Today started out great. Terrible night’s sleep, but I was totally tuned in with God, woke up on time, things ran smoothly in the kitchen with Elda, and then it was ruined when I looked in the mirror...
I found a head louse in my front hair line. Sad day.
So the whole day I was awkward, uncomfortable, itchy, embarrassed, and bummed. Luckily, I’m blessed with an awesome aunt who was really cool and helpful about the whole thing. I watched the three little ones together for 7 ½ hours today; it was long, but it probably wouldn’t have felt as long had I not been itching (pun kind of intended) to take care of my issue. I cleaned out and combed my hair for two hours and then started on the biggest load of laundry in my life.
So that was my day. I tried my best to keep my face and head a safe distance from the kids without neglecting them (babies and little ones sure do like to be close to you). At one point the two babies were asleep, so I put a movie on for Beteli to keep her quiet and I had her lay on my lap as I ran my finger nails across her scalp like my mom used to do. It’s kind of the most soothing thing in the world—put her to sleep. :)
And, I love Jesus. He comforts me in funny ways.
