I'm shredding

for years the summer sun's dreaded burn has been avoided in our household by slathering ourselves and our children, and demanding they follow suit when they arrived at the age of conscience.  you would think that i would be 1. smart enough to know better and 2. risen above such rebellious attitudes that have plagued me since my younger years. 

but i am sad to say (confess) my rebellious attitude continues to cause me to struggle.  sometimes it wins and but it does not make me smarter, as a matter of fact it hinders the application of my aptitude and hence i do have a sun burn.  through the week i refused to complain about the pain, you know it is my burn and i will be the one to pay the price, don't nag me attitude.  and for the most part, except for the hugs that i had to turn away, i dealt with it fairly well.  until today.  aiiiieeeee carumba!!!!!  i itch.  and if i rub, the little blisters break.  and after they break they peel.  and its ugly!  like old lady skin peeling is very very unattractive!!!  maybe i should just go drag myself on the lawn and get it over with.  at this rate i will be peeling for a month of sundays.

dont burn yourselves....use sunscreen....if for no other reason you don't end up with peeling old lady skin someday.
