OK. So it has been a week and we have seen no bugs and we have done a total of 2 treatments. But I decided to keep us from church, gymnastics, and everything else until it has been at least a week with no signs and the official ok from the health dept.
I would have gone in yesterday... except they had off for confederate memorial day.
Could someone please explain this holiday to me? It is not a national holiday. The mail ran and the bank was open. But the health department closed. Who else was closed for this random memorial day? Who exactly is being memorialized? Not to sound unappreciative of anyone, but isn't that why we have Memorial Day in May? Someone please clue me in.
So anyway- today, we loaded up and went in to have our heads checked. GBK and I, that is. The husband shaved his head completely. So I guess he feels safe. I will have to scan a "before" photo of him and post it so you can see how much hair he lost.
When we got there, I quietly said to the receptionist "We want to get our hair checked". Of course I have to repeat myself 3 times for her to hear me! If I ran the health dept, I would have a little sign on the counter and just ask the patients to point to the specific problem on the sheet explaining the type of visit they are there for. I mean really, I didn't need to know that those teenage girls were there for condoms or a pregnancy test... didn't need to know that the weird couple was there for blood tests before they got married. I didn't need to know because I was having more fun making up my own reasons in my head.
Ok- so that last paragraph was a huge exaggeration ... but what if it were that way!? I am always paranoid that the other people in there will criticize me for the reason of my visit. How
idiotic (Debi, I put that in there for Little Man in case he was reading this)! I am so weird at times.
So back to my visit- a rather large woman walked in- probably 582 lbs. That is just a rough estimate. GBK says- look Mama, she has a big belly. She has a biiiiiiiig baby in hers belly. I was mortified. She was not pregnant. At least I don't think she was. I hope she wasn't. But she did have two little boys with her- twins I think. They were probably 3 or so...
get this y'all-
Jamel and Jamal. I just don't know about that. How confusing would that be? Say their names 5 times real fast.
Hmm- hmm. Now say it 10 times real fast without laughing.
OK. That is how I felt sitting there for 62 minutes with her repeating their names 82 times a minute over and over real fast. And I had to sit there without laughing.
Which I was a little distracted by the GBK so it helped me not to laugh. Her latest thing? She asks permission to touch my boobs. Like she is asking permission to play outside or eat a piece of candy. "Please push your boobs mama?" Only she doesn't wait for me to say no- she just does it.
I am not sure who is more obsessed with boobs RD, GBK or the girls at a local BUNCO group!!! Hahahahahahaha
You know who you are.

I am in a weird mood today. Sam and I think it is directly linked to the moon.
I am a combination of nauseuas, depressed, bored, overstimulated, self-conscious and delirious. And no, it is not PMS.

Maybe you are in the same condition as Sam.
And no, I am not pregnant.
Confederate Memorial Day is a State Only holidy and it is set aside so we can remember the strife and pain caused in the great war.
And I could have checked your head for lice and you wouldn't have had to sit in the health department for so long.
I do that in the nude - so call me next time.
BHAWWW at keith kennedy! And Wes, oh the beautiful curls he sacrificed. He did it all for lice.
Oh my goodness. You are so funny with the posting ALL THE TIME NOW!
And yes, I think Confederate Memorial Day is really for the rednecks. It is an excuse to drink beer and shoot at things with guns. Not really something to be proud of. However, we could redeem the holiday by watching "Gone With the Wind" and boohooing. Maybe next year.
