Why Mommy Bloggers Should Reconsider Attendance at Hollywood Events
One of the greatest joys of blogging is the ability to find humor in everyday challenges. From the black marker that Sam used to label my belongings to the red one that Max decided to use on his sibling, these moments can often transform into comedic anecdotes. Blogging has granted me the perspective to see the lighter side of situations that might have previously frustrated me. However, I currently find myself in a predicament where humor feels elusive. My household has fallen victim to a lice infestation, and there is absolutely nothing amusing about it.
The sheer volume of laundry I’m facing is overwhelming; it’s not funny at all. The unpleasant smell of the medicated shampoos we have to endure, which makes our eyes water and our stomachs churn, is certainly no laughing matter. The reality that every stuffed toy and doll has been sealed away in the basement adds to the stress. And yes, the fact that I am hiring a mobile lice specialist at $100 per hour to eradicate this problem from our lives feels anything but humorous.
Yet, the thought of potentially transmitting lice to a celebrity like Emma Stone, leading to a Hollywood outbreak? Now that does bring a smirk to my face, albeit just a little bit.
Disclaimer: My partner advised me against sharing this post. Though I typically don’t seek his input, I wanted his perspective on this one. He believes I’m being mean-spirited, while I think it’s ridiculous. I’m not suggesting I want Emma to suffer from lice or that I’d intentionally infect her; rather, the notion of a news report tracing an outbreak back to me is amusing. So, here we are.
