Bugged

I'm thinking over our past week

and what it did entail.

I have memories of a parasite,

and the plans it did derail.  

I found these tiny bugs

nesting in my children's hair.

If you've never had this happen,

you can really not prepare.

I don't believe these pests

had received an invitation.

A little bottle of poison

became our family's one salvation.

Flowing, toxic shampoo

poured on all the kids heads.

Every sheet, blanket and pillow

 stripped from the beds.

Stuffed animals were bagged 

sentenced for two weeks away.

We did not want these critters

to think they could stay.

We've been checking heads daily,

every last bit...

hoping there was not

an overlooked nit.

So now I am paranoid

always looking twice!

For I never again,

want to share my home with lice!

Second Guessing Hair

Looking at my blog pic, something caught my eye

I started focusing on my hair, I couldn't tell you why

I don't spend much time on it, nor is it cut a lot

When I cut it short last time, I was happy so I thought

But here I am staring at the long flowing tresses

and I find myself having all kinds of second guesses.
