Debugging the House

So Anna comes home yesterday from the doctor and it turns out she has a real, real, real bad case of hair lice. Yuck! We really do clean our house. We have no idea where she got it from. She's evidently had it for a while because the lice weren't just baby lice but adult lice with college degrees.

So, under doctor's orders, we spent all of last night and a chunk of the morning de-licing the house. This involved washing everything that Anna came into contact with, using a special spray to disinfect the mattresses, and vacuuming the whole house. We even ripped up the carpet in our bedroom, which were going to do anyway, but this gave us a good reason to. We finally laid down for a short nap at about 3:00 a.m. Dorene got up to go to work at normal time. I stayed home with Anna until 11:00 a.m., when Dorene's mom showed up.

I would just as soon not have to go through this again.
