Elementary school art January 2016

I love boards full of elementary school art. 

Every kids take on the same subject is a little different.

We went to the Cowichan Exhibition. 

The kids got to do some remote control car racing. 

Lice April 2016

So at 10:00 at night I discovered I had lice. I was reading to my son in his bed and I sctatched my head and found a small insect. I thought it might be a flea or something off a tree in our yard, because I had just come in from the garden right before reading to him. My husband took it from me to check if it was flea and he took a picture of it and discovered it was a louse. Seeing as it was so late and really not wanting to just go to bed now that I knew I had lice, I decided to just shave my head. I left a little tuft of hair at the front to make it seem more like a style. 

The next day I went to the grocery store in my friends neighbourhood and I feel like maybe I was getting some different reactions from people because of my kind of aggressive butch hair. One old woman was curt when I cheerfully said I could take her grocery cart instead of her puting it back in the line. She said something like "fine" in a pretty grumpy way. And then in the checkout line I had a conversation with a man that was smiley and really friendly bordering on flirty. He was around my age, probably somewhat younger than me and had a totally bald head. 

It will be interesting to notice if strangers treat me differently than I think they would have. I'm still the same me, I just have different hair.
