it was in the morning yesterday, so it would have been late afternoon/evening in the UK. Several hours before you posted your lice situation.

see there you go, you do have a God and you don't even know it. everyone does... whether they care or not.

I think God likes you though, could be he's there in a big way because of your daughter's young age, that wouldn't be unusual. Or else, you have someone close to you who prays for you a lot. anyway, he knows you. It's a good thing, be thankful. You should take the time to get to know him, be observant of stuff like that. Stuff like this... it just comes as a thought and then you find out later that it had to do with someone else maybe... but when you know him he warns you of stuff, dangerous stuff headed your way, and if you listen to him real good he will even position you for prime opportunities that you might otherwise miss too. Keeps the devil away etc etc. Took me several years to really hear him well. the devil plays god and messes stuff up a lot if there's an open door for him to do that, so learning to know which is really God can take time and much patience, with yourself. And then of course learning that some of the things you do can inspire the presence of negative energy/spirits, and stopping those behaviors.. He spent a lot of time teaching me, it was quite a journey. Just like the bible says though, yeah it is him, it did and always will amaze me. I think we hear those vague thoughts, like... it's time for some tea tree oil... because he is so utterly awesome the wind literally carries his thoughts and we pick it up or else there are angels near us who hear him real good and pass the thought along, not sure whch really... but when he actually speaks to you directly it's not vague at all. seriously, he is so awesome that I sincerely believe we are alive on this planet because he is near, he is life. I sincerely do believe that, after years of knowing him. I never would have thought that before I knew him. I'm also pretty sure that in the same way, it's those thoughts of his that are what inspires something like a brand new two week old monarch butterfly to make a journey to Mexico for the winter and somehow find the right place where all the other monarchs are resting for the winter. Nothing else can ever adequately explain something like that for me.

I had no idea you had a lice problem when I pulled the tea tree oil off the shelf though I did think of you and your hunter cats as I poured it into the laundry...

The tea tree is also good for keeping spider mites and stuff of that nature out of your sheets and linens. If you do it just every few months your drawers/closet will always have a reminiscent (nice) faint tea tree oil odor and you won't have any bugs in there. Sort of like a cedar chest.

Well, I don't envy your days the next few weeks. The lice are real hard to get rid of. I eventually succumbed to pouring ammonia on my head to make sure I didn't have any, and I dragged the kid into the tub and poured it on her hair too because were were buying so much lice killer shampoo and it didn't work completely. And that stuff is expensive. Try to keep the ammonia off your scalp and keep your eyes closed real tight and shower immediately.

Dreadful but it worked. and keep the laundry running full steam ahead. It's a good time of year to clean the house anyway.

I should put some boric acid near my indoor firewood stash. I did put some outside under the wood pile to keep termites at bay.
