Things I have learned this week:

1. My washing machine makes a beeping sound to indicate that it has finished the wash cycle. This beeping sound is like fingernails on a blackboard to me. It. has. to. stop. Now.
2. The lice killing shampoo, Rid, is a waste of money.
3. Ditto for the "Robi-comb."
4. If your child contracts head lice, expect her to be out of school for at least four days.
5. Mine was out all week.
6. There is no shortage of lice removal advice on the internet.
