Serenity

Nothing sets the mood better...

Than looking out your many windows at the ocean and having it be so calm it is glassy.  Add to that a nice delicious cup of coco....then maybe throw in seeing a sea otter float out in the bay just enjoying the weak sunlight making it through the cloud cover....

It just makes you go...aaahhhhh and sigh a little....

Yesterday started this way.  Makes you not mind being up earlier than you want hustling the kids off to school so you can enjoy this moment....

Then...

The phone...

RINGS....

And a fellow parent is calling you to inform you that they....

have...

LICE!


That will effectively put an immediate end to your feel good moment....

Thankfully I buzzed the boys hair on Saturday and I like to think I would have noticed any little hitchhikers they might have brought home.  We did a check anyway, even though their hair is less then 1/2 inch long.

I think I would rather deal with a run of strep through our family than a case of lice....it would be easier to deal with anyway...


So now I am waiting for another morning so I can have back my serene moment in time.....and hopefully the sea otter or maybe even the sea lion will be there too!
