Thank goodness it's Sabbath. This week was such a trying and frustrating week. It's been everything from at least one of my kids going to the office each day to finding out that 7 of the 15 kids in my class have lice! Let's talk about the lice ordeal first...
So one of my kids came to me saying her head was really itchy and after her mom (the librarian) inspected and found lice, I decided to do an inspection of my whole class and found that 7 of them had it...BAD! Royally freaked out is what I was. I don't handle bugs or anything crawly or any animals really very well so I was not ok with any of this. After going to the office to see what I should do next, whether to call their parents or write a note home, I found out that it is a normal thing for people to have lice around here! WHAT!! Nobody warned me about this! Anyways, the whole office staff just laughs at me now and jokes arounds about lice whenever they see me because apparently it was very humorous for them to see me freaking out like this. Clearly, after that day I went and bought some lice shampoo and treated my hair even though my roommate Ale checked my head thoroughly. Mercy. All I have to say is I have a lot of hair and I WILL NOT be getting lice this year if I have anything to say about it. YUCK!
Anyways, as far as the rest of my week is concerned I'm just glad it's over and I have a chance to start over this next week. I must admit it's very frustrating to hear from my children every day that Ms. Brittany (their teacher from last year) was so much more fun and they don't like me and I'm no fun etc. I finally made it very clear to them that I am not Ms. Brittany and though I may be much more strict than her, I can still have fun with them but they have to be willing. They haven't said anything since then so hopefully that worked.
All that's left to say is I'm super glad it's Sabbath and that I have time to relax and recuperate. Please pray that next week will be much better and that patience will come easily for me and the children.
Till next time... :-D

Oh my Ashley....no lice in that long beautiful hair of yours :-) Hope your Sabbath was the peace, rest and renewal that you needed. We are enjoying ours...dinner will be ready soon. Love and miss you so much
Hey Ashley,
Sounds like you are having a typical SM experience :) I will tell you from experience though, there are many things worse than having lice ;) Praise God for your work there, blessings on you
