came back out and they were out too. So much for a long enjoyment. Sunday morning mom had noticed her wedding ring was missing. She had looked all over and worried that she had lost it up at temple square. Luckily it came off in her glove and fallen out in my car. What luck! We spent all of Sunday and most of Monday sanitizing the whole house and everyones hair. Thinking that things couldn't get worse..... Tuesday morning when the Lopez's were getting ready to leave, Juan saw a mouse run into our pantry. YUCK! So I spent Tuesday morning cleaning out the pantry with clorex wipes. I put our some decon but they still are invading us. Monday a pest control guy will come out and hopefully get rid of them. WE are clean people I promise! Oh I forgot to tell you that Sunday was mom's 81's birthday and she woke up sick with a cold. Thursday I got the stomach flu and now it is Friday and mom still has her cold and now my stomach flu. This was a plague of a Thanksgiving! I'm not sure what we are suppose to be thankful for this year! Sorry I didn't take any pictures.... dealing with it all and a headache I spaced taking pictures. Or maybe it was I didn't want to remember it!! I hope you all had a plague free Thanksgiving!

I told Kristy that I think the secret to staying plague free was putting salt on your pie like Lukas. So far we haven't caught anything at our house.
