To a Louse, after Three Weeks With No Relief in Sight
Wee obligate para’sitical beastie,
O, what a party’s on her heidie!
Thou’s gae’n about being nasty
Above her chin!
I’m nae laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murdering PermetherinTM.
I'm nae sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
Long syne thy hematophagic lugger.
Which sets me child tae scratchin’
At you, my oviparous bugger
Up there a hatchin’!
I doubt na, whyles, her blud may thieve;
What then? thou booger, thou maun live!
A drap or ickle o’ that serum
Is wha’ you’re suckin’;
I'll get a dose o’ interferon,
An' gie you a good...talkin’ to.
But Lousie, thou art such a pain,
And hard to pry from aft girlie's brain:
The best-laid schemes o' lice an' men
Gang aft agley,
At least thine will, if the louse-cream
Gives you your conge’!
Still thou are blest, compared wi' me!
All you do is breed and flee:
But och! A fortnight or mair
She's still beloused!
And wi’ no daycare for me child,
I’m stuck i’ the house!
(Apologies to Robert Burns, and a hat tip to Lisa, who inspired this work)

OhmiGod! The kids are climbing the walls!
These are from the preceding weekend. Little Miss wanted to show what she had learned:
Yeah, that'll get you a full ride at Stanford, sweetie.
But it did inspire the Boy to show us what HE could do. So here they are, climbing the walls:
Sadly, the Great Louse Invasion still goes on - Mojo is home today steeping the Girl's head in some awful prescription PemetherinTM goop that's supposed to kill the little bastards. However, we've already tried the over-the-counter insecticide shampoos, which I read are already full of Pemetherin and have, apparently, facilitated the breeding of a race of super-lice immune to the toxin. Great.
I welcome our new ectoparasitic masters.

Fit for a Princess
Well, half a mission accomplished.
I haven't laid hands on the Peep's LEGO yet, but the Little Miss has her pink "princess" bicycle safely laid away in the basement waiting for Santa to assemble it on Christmas Eve.
What is it that makes little girls crave pink, fluffy things? I swear we have raised the girl on climbing and running; she told me just today that if some scary monster tried to frighten her that she would "kick him in the goolies and then throw him in the garbage." Tomorrow I will have to post the pictures of her - literally - climbing the walls. She's a tough girl I have no fears of growing up to become some frilly helpless little thing being walked on by her inamorata.
But from whence, then, this delight in all things pink and princessy?
There are more things in this world, Walt Disney, than are dreamed of in your philosophy. But you wouldn't know it from my daughter.

Weekend Wrap Up Baby!
Hey all! Missed you on the blog this week but tried to keep on on Twitter;0
Nothing and the usual nothing has happened this weekend. Giveaways keep on going, working on several logos including my contest winner. Can't wait to show it to you guys, it's soooo cute! Kawaii♥
We are having some crazy weather here and it feels like a f'n stuffy dessert. Sometimes I don't know whether to heat or a/c? We go from freezing at night to yuck in the day:( Definitely not good Xmas weather.
In order to keep what little friends and supporters I have, I am offering a newsletter subscription for my Give it to me Tara! blog.
Please Click Below To Sign Up For Our Newsletter
Add "Subscribe" for the subject line, thank you.
Did you know that people hate SPAM?? lol
I'm really enjoying my return to Etsy and mostly leaving the corporate design world. Etsians are so much easier to deal with and generally have the same tastes/style I'm familiar with. So it's been a real pleasure working with some of you again!
Hoping this week to make it over to the Hotel Del to see their beautiful Xmas tree. It's a special place for me and my hubby. After we met he took me to Coronado and I finally had someone who appreciated the Victorian era to talk to! We went every time I was pregnant and now we take our kids yearly.
Etsy $20 Shop Package is ending on the 25th click below...
Have a fantastic week everybody and please join our Give it to me Monday! blog hop below.
