Lice, Lust & Life

I ended my work day today with a lovely conversation with my local Business Professional Women Association.  I have the esteemed honour to be the local "Woman of the Week" for International Women's Day celebrations.  My interview was honest and forthcoming, as I aim to be in my everyday life, and while I was humbled, I was also proud.

My pedestal of perceived greatness did not last long.  A quick text from my middle son's Autism Worker/Tuesday after school caregiver/dog nail clipper technician- led me down the reality path - LICE.

Products purchased, rinsing began, combing and holding back my urge to retch.  Laundry commenced immediately and stuffed animals were stashed outside in the cold to freeze the little bastards laying eggs on the collection of "Pooh" bears.   My "911 call" was to my dear friend who has dealt with this issue prior, and helped me last year with my other offspring.  She assured me that my technique was correct and made a date to come help me the next day to get rid of the rest of the nasty buggers.  Then the dog pisses on the floor.

Washer spinning, dryer on scorch and finally settling down to a blessed gift of leftovers, with my "non-nit" infested nine year old (going on 29 apparently) and he decides that it is time for the sex talk.  I look around for the hidden cameras, none.  My partner and father to my children is conveniently on a business trip - it is a conspiracy.  The questions continue and I am happy for the open dialogue, just have not ingested enough wine to be creative and have no back-up.  I go for the "erect penis inserting into the vagina" and it works, as the  "erect penis" comment has him changing the subject.  I do confirm with him that I am pleased we can be open about sexuality and that he can ask me anything, then I pour a glass of wine.

Stay strong, stay true, and keep a sense of humour.
