I haven't had time, or the will to type to everything that happened last weekend until now. It was just so much ridiculous that I'm trying to write it without making a novel.

A few hours after picking up the girls I go to put SD6's hair up and her neck is COVERED in little red marks. Some are scabbed, some look fresh and some look partially healed. They're not flea-bites, too small, so I start looking through her hair. She is infested with Lice, monstrously infested. There are so many that she has bites down her neck, and on her shoulders/upperback and collarbones. BM2 claims she didn't know. SD6 has definitely had them for awhile, some of them were huge.

Dealing with lice isn't a giant issue for me, I work in a pre-k and an after-school program. I do head checks and deal with the little bugs all the time. But because BM2 "didn't know" and didn't tell us I've let SD6 play normally with the other kids, I didn't tie anybody's hair up and if I'd known I would have insisted they play in the living room. Because when they play in BSs room they can't avoid playing on his bed. We treated SD6 and sent her home with the leftover treatments and instructions. I now get to spend the rest of the week checking BS and having a coworker check me.

SD8 waits until breakfast on Sunday morning to go "Oh! My doctor said I shouldn't have dairy!"
1- BM1 made no mention of that in email or at pick-up.
2- Um, why say that NOW? You've had a few glasses of milk, mac-n-cheese, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and chocolate. Practically all you've eaten this weekend is dairy.
SD8 freaks out when SO says BM didn't say that and insists she needs to call her. SO lets her and SD8 tells her mom off for not telling SO, she gives SO the phone, he explains why this has come up and I can HEAR the condescending tone she is using from the other end of the room. SO picks up the medicine bottle while I'm thinking 'Oh HELL no, I read that!' He tells BM1 it says nothing about dairy on the label, she's suddenly much nicer now that it's her fault it isn't a big deal. *eyeroll*

SD6 is on some sort of mood stabilizer for her tantrums, don't know what it is because BM2 just sent one pill in a baggie over for Sunday morning. And she's taking Melatonin during the week at BMs because she doesn't sleep there. According to BM2 she get's up 5-6 times a night and tries to climb into bed with her, or goes to watch TV. She sleeps like a dead animal here, all night, 9-10 hours, sleep so deep she wears pull ups to bed.
