Should Sheridan get a boy hair cut?!?!

We are beginning to toy with the idea of cutting Sheridan's hair SHORT...more boyish style!!!

Why, you ask?!?! Sheridan has beautiful, long, girlish hair!!! Well, Sheridan came home yesterday with a note in her folder stating that someone in her class was found with head lice. So, as a precaution, we decided to do a head check...YUP! She too has it! UGH, GROSS!!!

So, last night, after calling a friend that recently dealt with this, I ran to Target and bought the full household treatment package...shampoo, treatment gel, and spray for non-washable items. Sheridan & I spent 4 hours of our life last night treating her hair...Sheridan's hair is thicker than I originally thought! Poor girl didn't get to bed until after 11pm, and she was complaining of her bottom hurting from sitting in one spot for so long!
So, this morning, we needed to check her hair...found 5 more and counting!!! Those little DEVILS!!! So we are about to spend the next 4 hours of our life treating her hair again!!! URGH!!!

I am now finding out too (for those of you with girls), that lice actually prefer CLEAN hair over "dirty/treated" hair. Glad that I keep Sheridan's hair so clean, but will have to think twice the next time that I think she needs her hair washed!!! Once this is all over & past us, I will be "treating" her hair everyday with hairspray before she steps foot outside our home! Definitely do not want to do this again!!!!
So, Greg would really like to shave her BALD right now!!! Someone stop him from getting his clippers!!!!
