So in one weekend we experienced 2 plagues. On Thursday, we took the family to an Allen Americans hockey game thanks to the generosity of Neal's employer. There were weather warnings, tornado and hail but we were safe from the path of any tornados and we could here the hail pinging off the roof even with all the noise from the game. Luckily our minivan was parked in the parking structure.
When we got home, we found out via Facebook post from our friends and neighbors that the hail was ping pong to golf size! We also found a hole in our skylight. Apparently, it is 2 layers and it only went through the top layer so no water damage was found. Hooray!
After our insurance adjuster came out, he noted that the roof, skylight, all vents up top, gutters, and down spouts were damaged. It's a great season for roofers! Our neighborhood is spotted with little roofer advertisement signs in everybody's yards. Surprisingly, I have not seen two alike.
The day after the hail was Friday and Sophie went off to school complaining that her head itched. I looked for nits but sent her off with a diagnosis of itchy scalp probably due to her just starting to shampoo and rinse her hair on her own and probably not doing the best job. Got to thinking and thought maybe I should have Nurse Anna at school check Sophie for lice in case the spots I saw were not dandruff. She called me back 5 minutes later. Uhg! Lice.
Got her from school, stopped to pick up the treatment, and proceeded to wash, comb, vacuum, launder, and try not to scratch myself. The nurse gave both Rhys and I a clean bill of health and I now knowing exactly what nits look like, have checked Neal who also managed to pass. I was so, so, so tired by the end of the day. Luckily it was General Conference weekend so we had time to keep the washer and dryer running almost non-stop. During General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we are able to stay home and watch as the conference is broadcast to our TVs and all over the world.
I hope things lie low for a bit. And that the 2nd treatment ensures complete annihilation of lice.

Oh no! Poor Sophie. Good thin is that lice only like clean heads so that means she's doing a good job with the shampooing and rinsing.
We had hail break our skylight the first summer we were in our house. Thankfully it was 2 layers also, so no water damage.
