I Hate Bugs

Tuesday morning while doing Megan's hair I notice a bug in her hair.  YUCK.  So I picked it out and saw one more.  I didn't see any eggs or anything else but my first thought was lice.  I then checked Tyler and Josh's hair to make sure they didn't have any signs of bugs...did I already say yuck.  They both looked good so I took them both to school and then Megan and I went to get lice shampoo and cleaners.
I will be honest I was totally freaking out.  I hate bugs and the thought just made me so sick.  I started washing the sheets, pillow cases, blankets, etc while I washed Megan's hair.  You're suppose to put the shampoo on dry hair and then leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash it off.  Then there was some gel that they have you put on the hair to them comb out the bugs and eggs.  I did this on Megan but I didn't get anything out of her hair because I never saw anything besides those two bugs on her.  I did notice like four of the little bugs on the bathroom counter where I did Megan's hair that morning.  So I don't know if they came off the comb when I was combing it or if they were on her shoes or clothes because she was outside right before I did her hair.
After Megan was all washed I then took to totally cleaning the whole house like a total mad woman.  Anything that could be laundered was washed and dry on the highest temperature and highest heat.  I put all the pillows in the dryer on high heat and got out our steam cleaner and steamed all the mattresses and around the beds.
The kit I bought also had a spray so I sprayed the chairs and couches and the mattresses.  I then vacuumed and vacuumed and cleaned and cleaned.  It was madness.  I was so worried about my own head that I asked Margie to come over and check my head.  She didn't see anything on me, YEAH!
After I got Josh from preschool and Tyler from school, I cut their hair really short and shampooed them both just to be safe.  Then when Tony came home from work I did the same to him.  Still didn't see any bugs or signs of bugs on them.  Thank goodness.
Then we had to eat dinner fast and then go to Josh and Tyler's soccer games.  After the games we got the kids to bed and then I continued to do more laundry and then had Tony check me again.  He didn't see anything so I then showered and used the shampoo myself, just to be safe.
Wednesday I finished all the washing and cleaned all the car seats and vacuumed again.  I am not sure if it really was lice or what, but my house is as clean as it can be.  The car is now all cleaned and the car seats back in place.
Yesterday before soccer practice I noticed Josh was feeling warm.  He had a little temperature of 100.6 degrees.  He was still active and wanted to play so I let him go to practice.  We came home half way through Tyler's practice and I took Josh's temperature again and this time it was 101.7.  So I gave him some medicine and he went to bed.  I asked him if anything hurt and he said no, so that is good.  I kept him home from school today.  His temperature has gone down so I hope that he doesn't get worse.  Be it actual bugs or germ bugs I don't like any of them...YUCK!!!
