activebaby, DD1 has her 100th day on Friday (well really 99th because of an unexpected day off last week, but that's still when they are doing the party). We have to make a "float" with 100 things in it and a 100th day tshirt. We're doing little jewels for the shirt and she is thinking of making something out of legos to go on the float, but she wanted it really decorated and has already begged me to make 100 stars on the float too. I understand the importance of them learning to count to 100, but please can I just have 1 project at a time? We did a 100 item poster counted in groups (10 Groups of 10). Then the dress up. We did the poster last weekend so it would dry. Then h wasn’t paying attention that it was by the door and threw it on the floor (it was in a bag). Luckily it stayed intact but I was ready to be mad if we had to redo it.

Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash this morning. His 13 year old was with him as were the pilot and 2 other passengers I just watched this on our news. So sad - every helicopter crash is hard to hear for us because it's DH commute. To even think about my kids being in a helicopter is terrifying for me.

I’m pretty sure I have lice. My head has been itching like crazy for two weeks (since the girls had lice). DH checked me twice and says I don’t , but it itches so bad , I don’t trust that he can see them with his terrible eyes! A few weeks ago DD1 stayed over at a friends. I collected her and the house was a horror show. Smelly, greasy, filthy and full of junk and people (generations seemed to live there together in a tiny house) When I arrived, DD1 looked gaunt and traumatised - she would never have seen anything like it (thank god). Anyway - turns out she brought lice and scabies home with her. Thankfully, DD1 is an angsty teen and doesn't go near the little kids. But I have lice and scabies and so does DH. I treated the entire family to be safe. I've had scabies before from when DS first started nursery and the itching takes weeks to subside. I'm a pro at lice from my time in the police - you have my 100% sympathy.

I hear the number of passengers is more than initially released. So tragic.

Including his 13yo daughter and another 13yo girl with both her parents 😢

I still can neither confirm nor til out that I have lice. I tried to check myself and found 3 things that could definitely be nits , but it was Only 3 across the entire Front of my head. And I ran a lice comb through my hair and found 5 little brown things that could possibly be bugs, but also didn’t seem alive and didn’t really look like the lice I pulled off DD. So still inconclusive. I’m going to call my pcp to ask if they can check me. I’m still so itchy

A keeps telling me her school BFF lives down the street and asks if we can go to her house. I keep telling her she has to be invited because I don't know which street she lives down. We were outside riding bikes today and found out she actually lives on our street, just a few houses down. A said "yea, I already told you that." 😏

Then pull the nit comb (the metal one with spiky tight packed teeth) through all my hair really rigorously. It helps the eggs slide off and I think also soothes the itching. If you had eggs laid by your DDs lice and they hatched recently, they would be so teeny tiny that you might not be able to see them?

I invited them over for a play date (this coming weekend). The mom told me that her daughter had asked twice this past week if she could spend the night at my house. I told her I wasn’t surprised because her daughter had asked me multiple times this week and had asked to play soccer so I had said yes. I probably shouldn’t have told her yes (instead should have told her to ask her mom) but I’m friends with the mom so hopefully it wasn’t as creepy as it could have been. Ds2 and this little girl are so cute together.

Try catholic schools week... it’s like 3 things every day this week and I can’t even remember to take my keys out of the car (locked them in last week.) If he shows up in the right uniform for the day, we’re doing good. This shit is too much on the parents. They need to keep the celebration in the classroom.

Please tell me I'm making the right decision with the ear peircing? My girls have both had their ears pierced since they were two months old. We have figured out they can't wear the cheap fake earrings, but no issues otherwise.

Yeah I'm of the mind that if they don't get them done as infants ( when u have total control) it's then best to wait until they are old enough to be into cleaning and caring for new piercing properly. I was 7 when I got mine done but DD is very good about brushing, flossing, getting her hair taken care of etc. so I'm thinking she is ready.

Freaking beach day in January! Food pantry, special donation, I’m sure there’s more... Yup. And it’s not easy to send all this stuff with a kinder student on the bus. One day he had to bring a huge jug of apple juice in his backpack. I thought he was gonna fall over. I guess I could have dropped it off separately for him but who has time for that.

They have dress up days all week, as well as special thank yous (today was bus drivers), and daily donation requests (today was socks). And yes, what is with Beach Day in January? It's only going to be 20 degrees that day. Next week we will be on vacation, so whatever the 100th day celebration will be, H will miss it.

The heat company finally showed up. I'm sitting in my room trying not to be passive aggressive. I don't understand how you can run a business and not show up after you've taken a deposit. Hopefully this will be the last we have to deal with him.
On the bright side, we leave for Florida on Saturday. My parents and younger brother/SIL are coming. This brother doesn't have kids, but he loves ours, so it will be fun and hopefully helpful. My parents are not the most help, but we are staying in a suite this time, so maybe we can sneak away for a date night.

I would also ask for a discount for their “late start” when you get the bill.

We've also been asked for food donations so they can make a snack with 100 pieces in it at school. That at least I don't have to help count it out.

Please tell me I'm making the right decision with the ear peircing? It's totally fine whenever she wants it. I think I got mine done at 9. DD1 hasn't asked yet so hopefully we can push it off a few more years.
