W sent a text to me today about D's rash on her rear and that she'd called the doctor about it. She also said she'd found a few more eggs on D's head and was combing them out.
W took D to the zoo and I shot an industrial video for Honeywell today. D called me to talk around lunch and that was very cute. When my shoot was over, I contacted the realtor who said the market has shifted down again and we'll now need to list our place for $30K less than before if we want it to move.
I reported this to W who sent me a text back saying:

I am cutting the eggs out of her hair. I have removed 30 or more. did you treat her in Tahoe or not?
Well, I'll admit here that I back-slid a bit as I fired back w/ a bit of anger w/ my reply:
Quote:
Yes I treated her in Tahoe. Do you want sworn statements from my family?? (My neice) also used my Lice MD b/c she was freaked out. She will tell you the bottle was 1/2 full when she got it b/c I did D's hair 1st. Maybe she got them again from your apartment. Did you consider that or does everything have to be blamed on me?
Ok. That was wrong for me to do, but I guess I'm still bitter about yesterday and I'm really tired of being blamed for everything while she takes responsibility for nothing. I know I am better than that, but I was a bit weak and cracked.
W's repsonse was text book for her: "F@ck U"
I calmed down and rationally replied that I had done the treatment in Tahoe, asked if she could have pick it up at her apartment, and if she had bombed the aparment. She replied w/ "yep" and I told her that there was nothing I could do then b/c I did my part in Tahoe and checked for nits on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday but didn't find anything.
I then went into the gym and worked out hard and sent the following reply to W when I was done:
Quote:
I apologize if I was antigonistic earlier w/ my tone. I was just frustrated at a bunch of things. I did her hair in Tahoe and didn't see any lice. How is she?
D called me right away and then W took the phone. She apologized w/out officially apologizing as she said more than once "I know you did the treatment in Tahoe." She was freaked out again and started to cry. I just listened and let her talk and cry.
She then had me talk to D again who said she'd call back later, so I let her go.
I have to say I am disappointed in myself for taking her bait b/c I could have been the bigger person. I slipped and fought, and I can only hope I don't fight too much more in the future.
Now we'll see where it goes from here and of course I'll keep you all in the loop.
