We have a wading pool not too terribly far from us.  A wading pool that I spent a lot of time at last year during the summer that would not be warm.  And now that we are nearing the end of the summer that will not cool down, it was our first time going.

So, they start filling it at 11 in the AM.  And that's all fine.  I managed to get a load of laundry out on the line before we left, etc, etc...  make a lunch to take with, etc, etc...  don't happen to see the sunscreen where it should be, so I assume that I put it in my bag.  Without checking.  I just figured it was that.  You know, because I have those angel like children who would never just move something to make me crazy and want to pull out my hair and give them to travelling gypsies.

But, I digress.  It's a theme.

So, we get to the wading pool after walking for about 20 minutes in the hot sun, and there's no sunscreen.  I think ((stupid stupid stupid)) well, no big deal, it's kind of cloudy in between the periods of hot hot sun.  This is me, the gal who when it says on the weather network that unprotected skin will burn in 15 minutes, burns in 7 minutes.

The kids are fine.  Not even looking any darker.  Me, however?  I can feel the fireback taking over.  Oh yah, it's gonna need some aloe tonight.

You know what sucks about being a mom?  And a Christian who has been all gung-ho about taking responsibilites for your own actions, blah blah blah...  I can't even blame this on anyone.

sigh.
