Tic Trauma !!

Today We had quite a morning, a good friend and her Baby were coming over to do some scrap booking so i was in a hurry to get things picked up from the morning and KayLea insisted she wanted a bath so it actually worked out OK because it got her out of my hair for a minute and when i was putting her hair in pig tails after the bath we discovered this creature on her head!!! we do pretty regular (more regularly NOW!) tic checks but honestly i had never even checked her hair.. I got kind of freaked out so i called the Dr to try to find out what i was looking for in terms of did i get it all out etc... i must have sounded freaked because the nurse who had started giving me the speech about tic's stopped and said we have an appointment at 2:45 BRING THE TIC... so i fished him out of the water cup (assuming i had to drowned... him but he wasn't dead!) and put him in a zip loc bag just as instructed (that's where he is in the picture above).. so he looked with a magnified light and she's fine.. i did get it all out and it wasn't a Deer Tic (which is the one's they worry about for Lime Disease).. i got way more info than i ever wanted to know about a Tic's but we have to keep the little bugger for 2 weeks.. watch the bite and make sure it doesn't get a red ring or rash or weird fever or joint pain .. so after 2 weeks we can flush him...

isn't it fun living in the country~~ i think I need a NAP!!! did i mention that I've had itchy scalp ALL DAY!!!
